The cold is sticking around for at least the next seven to 10 days and possibly longer. Nothing record-breaking, just a longer-than-average spell of below-average temperatures for the first half of the month.

It is going to snow on Monday, and it’s likely going to be the largest snow we’ve seen in two years. But remember, southern New Jersey saw zero inches of snow last year - so technically it will be the largest snow in two years, but it will be anything but historic.

The storm will traverse the country in the coming days. Most of the meteorological parameters to see big snow in this part of the country do not come together. The system will stay to our south and race off of the Maryland/ Virginia beaches and continue out to sea.

This type of “flat” storm path allows for a light and consistent snow in a cold pool of air. The majority of the snow that will fall looks like it will be in southern areas of New Jersey. The further north you go, the less intense and more scattered in nature the snow will fall limiting accumulations.

Everything hinges on the exact track, and we are still watching the system evolve.

Enjoy the upcoming weekend. A nice mix of sun and clouds for both Saturday and Sunday with morning lows in the low-20s and daily highs in the low-30s. Cool for this time of year, but winter-like.
