| 2026-02-13 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Nice moderating trend in temperatures kicks in starting tomorrow. Overall a dry pattern continues. Rainfall for the coming week looks to average between .25" and .50". The .50" if we're lucky! |
| 2026-02-12 | 8:00 AM | T | T | NA | NA | NA | | Few periods of light flurries and sleet late yesterday morning into the early afternoon. Barely coated the ground in some spots. Cylinder was dry this morning.
Overall the dry weather pattern continues. Maybe some needed rainfall mid next week?? |
| 2026-02-11 | 8:00 AM | T | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Just some very very light freezing mist and drizzle overnight. Just a few drops in the cylinder. Slightly slick underfoot. Mildest morning in quite a while. Obs temperature was 31 degrees. |
| 2026-02-10 | 7:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 9.0 | NA | | No precipitation to report. Dry pattern continues. Snow depth unchanged since I last reported snow depth on 2/7. Average is 9" with 100% coverage. Less in sunnier / south facing locations and more in shadier / north facing locations. Average of 10 measurements yielded 9". |
| 2026-02-09 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Another ice cold morning. Overnight low of 3. Still cold 20's for today but moderation starts tomorrow! |
| 2026-02-08 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Wickedly frigid day yesterday, overnight last night and ongoing this morning. Overnight low -3 with a howling wind. Winds still gusty this morning but not quite as bad as yesterday and last night. We start to pull out of the freezer starting Tuesday. Still cold but closer to seasonable. Deep snow pack remains 2 weeks after the big storm. Just too cold to go roaming for measurements. |
| 2026-02-07 | 8:00 AM | 0.03 | 0.7 | NA | 9.0 | NA | | Had some light snow for a couple of hours last evening in the hours before mid-night. Woke up at 4:00 this morning to near blizzard conditions in a heavy snow squall as the Arctic front was moving through. Temperature was 21 degrees. Not sure exactly how long that squall lasted. Woke up again at 7:00 and winds were howling and the temperature had fallen to 7 degrees. Currently 5 degrees at 8:30 as I enter this report. Melted total in the the cylinder was .03", that was the easy part of the observation. Snowfall was very difficult to measure with the howling winds and the light fluffy snow. New snow was blown clear in some spots. Found a more sheltered location on the south side of the house and .70" was best measurement. Total snow depth averaged from 10 measurements was 9". More shaded north facing locations and less south facing locations. Still 100% coverage. |
| 2026-02-06 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Frigid Arctic blast coming in later today and lasting into Monday. Show showers and snow squalls will usher in the frigid air mass. Gradual moderation in temperatures as we head through mid and late next week, still on the cold side though.
Remains to be seen how much precipitation and in what form we see by next weekend. |
| 2026-02-05 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Dry last 24 hours. Another very frigid morning with an overnight low of 11 along with a gusty breeze. Bitter Arctic blast for the coming weekend. Moderating next week! |
| 2026-02-04 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | Another very cold morning. Overnight low of 21.
There may have been snow showers or flurries yesterday based on radar but I was not at home to see them and the cylinder was dry this morning. We are back in a dry pattern. One last bitter shot of Arctic cold coming up this weekend then we should start pulling out of this persistent and at times extreme cold by mid and late next week. |
| 2026-02-03 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No precipitation last 24 hours. We are back in a dry pattern. Still cold but not nearly as harsh yesterday afternoon. Actually felt ok standing in the sun. Another bitter Arctic blast for the weekend! |
| 2026-02-02 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 10.0 | NA | | Ventured out to get a snow depth reading this morning. Still bitter cold and windy. Snow depth 10.0" That is an average of 10 measurements. Readings range from just over 11" on north facing shaded locations and just about 9" in open sunnier locations. Average depth 10". |
| 2026-02-01 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No precipitation last 24 hours. Another bitter cold morning with an overnight low of 0.3. January precipitation: 2.76". January snowfall: 21.7". Snowfall season to date: 34.8". December was a cold month but the overall dry pattern persisted. |

