N.J. weather: 2 shots of light snow in forecast as cold air lingers
A plume of frigid air from Central Canada is expected to stick around New Jersey for the next several days, and it could play a role in bringing light snow showers to our region, forecasters say.
One batch of snow may fall in southern New Jersey Sunday night, and it could leave a very light coating on the ground, the National Weather Service said.

Forecasters are also keeping an eye on an Alberta Clipper system — a fast-moving storm coming from the Alberta region of Canada — that could get close enough to New Jersey and the New York City suburbs to drop some snow Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
Parts of southern New Jersey could get a light coating of snow Sunday evening, Dec. 1, and other areas of the state could get light snow showers in the middle of next week, according to weather forecasters.National Weather Service
“With the cold airmass in place, light snow is expected across much of the region, with a rain/snow mix a bit closer to the coast and NYC,” the weather service’s New York regional forecast office said. “Precipitation should be light with this system and little to no snow accumulations are expected at this time.”
Forecasters from AccuWeather say a huge dip in the jet stream, a narrow band of strong currents in the atmosphere, is allowing cold arctic air from Canada to drop as far south as North Carolina. The big dip is pushing temperatures in many central and eastern U.S. states about 5 to 15 degrees below normal for late November and early December.
The cold air is expected to stick around New Jersey this entire week, with daytime highs only reaching the upper 30s to low 40s and overnight lows dropping down into the upper teens to low 20s.

Some parts of Sussex, Warren and Burlington counties got as cold as the upper teens Saturday morning, according to temperature data from the Rutgers NJ Weather Network.
Among the coldest spots were Walpack (18 degrees), High Point Monument (19 degrees), Oxford (19 degrees) and Woodland Township (19 degrees).

New Jersey
From Belmar to Asbury Park, here’s why NJ goes all-in for St. Patrick’s Day
I almost take the celebration of St. Patrick’s Day and the celebration of my Irish heritage for granted. I said almost.
I am fortunate to ride in New Jersey’s largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the Belmar-Lake Como St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which will now run on Saturday, March 28, 2026. It was postponed because of the Jersey Shore snowstorm that dumped a couple of feet of snow.

I am also fortunate to serve as the Grand Marshall in 2015 and continue to ride in the Asbury Park St. Patrick’s Day Parade, which will step off this Sunday, March 8, 2026, at 1 p.m.
New Jersey 101.5 (Canva Edit)
Just those parade experiences alone are filled with so many people lined up to catch the parades, the pipes and drums, the marchers, along with having fun and enjoying the experience.
2024 Ocean County St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Seaside Heights
There are many other parades up and down the Jersey Shore and all over New Jersey celebrating the wearing of the green.
There are a considerable number of exceptionally good Irish pubs, bars, and restaurants sprinkled all over the Garden State. A fan favorite is Irish dancers and Irish music at big venues like the Count Basie in Red Bank.
Highlands St.Patrick’s Day parade
All those festivities and the celebration have made New Jersey the number one state in the country for celebrating St. Patrick’s Day.
According to new data released by BETMGM, the company analyzed Google Trends search data across categories such as alcohol and drinkware, green clothing, costumes, party supplies, Irish artists, Irish music, and miscellaneous topics over the past three years.

The data showed that New Jersey still grew with celebration intensity. As a result, New Jersey claimed the top shillelagh in the country. Indiana, Iowa, Georgia, and Illinois fared well, too.
I found it interesting that Irish music has gained the biggest leap in popularity with an 82% of all states compared to the previous two years.

Alcohol and drinkware are on the down trend along with green clothing and costumes on a national basis.
New Jersey likes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, it is a celebration of unwinding, having a little fun and enjoying the atmosphere of the great New Jersey tradition. Enjoy, see you in the parades.
