Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014 - Morning Weather Discussion

The storm yesterday went pretty much as expected, although Sussex County definitely got the short end of the stick as far as the snow goes.  Other than that and the fact that the snow started and ended a bit earlier than expected, this storm worked out pretty much how I forecast, with most areas getting between about 5-10 inches and some locations getting as much as 15 inches.  Click here to view the snowfall totals for Northeast New Jersey, and click here to view the snowfall totals for the rest of New Jersey.  There were some amazing differences within some counties, such as Bergen County where the low snowfall amount was in the Northwest part of the county where Oakland got 4.7 inches while Little Ferry in the Southeast part of the county got 13.4 inches.  Moving forward, we will get a bit of light snow tomorrow afternoon that could accumulate to a dusting to a half of an inch in some places.  Friday morning temperatures will drop to around zero, and then Saturday we will have more light snow that could accumulate to 1-2 inches.  Sunday morning temperatures will drop to the low single digits and then Sunday night we will likely get more light snow that could accumulate to a dusting to an inch or so.  Monday we will have a chance of some snow showers.  We may actually then get a few nice days for the middle of next week but we will likely pay the price, with low temperatures possibly dropping to the mid to low single digits below zero on Tuesday morning and the low to mid single digits above zero on Wednesday morning.  Then toward the end of next week there is a decent chance at another significant Nor'easter affecting our area.  The main question will be whether this storm gets close enough to the coast to affect our immediate area (right now I think it will).  If the storm does get close enough to the coast, it should start some time on Thursday and continue into Friday and it has the chance to be quite significant.  Then for Super Bowl Sunday it currently looks as if we will have a chance for snow showers in the morning as a cold front pushes through, followed by clearing in the afternoon.  It may then get quite cold at night.  Then we will have a chance at another significant snowstorm for the middle of the following week.
