What the National Weather Service wrote

Freezing rain led to widespread motor vehicle accidents, and numerous falls and injuries. NJ Transit suspended bus service, and police issued closures on many roadways.

The wider storm

Warm air overriding a stationary front along the coast, while a shallow Arctic air mass remained entrenched over land, led to light freezing rain through the day, and also into the evening in the higher interior elevations. Freezing rain continued even as air temperatures warmed above freezing due to very cold ground temperatures. The frozen ground also resulted in flooding in Union County.