| 2026-01-28 | 8:00 AM | 0.02 | 0.2 | NA | 13.0 | NA | | Frequent show showers of light to moderate intensity yesterday. A fresh .20" snowfall yielded .02" melted.
Snow depth is 13". Not from any melting just from settling and compacting. Was frigid yesterday with highs only in the teens. Bitter cold this morning with an overnight low of 4. Coldest recorded in the state this morning was -17 at Walpack in Sussex County. |
| 2026-01-27 | 8:00 AM | T | T | NA | 14.0 | NA | | Trace of snow last 24 hours with some flurries and snow showers late morning and early afternoon yesterday. Snow depth from yesterday remains unchanged at 14". With cold temperatures and a slightly crusty top it will be around for a while. |
| 2026-01-26 | 8:00 AM | 1.41 | 10.7 | NA | 14.0 | NA | | Will edit this report by noon to include melted total.
New snowfall last 24 hours = 10.7". Storm total snowfall = 13.5". Snow depth = 14". Drifts on north side of house up to 24" or even a little more in spots.
The 13.5" of new snow is my best call. There was some compaction from a period of sleet yesterday afternoon and at times during the evening. I did not take the final measurement until this morning and some settling likely took place overnight. Wind also caused some blowing in the area of my snow board. New snow depth from this current storm at 8am was 12" even.
EDIT: 1:15 PM TO ADD 24 HOUR MELTED TOTAL of 1.41". EVENT TOTAL MELTED = 1.55". |
| 2026-01-25 | 8:00 AM | 0.14 | 2.8 | NA | 4.8 | NA | | Snow began (as best I can tell) between 4:15 and 4:45.
Moderate snow at obs. time. Temperature at obs time 6.5 degrees. New snow to report is 2.8". Melted total of .14". Current snow depth 4.8". There was 2" on the ground prior to new snowfall. |
| 2026-01-24 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 2.0 | NA | | Bitter cold morning. Winds have mostly died down but still breezy enough to make for a wind chill of around -10. Overnight low of +1. Waiting on the snow for tomorrow.
Thinking along the lines of 7-11" along the I-78 / I-80 corridors. Amounts in excess of 12" most likely confined to NW Sussex and NW Passaic Counties on northward. Current snow depth with 100% coverage of 2". |
| 2026-01-23 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 2.5 | NA | | Bitter cold air mass poised to move into the area today and tonight along with gusty winds. Snow scheduled for Sunday and Sunday night with significant accumulations, especially for northern half of the state. Snow depth took a hit yesterday with temperatures into the mid 40's. Still 100% coverage with an average depth of 2.5". |
| 2026-01-22 | 8:00 AM | T | T | NA | 4.5 | NA | | Temperatures are more pleasant this morning. Obs time temperature was 31. Ventured out into the yard to get depth measurements. With 100% coverage the depth is 4.5". I had to come back to edit this report at 10:00 a.m. I had forgotten that when I looked outside last night it was snowing very lightly and the ground had a dusting. I forgot this morning because the cylinder was dry and the dusting had disappeared. |
| 2026-01-21 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | NA | NA | | No precipitation to report but it is frigid out there this morning. Overnight low of 6 here. Reached -12 at Walpack. |

| 2026-01-06 | 8:00 AM | T | T | NA | 0.5 | NA | | Trace of snow last 24 hours with a few periods of flurries. Never enough to dust the ground. Snow depth holding steady with 80% coverage and .5" average depth. Cloudy skies and cold temperatures did not allow melting yesterday. Should lose all but the mounds by the weekend with milder temperatures and some rainfall. Some sunny intervals mixed in between will also help get rid of remaining snow pack. |
| 2026-01-05 | 8:00 AM | 0.00 | 0.0 | NA | 0.5 | NA | | No precipitation last 24 hours. Still cold. Snow depth down to .5" with 80% coverage. Most south facing locations just a trace to bare ground. Shaded areas still around .5". |

Snow depth essentially unchanged last 24 hours. Still 100% coverage with 1" on average. A little less in the sun and a little more than 1" in the shaded locations. Still cold. Moderation in temperatures starts on Tuesday and should reach well into the 40's to low 50's NNJ by mid to late this coming week. Yay! |

| 2026-01-01 | 8:00 AM | 0.08 | 1.7 | NA | 1.7 | NA | | Based on radar a very heavy snows squall moved through my area just before sunrise. It must have been very intense. Sorry I missed it. Melted total = .08". New snow 1.7". Snow depth 1.7". Snow measurement and depth was a little variable due to stronger winds that must have accompanied the squall. Snow was very light and fluffy so there was some blowing and drifting. |
