How much snow fell in New Jersey on Saturday?
TRENTON — Temperatures in the 40s on Sunday should help to melt away much of the snow that fell across the state on Saturday.
"Some areas of the state saw a bit more snow than anticipated, and some saw less. There's never going to be a "perfect" snow forecast, but I think we ended up pretty close in terms of the storm's magnitude and impacts," Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow said. "We'll do a full analysis of the storm once all the numbers are in later this week, so we can learn and improve for the next winter storm."
Zarrow said the highest snow total he has seen so far was 6.5 inches in Woodbridge. "With the exception of Salem and Cumberland in SW NJ, every county had at least one report of 4+ inches," Zarrow said.
Interstates were mostly wet with three lanes and the shoulders open on Sunday morning. There were some slick spots that led to spinouts on the Garden State Parkway and NJ Turnpike on Saturday night, and during the early hours of Sunday as temperatures went below freezing.
State Police Sgt. FC Jeff Flynn said that in the areas they patrol officers responded to 303 motor vehicle crashes and 363 calls for aide between 12 a.m. Saturday morning and 11:59 p.m. Saturday evening.
Police told 6 ABC Action News that three people were hurt in a collision on Route 49 and Hunters Mill Road in Maurice River. The police said in the story that snow may have played a part in on Saturday evening.
Zarrow said Sunday's high temperatures today will struggle to make it into the 35 to 40 degree range, putting temperatures just above freezing. Zarrow said hopefully we'll get some sunshine to help melt some snow and ice.
