Western Jersey Weather

We had more impressive snow showers yesterday. One went by in the late morning and slowly sank to the south. I thought we were done for the day as there was nothing else to the north. In fact the skies cleared somewhat and the temperature went up a little and melted most of the snow on the ground.

The almost out of no where a persistent snow band setup and trained over my area for a couple of hours

I picked up 1.1” of new snow. I also had 0.6” on the ground in the morning.

This morning, due to compression and evaporation, I only have about 1” left on the ground. There are some icy spots on sidewalks.

We should only have scattered flurries today. We might even see some periods of sunshine. Temperatures will remain in the 30’s today as well as into the weekend. Quite weather pattern with next chance of precipitation next Tuesday afternoon.

Long range weather maps continue to look “interesting” the days before Christmas. Time will tell if we have a Whte Christmas or not.

We picked up 7/10” of snow in the snow showers that primarily visited the area yesterday afternoon and evening. We also some some additional snow showers overnight. This morning there was 6/10” of snow still on the ground. More importantly it was below freezing and the driveway was snow covered. My road was clear – I suspect the excellent road department spread salt yesterday.

Look for today to be similar to yesterday. Partly to mostly cloudy, brisk with scattered snow showers. High temperatures should be in the mid 30’s. This weather will continue into the weekend but we will loose the snow showers. Next chance of precipitation is next Tuesday at this point.
