The near arrival of the center of the arctic air mass brought some of the lowest wind chills and temperatures of the winter season to New Jersey. While winds by the morning of the 16th were not as strong as they were on the morning of the 15th, air temperatures were lower. This produced wind chill factors as low as around 20 degrees below zero in most of the state. Actual low temperatures were around zero.
Outreach teams were dispatched to get homeless people to shelters. Code Blues remained in effect. The extreme cold weather continued to cause pipes to freeze and many dead batteries.  AAA Mid-Atlantic responded to more than 1,600 dead battery calls. Plumbers said they have not been this busy with frozen pipes in over 20 years. The lingering effects of the cold continued into the 17th as a water main broke in Asbury Park (Monmouth County) and a busted sprinkler pipe damaged nine apartments and displaced 16 residents from the Gloucester Township Senior Campus (Camden County).

Lowest hourly wind chill factors included 22 degrees below zero in Sussex (Sussex County), 20 degrees below zero in Belmar (Monmouth County), 19 degrees below zero in Atlantic City (Atlantic County), Wrightstown (Burlington County) and Toms River (Ocean County), 18 degrees below zero in Trenton (Mercer County) and Somerville (Somerset County), 17 degrees below zero in Morristown (Morris County) and 13 degrees below zero in Millville (Cumberland County).
Actual low temperatures included 2 degrees below zero in Hackettstown (Warren County) and Kingwood (Hunterdon County), 1 degree below zero in Sussex (Sussex County), 0 in Woodstown (Salem County), 1 degree above zero in Morristown (Morris County), Somerville (Somerset County), New Brunswick (Middlesex County), Trenton (Mercer County), Belmar (Monmouth County), Lumberton (Burlington County), Swedesboro (Gloucester County) and Toms River (Ocean County) 2 degrees above zero in Cherry Hill (Camden County), Atlantic City International Airport (Atlantic County) and Millivlle (Cumberland County) and 5 degrees above zero in Wildwood (Cape May County).
The low temperature of 2 degrees above zero at the Atlantic City International Airport established a new daily record low for February 16th which stood since 1888.  The low of 1 degree above zero at Trenton equaled the daily record low also set in 1888.
The extremely unseasonably cold arctic air mass and low wind chill factors were caused by the arrival of an arctic high pressure system to New Jersey on the late afternoon of the 16th. Prior to its arrival the pressure gradient between it and a departing intense low pressure system in the Canadian Maritimes kept northwest winds persisting through the night of the 15th and made it feel even colder.
