The Monthly Weather Roundup focused on January’s weather patterns, particularly the significant snowstorm and persistent cold.
Dave Robinson, New Jersey State Climatologist, discussed the January 25th storm, which brought snow, sleet, and freezing rain across the state, with snowfall totals ranging from 8 to 12 inches in Monmouth County.
He noted that while the storm was impactful, it could have been more severe if not for the cold air that limited snow accumulation.
The cold weather dominated the latter part of January, with Dave explaining that while it was cold enough for ice skating and cross-country skiing, it wasn’t record-breaking.
He emphasized that despite the recent cold spell, New Jersey has been warming over time, with the coldest days becoming less extreme.
The discussion also covered the state’s ongoing drought conditions, with January precipitation being below normal, and the impact of snow and ice on water availability.

This Saturday’s game vs. Norfolk State is muuuuuuch drier than last weekend’s game. Enjoy the sunshine, but it’ll get toasty in the North End Zone. Trust me, I’ve had season tickets there for years. Go RU!
