For the winter of 2013/14 overall, season-to-date it ranks as the 6th snowiest on record. If we get some more March snow, it could still break the record. At an average state-wide temperature of 30.7 degree, this winter ranks as the 34 coldest on record. But it’s not anywhere close to the cold winter of 1917-1918, which had an average temperature of 24.4 degrees.
According to the latest report from the Office of the New Jersey State Climatologist, February 2014 was the 35th coldest February since 1895. Temperatures in the state ranged from –18 degrees (that’s cold!) to 67 degrees. The report doesn’t say, but I wonder if 85 degrees is the largest temperature swing of any month ever. February 2014 was the 20th wettest (rain and snow) and 7th snowiest on record. So if you thought the weather in February was miserable, you have some scientific data to back you up.
