As I write this article to you, it's Friday, January 18, the night of our second snow day thus far. Our first snow day this season was back in November when we had a hard snowfall with accumulations approximately 5-6 inches. Our second snow day occurred overnight with accumulations of about less than an inch. As I ate breakfast that morning, I was able to enjoy homemade corn muffins with a few flakes falling from the sky. However, this past weekend, parts of New Jersey, mainly Northern New Jersey, saw approximately half a foot of snow. On the other hand, parts of Central New Jersey saw a mix of snow and rain.

Keeping an eye on the weather the past few days, my town was lucky enough to miss the snow completely. We only received heavy amounts of rain over the course of 12 hours. Many counties in North Jersey received the accumulations that were expected. In Buffalo and Rochester, New York, people saw as much as 18 inches of snow!
