Cold spell from 12/15/17 – 1/9/18

Western New Jersey received a wintry mix of precipitation on Monday as forecast. The precipitation started out as some freezing rain and sleet and eventually transitioned to some light snow that amounted to a coasting to 1″. Stewartsville received 0.4″ of new snow.

High temperatures in western New Jersey have remained below freezing since Christmas! Today will be the first day since then we will make it above the 32 degree mark! It may even feel balmy outside!

If it doesn’t feel balmy today it certainly will on Friday with high temperatures are forecast to be in the 50’s. The warmth will be accompanied by some rain. It will turn sharply colder for the second half of the weekend into early next week but it won’t be as severe as the last cold outbreak and will not last as long.
