What Are New Jersey’s Chances Of A White Christmas This Year?

Christmas is just around the corner in New Jersey. Will we have a White Christmas this year?

Long-range forecasts are a tricky thing. Our Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow is a guy who likes to work with data, and extended forecasts are something he considers a slippery slope, pardon the pun.

So, the big question is whether or not any part of New Jersey has a chance of snow close enough to the holiday to make this year a White Christmas.

Our first search on Accuweather was for Sussex since northwestern New Jersey is almost always the best bet for snow.

The verdict? Snow flurries are possible on Christmas Eve Day, and cloudy skies for Christmas Day.

We pulled Freehold's extended forecast to cover Central New Jersey, and although Christmas Eve Day might bring a touch of ice, no snow is in the forecast for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

And for South Jersey, we went right to the southern tip of the state, Cape May. There is also a chance of a bit of ice late, but no snow in the forecast for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.

Our Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow will keep his eyes on the forecast as the holiday gets close and will be the first to tell you if any flakes are on the way.
