The combination of wraparound moisture from the departing nor'easter and a new upper low disturbance brought heavy snow to Sussex and Morris Counties and an accumulating snow through central New Jersey from the late afternoon on March 7th through March 8th. Snowfall averaged 5 to 10 inches in Sussex and Warren Counties, 3 to 6 inches in the rest of the Passaic Basin as well as in the Raritan Basin and 2 to 5 inches across the rest of the central third of New Jersey. Accumulations in the southern third of New Jersey were less than 2 inches.  The snow impacted the morning commute and travel on the 8th, especially in Morris County. Multiple accidents were reported on Interstates 80 and 287 as well as New Jersey State Route 23. In Morris County, New Jersey State Route 15 was closed in Jefferson because of an accident. Speeds on the New Jersey Turnpike were lowered to 45 mph. The accumulating snow caused about 1,500 homes and businesses to lose power in northwest New Jersey. New Jersey Transit cross honored bus and rail tickets. Rail and bus delays averaged 15 to 30 minutes.
Intermittent precipitation started again on the 7th as rain with some wet snow mixed in far northwest New Jersey. As the precipitation intensity increased, the rain changed to snow in Sussex County during the late afternoon on the 7th and the rest of central and northern New Jersey (from north to south) as the evening of the 7th progressed. The rain changed to snow after Midnight EST on the 8th in the southern third of the state. The snow fell at its heaviest during the morning commute on the 8th. While the snow persisted into the afternoon on the 8th, the intensity lessened and indirect insolation from the March sun prevented much snow from additionally accumulating from the late morning onward.  In fact, except for far northwest New Jersey, the snow changed to rain before ending that afternoon.
