An accumulating snow that fell throughout most of New Jersey during the first half of the day on the 18th caused slippery and hazardous traveling conditions on untreated roadways.  The precipitation fell as sleet and freezing rain in parts of interior southeast New Jersey toward the end of the event. Snowfall averaged 1 to 4 inches with the highest snowfall over the Pine Barrens and the lowest snowfall in Sussex (too far northwest of the heavier precipitation) and Cape May (more rain than snow) Counties. Ice accumulations were less than one-tenth of an inch. Snow overspread the state from south to north between 200 a.m. EST and 500 a.m. EST on the 18th. Southeast of the Pine Barrens, the snow transitioned from snow to sleet and then rain (some freezing rain inland) around 6 a.m. EST. In the southern half of the state, precipitation ended between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. EST. In the northern half of the state, a second shot of lighter snow moved through during the morning and the snow ended around Noon EST on the 18th.
Because of the morning snow, many school districts had delayed openings. All New Jersey state offices for non-emergency personnel also had delayed openings until 11 a.m. EST.  On major roadways, accidents with lane closures were reported on Interstate 295 in Logan Township (Gloucester County),  the New Jersey Turnpike in Mount Laurel Township (Burlington County) and the Garden State Parkway in Upper Township (Cape May County).  The freeze/thaw cycle was causing ice dams and roof leaks. In addition, municipal budgets continued to get strained because of the wintry weather and salt shortages persisted.
Representative snowfall included 4.5 inches in Tabernacle (Burlington County), 4.2 inches in Winslow Township (Camden County), 4.1 inches in Medford Lakes (Burlington County), 4.0 inches in Jackson Township (Ocean County), 3.7 inches in Hainesport (Burlington County), 3.5 inches in Magnolia (Atlantic County), Washington Township (Gloucester County) and Lindenwold (Camden County), 3.4 inches in Cream Ridge (Monmouth County), 3.3 inches in Mount Laurel (Burlington County) and Howell Township (Monmouth County), 3.0 inches in Delran Township (Burlington County) and Swedesboro (Gloucester County), 2.8 inches in Somerdale (Camden County), Lawrence Township (Mercer County), Pittsgrove Township (Salem County) and Holland Township (Hunterdon County), 2.6 inches in Allamuchy Township (Warren County), 2.5 inches in Wall Township (Monmouth County) and Chatham (Morris County), 2.4 inches in Hopewell Township (Cumberland County), 2.2 inches in Flemington (Hunterdon County), 2.0 inches in Gloucester City (Camden County),  New Brunswick (Middlesex County), Bound Brook (Somerset County) Ewing Township (Mercer County) and Seabrook (Salem County), 1.9 inches in Woodstown (Salem County), 1.8 inches in East Brunswick (Middlesex County) and Hillsborough Township (Somerset County),  1.7 inches in Florham Park (Morris County), 1.5 inches in Marcella (Morris County) and Hope (Warren County), 1.1 inches in Toms River (Ocean County), 1.0 inch in Hardyston Township (Sussex County) and Hackettstown (Warren County) and 0.5 inches at the Atlantic City International Airport and Woodbine (Cape May County).
The snow was caused by an occluded front that moved into Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia during the early morning of the 18th.  A new low pressure system formed on a warm front over the Delmarva Peninsula around sunrise on the 18th and then tracked northeast reaching the central New Jersey coast in the middle of the morning. This new low gave an added boost to the precipitation across central and southern New Jersey before it moved offshore.
