STORM DESCRIPTION
A weak Alberta Clipper brought a period of snow to much of New Jersey, with the highest accumulations across the southern half of the state.
Synoptic Discussion
A strong cold front pushed southeastward across the state on Monday, March 5th. Behind the front, a bitterly cold arctic airmass pushed southward across the state from Canada. An Alberta Clipper moved southeastward from south-central Canada on Tuesday the 6th, passing south of the state on Wednesday the 7th. By the morning of Thursday the 8th, it had pushed off the mid-Atlantic coast.
Local Discussion
Light snow overspread most of the state from west to east around dawn on Wednesday the 7th. The snow continued at a light but steady clip through the morning, gradually tapering off from north to south during the afternoon. Accumulations were around 3 inches along the southeastern coast, ranged mainly from 1 to 3 inches across the rest of southern New Jersey, and were generally between a coating to 1 inch across the northern half of the state.
