Weather

It is so poetic that February, a month of wintry weather and frigid temperatures, ends on a pleasant note across New Jersey.

February has been such an extreme month of wintry weather across New Jersey, it seems almost poetic that it will end with sunny skies and warming temperatures.

Wintry impacts from New Jersey's next two storm systems will be relatively minor: Problems are more due to timing than snow totals.

Most of New Jersey measured the blizzard in feet not inches, as parts of the state saw an entire normal winter season's worth of snow fall within 24 hours.

It is still a snowy, windy morning across New Jersey, but clearer weather conditions will finally prevail by Monday afternoon.

Here we go! A potentially historic winter storm begins Sunday, with over a foot of snow and blizzard conditions forecast for much of New Jersey.

Snowfall rates may exceed 2" per hour in NJ during Sunday-Monday's storm, combining with 50+ mph wind gusts to make for dangerous, near-whiteout conditions.

A nor'easter — a powerful coastal storm — is expected to pass just off shore from Sunday into Monday, delivering heavy snow, some rain, and wind to New Jersey.

There are not many "pleasant" stretches of weather in this forecast, but at least truly "cold" weather stays away from New Jersey until next week.

One batch of spotty showers will clip northern New Jersey Friday night, and another wave of light rain/snow will push into southern New Jersey late Sunday.

Do you have outdoor plans on Saturday? I sure hope you think long and hard about how to keep warm, as brutal, bitter, dangerous cold returns to New Jersey.

If you don't live in one of NJ's coastal counties, don't expect much (if any) snow from this weekend's storm. Just some clouds and wind.
