A complex low pressure system tracked across the Great Lakes during the 8th and the 9th, allowing an associated frontal boundary to move over the northern Mid Atlantic Region on the 8th, with a secondary area of low pressure forming off the Mid Atlantic coast. Significant forcing and lift within the atmosphere resulted in an intense band of snow developing across northern Maryland during the morning of the 8th. This heavy snow band pushed east, moving over portions of northern Maryland, northern Delaware, southeastern Pennsylvania, and into central to southern New Jersey during the afternoon. Heavy snow fell for several hours, and areas under this banding feature received in excess of 6 inches of snow, with the highest snowfall amounts reaching 12 inches. Snowfall rates within this intense snow band reached 2 to 3 inches per hour for a time. Outside of this snow band and its effected area, most locations received between 1 and 4 inches of snow, with mainly less than an inch falling across northern New Jersey and southern parts of the Delmarva.
By late afternoon to the evening of the 8th, the stronger forcing and banding of precipitation diminished, but with warmer air moving into the region, a transition to sleet, freezing rain, and rain occurred from southeast to northwest into the night of the 8th and the early morning of the 9th. The transition to rain occurred more quickly across the Delmarva and into portions of southern New Jersey, while cold air lingering at the surface resulted in freezing rain lasting into the night from around the Lehigh Valley, the Poconos, and into northwest New Jersey. Ice accretion was reported across the area, with ice accumulations in the one tenth to one quarter inch range, mainly from the Interstate 95 corridor on north and westward.
Representative snowfall totals included 10.5 inches in Charlestown (Cecil County), 9.5 inches in North East (Cecil County), 9.0 inches in Perryville (Cecil County), 8.5 inches in Colora (Cecil County), 7.5 inches in Elkton (Cecil County), 7.0 inches in Childs (Cecil County), 6.0 inches in Fair Hill (Cecil County), 4.0 inches in Cecilton (Cecil County), 2.0 inches in Galena (Kent County), 1.7 inches in Greensboro (Caroline County), 1.0 inches in Denton (Caroline County) and in Queenstown (Queen Annes County), and 0.8 inches of snow in Easton (Talbot County).  Representative ice accumulations included one tenth of an inch in Elkton (Cecil County).
