A pair of quick moving low pressure systems dropped snow across New Jersey from the late afternoon through the evening and into the overnight on the 2nd. While the snowfall was light,  the subfreezing temperatures helped it accumulate efficiently and caused untreated roadways to quickly become treacherous. The greatest snowfall (one to two inches) fell in the northwest and southeast parts of the state with generally lesser accumulations elsewhere. The snow began in the northwest part of the state during the late afternoon on the 2nd and started elsewhere during the early evening on the 2nd. The snow ended during the early morning on the 3rd.  Representative snowfall included 2.0 inches in Newport (Cumberland County) and Green Creek (Cape May County), 1.3 inches in Washington Township (Morris County), Highland Lakes (Sussex County) and Hope (Warren County), 1.2 inches in Freehold (Monmouth County), 1.1 inches in Somers Point (Atlantic County), Cream Ridge (Monmouth County), Franklin (Sussex County) and Liberty (Warren County), 1.0 inch in Estell Manor (Atlantic County), Florence (Burlington County), Vineland (Cumberland County), Glassboro (Gloucester County), Clinton (Hunterdon County), Marcella (Morris County) and Stewartsville and Hackettstown in Warren County, 0.9 inches in Lakewood (Ocean County), 0.8 inches at the Atlantic City International Airport, Westampton (Burlington County), Ocean Township (Monmouth County) and Bridgewater (Somerset County), 0.6 inches in Woodstown (Salem County), 0.5 inches in Pennsauken (Camden County) and 0.4 inches in Ewing (Mercer County) and North Brunswick (Middlesex County). The snow was caused by double barrel low pressure systems. First an Alberta Clipper low pressure system that rapidly moved east from near Chicago on the morning of the 2nd,  to Lake Erie on the evening of the 2nd. This low pressure system then slowed and weakened as a southern stream low pressure system moved through the Tennessee Valley on the evening of the 2nd and moved through Virginia overnight on the 2nd and intensified as it moved well east of the Middle Atlantic Coast on the 3rd.
