Precipitation associated with a low pressure system moving north along a nearby offshore front  began as light rain during the evening hours on the 4th, then turned to snow from northwest to southeast during the overnight hours. Locations near the shore received more precipitation, and more snow, given their closer proximity to the storm. A heavy, wet snow began accumulating before or near the beginning of the morning rush, and so transportation was effected until the snow was able to turn mush on area roads with increased traffic.
