The much anticipated main attraction began at 11:54PM with high winds and heavy rain which lasted no more than 5-7 minutes. No lightning observed, no thunder heard. Less gusty winds continued. Sunny & chilly at report time. |

Finally some significant positive movement for NJ on the US Drought Monitor map. The Monmouth County panhandle of this station, as well as Middlesex to our north have improved from 'Moderate Drought' status to 'Abnormally Dry.' The far northern areas of the state have seen the 'Severe' and 'Extreme' drought areas reduced by about half. Hoping that a season of robust April showers will prevent a loss of this foothold, and even provide additional improvement. |

Intensity varied from light to moderate before ending by 6:50 PM. Driveway and road remained snow free. Depth of 1/10” and core SWE measurements taken immediately after snow ended. Trace amount remaining on lawn at morning report. |

Rain began about 9:30PM lasting not more than an hour. Weather radar indicated that the bulk of this passing storm divided as it approached from the west, with the more concentrated areas of precipitation passing to the north and south of this station. |

The bright, almost-full moon and Jupiter high in the ESE were in sharp focus along with Saturn and Venus low on the western horizon around 6:30PM. Mostly blue skies with scattered cirrus after sunrise have trended to building clouds at report. Bright sunshine, chilly with touch of breeze, 25°/46%. |

| 2026-02-24 | 8:30 AM | 0.08 | 1.2 | 0.22 | 18.0 | NA | | Snow continued, very light at times, following yesterday’s obs time, tapering off significantly after noon and finally ending just before 2PM. Event total 18.7”(17.5”+1.2”). The storm’s accompanying winds created drifts up to 23” and low areas of 12” or less. Likewise, the spread between the melted gauge catch and snowboard SWE results was significant for both days, not unexpected due to the nature of the wind-driven snowfall.

| 2026-02-23 | 8:30 AM | 1.70 | 17.5 | 1.70 | 17.5 | NA | | Light rain continued through yesterday's report time, with snow mixing in about 1:45PM, changing over to all snow between 2-3PM. 2.5" accumulation by 6PM, 7.5" by 10PM. Snow fell amidst strong-blowing NNE winds through the afternoon and night. Conditions at report: 31°/93% with light snowfall and diminished winds. Following measurements also taken at normal 8:30AM report time to best of ability: 17.5" on snowboard (which agrees with average depth measurements taken around the yard.) Spare outer cylinder was pushed straight down until bottoming on board - this yielded a 1.70" melted core. Gauge catch yielded 1.11". (MG note: opted to use 1.70" core melt for "gauge catch" rather than 1.11", as seems more reasonable as daily precip. This may, however, not reflect any rain/melting snow that occurred at the onset of the event. OST 2/23/2026 10:35 AM) |

Two-day total for prior rain event is a much needed 0.46". Just when the lingering snowpack has finally disappeared down to a trace, Old Man Winter plans to cash in again in order to make up for the several previous mild northeast winter snow seasons. |

Strange enough, several periodic checks of weather radar during this period showed no activity in this station's area. Jupiter and several of the brighter stars, although hazy in appearance, were visible overhead intermittently during this period indicating the spotty thinness of the overhead cover while snow was falling. Sunny with gusty winds at report time, 19°/49%. New snow depth 4/10ths, very light and powdery. |

| 2026-01-26 | 8:30 AM | 1.15 | 4.6 | 1.24 | 7.0 | NA | | Snow continued through 8:30AM report yesterday, changing to a mostly sleet mix just after noon. Precip ended before daybreak. Adding today's 4.6" to yesterday's 2.1" board depth yields 6.7" for this station's event total. The steady NE wind throughout yesterday caused drifting of accumulated snow, which by a quick depth check around the lawn this morning averaged between 6.0" to 8.0". (OST 1/26/2026 9:40 AM) |
| 2026-01-25 | 8:30 AM | 0.15 | 2.1 | 0.22 | 2.0 | NA | | Snow began around 3:40AM. 15°/88% at report time with snow falling moderate-to-heavy on a NE wind. Snow itself is light and powdery. More of a spread noted between the .15 gauge catch and .22 core sample melted values this time around, possibly attributed to the wind component. |
| 2026-01-24 | 8:30 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | T | NA | | Mostly cloudy with a very hazy sun peeking through the thinner eastern cloud cover. 10°/48%. Hearing rumors of some overnight snow. |

Intensity trailed off gradually around 8:45PM with all traces of falling snow ending by 10:20PM. Snowboard depth and core measurements taken at that time to sidestep any overnight settling. Sunny & calm at obs time, 19°/77%. |
| 2026-01-18 | 8:30 AM | 0.22 | 0.8 | 0.21 | 0.5 | NA | | First period of snow began around noon yesterday, lasting about 2 hours. Measurements taken shortly after, yielding 3/10ths accumulation on the board with melted core of 0.09". Board cleaned off at that time. This first accumulation diminished partially throughout the day. 2nd period began in the predawn hours with visible accumulation beginning just after 5AM. 32°/97% with snow falling at 8:30AM observation, medium-to-heavy at times. Measurements taken precisely at OBS time yielded 5/10ths depth on board with a core SWE of 0.12". The two added snowboard core SWE's resulted in a total of 0.21", fairly close to this morning's melted gauge catch of 0.22". |

The most recent US Drought monitor map of 06JAN indicated conditions of moderate drought expanding somewhat across NJ. Hoping that the recent rain will work to help put this trend in reverse. |
