But we all know deep down in our hearts that every once in a while, New Jersey gets punished with an unbelievable amount of snow, so our guard is always up.

There is good reason to always be concerned. As a great example, let's take a look at the five worst one-day snowfalls the Garden State has ever experienced, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA).

They listed the highest one-day snowfalls in each county and we have listed the top five totals. Remember these are the highest totals in each county. Some counties may have multiple major storm totals, but only their highest is on this list.

#5 Back on the day after Christmas in 1947, Rutherford in Bergen County was walloped with a Christmas gift of 29.1 inches of snow in a single day.

#1 (T) Sussex County also had a 30-inch one-day total. Theirs happened way back on January 6, 1905. Of course, Sussex County is no stranger to big storms, as we've seen over the years.

Hopefully, we won't add anything to the list this winter. We'll just have to wait to see what happens.
