The second storm struck not less than four days later and dumped 3-5 inches on January 7, 2022. The storm was primarily snow, except for portions of Sussex County, (portions of the county closer to the coast), where a wintry mix and even periods of rain occurred. Eastern and southern Sussex County saw amounts between a trace to 3 inches.
