Snow Drought: Here Are Next Chances For White Stuff In Northeast Snow Drought: Here Are Next Chances For White Stuff In Northeast
Snow Drought: Here Are Next Chances For White Stuff In Northeast Pockets of light snow fell in parts of the region to start off the weekend on Saturday morning, Jan. 14. Some areas saw a light coating forming on the grass and reduced visibility on roadways. (See the first image above from the National Weather Service.) It was "nuisance" precipitation at most, but it's still worth noting during a winter marked by a lack of snowfall. So far this winter, most major cities in the Northeast have barely seen any accumulation at all.  In fact, New York City is on track to break a 50-year record for the most consecutive snowless days. It's now been 306 da…

Rockin' The 70s: Mother Nature Streams Springlike Temps In NJ, PA You'll swear spring has sprung when temperatures this weekend reach -- and even break -- 70 degrees in parts of New Jersey and especially Pennsylvania, an area weather expert said.

BIG Warmup: Temperatures Finally Climb This Week, Tri-State Weather Expert Says Another frosty night followed by a couple of unseasonably cold days holds a nice surprise at week's end, a leading area weather expert said Monday. For one thing, a tropical storm expected to emerge off the Southeast coast isn’t likely to head our way, despite what others may claim, meteorologist Joseph “Joestradamus” Cioffi said. For another, temperatures are expected to rise considerably, he said. “Front and center today is the next cold front that will be moving through this afternoon and evening,” Cioffi said. “This is going to be another night of frosts and freezes mostly away from w…

Nor'easter: Sleet, Freezing Rain Combo – Not Snow – Will Be The Problem In North Jersey Nor'easter: Sleet, Freezing Rain Combo – Not Snow – Will Be The Problem In North Jersey
Nor'easter: Sleet, Freezing Rain Combo – Not Snow – Will Be The Problem In North Jersey A combination of sleet and freezing rain could cause serious trouble when a hit-and-run Nor'easter clips North Jersey on Thursday, the area's local weather expert says. Rush-hour driving will get treacherous in some areas late Thursday afternoon into the evening, said meteorologist Joe Cioffi. So motorists need to stay alert and build in extra time getting to their destinations, he said. “This is especially true since the last time anyone drove in winter precipitation was back in March,” Cioffi said. “So everyone will likely be a bit rusty.” Be sure to have your ice scraper handy – and dr…
