Farmer's Almanac

Curiosity is sparked among residents as snowfall last week hints at more wintry weather ahead at the Jersey Shore.

It's been really, really warm here for fall in New Jersey. I'll take this weather all year long, but I know we have a lot of snow lovers out there and you're excited to see if the Garden State will have more than another 3to 6 inches this year again.

Snow and ice! Doom and gloom! There are clues about what's ahead this winter in NJ, but too many forecasters (and fakers) stretch the science way too far.

The almanac itself claims "80 percent accuracy."

Fall means cooler temperatures. Here's when the area could see the first frost of the season.

Lokotas Argentine Empanadas in Tuckerton, NJ delights customers with their authentic Argentinian pastry turnovers.

The extended winter forecast already has folks buzzing.

One topic I find a lot of you at home love to talk about is "weather". Yes, you love to talk sun in the summertime, blue skies in spring, colors in fall, and snow in the winter...it's what's great about living in a part of the nation that has all four seasons, and for many, they love to hear what each is going to bring.

Before I get too far ahead of myself here, yes, it's still summer for another week.

This week in Ocean County has been pretty wacky weather-wise. On Monday, we almost hit 70, we barely hit 40 on Tuesday and Wednesday, tomorrow night got into the 20s, and today we're back into the 50s. So what does that mean for what we can expect as we get into winter?
