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).

Woman fatally struck by NJ Transit train in Ramsey

A woman was fatally struck by a train in Ramsey on the morning of March 8.

The unidentified woman was hit by the train at 10:49 a.m., just west of the Main Street crossing near the main Ramsey station, said John Chartier, director of media relations for NJ Transit.

Rail service was suspended in both directions between Allendale and Port Jervis but has since resumed, with delays of up to 30 minutes.

The train came from Port Jervis and was heading to Hoboken, and 150 people were on board at the time, Chartier said.

NJ Transit police are leading the investigation. No additional information about the circumstances of the death was available.

New Jersey E-ZPass stickers could arrive soon

New Jersey E-ZPass stickers could arrive soon

Out with the old, in with the new. E-ZPass is getting an upgrade.

New Jersey Turnpike may be saying bye-bye to the E-Z Pass device as they assess some new technology for the electronic toll paying service.

According to News12, the agency is testing a new sticker with a digital chip on their own vehicles that would replace the white plastic transponder mounted to windshields.

“We are planning to put the stickers in Turnpike Authority fleet vehicles for an informal test run. That will happen pretty soon,” said Tom Feeney, an authority spokesperson. “If there aren’t any issues, we plan to make them available to NJ E-ZPass customers.”

Officials say the stickers could be rolled out to drivers by the end of the year if the test run is successful.

This new method would potentially save the authority millions of dollars since the sticker tags don’t require batteries.

So far Massachusetts is the most recent state to change. On March 1 drivers received a small E-ZPass sticker to put on their windshield.

The new sticker transponder has an RFID chip embedded in them that’s read by the overhead toll gantries.

The current transponders, which MassDOT gives out to new customers for free, costs the state $6.70 each while the new stickers cost 55 cents, Massachusetts Department of Transportation Administrator Jonathan Gulliver told WBUR.
