Steady snowfall on Saturday produced between 2 and 5 inches.
A winter storm brought several inches of snow to most of North Jersey on Saturday. The weather system, referred to as Winter Storm Freyr by The Weather Channel, was expected to drop 2 to 5 inches throughout the region. Snow began falling in most areas by late morning and started to taper off late Saturday night. The storm reduced visibility in some areas and caused treacherous travelling conditions. Skies are expected to clear on Sunday with temperatures in the low 30s. Initially forecasters were unsure if Freyr would track into Northern New Jersey or veer out toward the coast but their prediction was confirmed on Friday. According to a report on NJ.com, state Department of Transportation crews early Saturday morning pre-treated highways …

Northern New Jersey to see all snow and no ice or rain from fast-moving storm, expert says.
A low-pressure system originating from the Gulf of Mexico headed for the Northeast will make for a snowy Saturday in northern New Jersey, according to the National Weather Service. The fast-moving storm that has deposited precipitation in other parts of the country will likely produce 2 to 4 inches of snow in Bergen, Hudson, Passaic, Union and Essex counties Saturday, with areas to the north and west—Morris, Somerset, Sussex and Warren counties—likely seeing less, meteorologist Lauren Nash said. “We’re still somewhat uncertain about the absolute track of the storm,” Nash said, “but it seems very likely northern New Jersey will get just snow and no rain or ice.” The snowfall is expected to begin around 7 a.m. Saturday, Nash said, and should…
Track of storm still undetermined; snow could accumulate to several inches.
Just 30 miles could mean the difference between no precipitation and several inches of snow this weekend for Northern New Jersey, according to the National Weather Service. As a low-pressure system works its way to the northeast out of the Gulf of Mexico, freezing temperatures could create some severe weather and “plowable snow” Saturday into Sunday, National Weather Service meteorologist Joey Picca said. As of Thursday afternoon, however, the exact track of the storm was still uncertain, Picca said, and Northern New Jersey will have to wait to see if the system heads toward the coast or straight through this portion of the state. “It’s about a 30-mile difference (east or west),” Picca said. “Depending on that track, it could make a world …

Spring teases with yet another snowstorm in the forecast.
Mother Nature may have the last laugh on Friday, April 1. She’s about to pull a prank, and watch out, it’s snow joke. Forecasters are calling for snow beginning Thursday night into Friday. Seriously. Up to 4 inches of snow is expected in Millburn, and much more in the Northwest, where Mother Nature is planning her biggest punch. “Yes, it could be a bit of an April Fool’s joke to see snow on daffodils yet again,” says Dr. David A. Robinson, the state’s climatologist. Spring’s just barely two weeks old and so far it’s been a tease: A day in the upper 70s, two snow days, and temperatures persistently 10 degrees or so below average. “Such is often the balancing act of the climate system,” said Robinson, chairman of Rutgers University’s …

Everyone's a little snow weary, especially when everyone's home all the time.
“Mom if they call another snow day tomorrow, I will officially be in love with the Board of Ed,” my daughter declared tonight. The snow is beautiful, it’s peaceful and I love how quiet the world is when it snows. I love the way our yard looks magical with snow laden trees, and truth be told I'd much rather have snow than sleet or rain. “If they call another snow day tomorrow I will weep,” I replied. The first big storm we had Christmas weekend my children were in the yard until they could no longer feel their extremities, building snowmen, digging tunnels and trying to make a snow fort. Red-cheeked and damp, they’d shuck their snow clothes at the door and drink hot chocolate before going out again. Watching them out the window (because, …
