The wider storm

An area of low pressure tracked east from the Ohio Valley the night of February 1 to just south of Long Island the afternoon of February 2. The close proximity of the low with arctic air to the north resulted in snow at the onset, which transitioned to a wintry mix during the morning hours before going back to snow by early afternoon. Northeast New Jersey received 5 to 12 inches of snowfall and up to a third of an inch of ice.
