This was the coldest morning of the winter so far, and quite possibly for the entire winter. The low reached 7 degrees at my weather station in Allamuchy Township, Warren County, NJ. This could end up being the low for the winter as there are no signs of extreme cold over the next two weeks, and then we are into March. If this does indeed end up being the low for the winter, this would be the warmest low temperature I have ever seen. Traditionally we have had at least one day every winter here when the low was below zero. I could even imagine the low single digits as being reasonable, but 7? That is about 10 degrees warmer than usual. This is truly an unbelievably warm winter. I remember when I was a kid how there were many years when it didn’t snow much at all, just like this winter, so the lack of snow is not all that unusual at all, but what is unusual is the warmth. Even though it didn’t snow much when I was kid here in NJ, it was at least cold. It would rain and be in the mid 30’s. That was normal, but not rain and 50’s in January and February, or even 60’s. They put a no ice fishing sign up on the lake in front of my home a few months ago. It is looking like a joke this winter though as there hasn’t been enough ice to fish on it the entire winter, and 90% of the winter there hasn’t been any ice on it at all. None! The warmth is truly remarkable…
If you didn’t already read the article, click here. Yes, January 2020 was the warmest January in recorded history on planet Earth. Yikes…
The pattern of the entire winter so far, of warmth for 4 or 5 days, then one or two day of cold, followed by more warmth will likely continue through at least the end of February….
It will be nice through Monday with highs in the upper 20’s to mid 30’s today and the 40’s tomorrow and Monday.
Tuesday clouds will increase in the morning, with showers developing in the late morning and afternoon as a disturbance and cold front approach from the west. Highs will range from the upper 30’s to low 40’s in Northeastern PA to the low to mid 50’s in Central NJ.
Wednesday will be variably cloudy with highs in the upper 30’s to mid 40’s as a cold front passes through our area.
Thursday will be variably cloudy with a chance of a snow squall, a snow shower, or a flurry, as some Lake Effect moisture could reach our area. Highs will be in the 20’s to low 30’s.
Friday through next Monday, February 24th will be nice, but with some increase in cloudiness next Monday. Highs will rise from the low to mid 30’s Friday, to the mid to upper 40’s next Saturday, and the mid 40’s to low 50’s next Sunday and Monday.
Next Tuesday, February 25th, through next Thursday, February 27th, are looking variably cloudy with highs in the mid 40’s to low 50’s next Tuesday and Thursday, and the upper 40’s to mid 50’s next Wednesday.
Next Friday, February 28th, will be variably cloudy with highs in the 40’s.
Have a fantastic day!
