A clipper system moving in from the northwest, combined with cold temperatures and a secondary low moving northeast along the coast, gave the Garden State it's first general snowfall of the season.  The snow started after the evening commute on Thursday, January 5th, and ended before the morning commute on Friday, January 6th, so negative impacts from this event were minimal.  In addition, the snow was light and fluffy, which greatly eased the removal process and roadway pre-treatment prevented accumulation on the major highways. A number of school districts around the area opened late on Friday morning.
