extreme weather

Severe storms in the Mississippi and Alabama have produced strong winds, hail and tornadoes and, tragically, news reports say the weather has resulted in 28 deaths overall, according to accuweather.com.

A 30 degree swing and covered windshields and slippery roads are the latest gift given to us by a winter that just won't believe it's spring here in Monmouth and Ocean Counties.

The way this winter played out it should come as no surprise that snow is in the forecast for the first week of spring.

In my mind, and in the minds of thousands around the Garden State this was one brutal winter, but when you look at the stats, it doesn't really rank up there at all.

Maybe for just a minute last weekend, you allowed yourself to think it might be over. If you thought Winter 2014 might be winding down, you thought too soon.

The polar vortex, the culprit for much of the bitter cold we have been forced to endure this winter is coming back for another visit.

It's another winter weather morning all over Monmouth and Ocean Counties, and we'll be dealing with it all day long.

Snow has been on us or right around the corner just about the whole winter, and the next event is Wednesday night into Thursday morning. So how bad will it be?

It seems like 100 years ago, but it was actually a mere 6 months ago that the heat index in New Jersey literally made it feel hotter here in the Garden State than it was in Death Valley.

We wake up in Monmouth and Ocean Counties to the results of yet another winter blast. So just how bad did this storm hit us?

Every time it snows around Monmouth and Ocean Counties, it seems to bring "those drivers" out onto the streets.

Every time we are expecting substantial snow, as we are today, I wonder which storms are considered the worst in New Jersey history, and many people point to the Great Blizzard of 1888.
