Snow lovers in New Jersey have been spoiled for the last two years. Blizzards, multiple major snow events and record seasonal snowfall totals have become something people have almost come to expect given the state’s recent history. But the party may be over.
Experts forecast New Jersey will return to a more typical winter in the coming months, with seasonal snowfall totals falling back to average levels, which mainly hover in the range of 15 to 35 inches from south to north.
The National Weather Service, Accuweather and Hackettstown-based weather consulting firm Weather Works all predict temperatures and precipitation levels at or near normal for the 2011-12 winter.
“For snow lovers, it will probably be enough to keep them happy but it’s not going to be like it was during the last two years,” said Accuweather expert senior meteorologist Jack Boston. “I think the areas that are really going to take it on the chin are places further inland.” More in Star Ledger.
They can’t accurately predict tomorrow’s weather and we should listen to this? I don’t think so.
What is the weather for this coming summer will it be very hot or maybe the winter in 2 years
I cant remember where I saw it, but last year I saw the exact same prediction for the winter and by december there was more than 15-35 in. If they get it right it was by mistake!!!
boy i sure do hope they’re right. snow is nice and pretty but when you have to get places it’s a real drag. maybe the experts aren’t 100% accurate with this nature news but we could only wait and see. i pray for an easy winter so we can get closer to spring again and get out of the cold.
Farmer’s Almanac says there will be a snowstorm the week of Dec 17th and a blizzard the week of January 31st.
Otherwise a milder winter than the last two years.
Usually a bit more accurate than the local news.
If everyone else buys a snow blower like I just did, you can almost guarantee it won’t snow at all..
Im gonna make sure Chaverim is on speed dial in my cell phone. Thanks for the help last winter guys.
#5, you are right. The farmers almanac s almost always right on the money and yes if we all buy snow blowers it probably wont snow. lol
lets not get ahead of are selves, it will snow as much as the Abishter wants
there so clueless!!! i predicted every blizzard 5 days out, unlike the “experts” with one day out… remember Friday before dec 26ths blizzard……
we will most likly have lots of snow again in new jersey along the coast we may have mixing issues…. ys
thats because I spent 800bucks on a brand new snow blower to dig myself out this winter. so you can thank me if we get no snow….and if we do i will be there for you ….for a fee of course……
