STORM DESCRIPTION
A passing upper-level disturbance caused a new surface storm system to develop along a front off the New Jersey coast, bringing the first widespread snowfall of the winter to much of the state, particularly central portions of the state.
Synoptic Discussion
A cold front pushed southeast across the region during the day on Sunday the 28th. An upper-level disturbance trailing behind the front caused a low pressure to develop along the front during the evening of the 28th and early morning of the 29th. By midday on the 29th, the low was well off the coast.
Local Discussion
Light snow gradually overspread the state during the late afternoon and evening hours of the 28th. As the upper-level disturbance approached from the west and a new low pressure developed just off the coast, the snow intensified late in the evening. The heaviest bands of snow developed and presisted across central portions of the state near and after midnight on the 29th. By dawn on the 29th, precipitation had departed off the coast as the new low pressure moved away and the upper-level disturbance passed to the east. Accumulations were highest across Monmouth County where they ranged from 3 to 5 inches. 2 to 4 inches fell across Mercer County, 1 to 3 inches across Ocean, Burlington, Middlesex, Hunterdon, Essex, Union, Gloucester and Salem counties, and a coating to 2 inches fell across the remainder of the state.
