Winter 2015

Light accumulations of snow and ice will be possible in North Jersey late Monday, but a transition to all rain by Tuesday will keep the wintry impacts limited.

As we are very quickly approaching the middle of December, we're actually looking at temperatures going up in the next couple of days, not down.

The holiday season is a time to entertain guests. But, sometimes we have to deal with uninvited guests. No, I'm not talking about in-laws, I'm talking about bugs and rodents. When the weather turns colder, the invaders look for somewhere warm to take shelter. So, which pests are the most irritating in the Garden State?

That photo was taken yesterday. October 28th. Three days before Halloween. But to retailers, "three days before Halloween" is just another way of saying "three days closer to Christmas".

As we're sitting here at the end of October on a day that got into the low 70s, it's hard to think about snow. But like it or not, it'll be here at some point.

As some areas of Ocean County may be dealing with low temperatures close to freezing over the weekend, we definitely know at this point that the comfortable late Summer and early Fall weather is over. But the big question is, what do we have on tap for Winter?

Every day, I get emails about new music, events, and promotions. The one I just got surprised me a little bit - "77 Days Until Christmas!"

Friday evening was one of the worst drives I've had this winter. The heavy, wet snow made the Parkway a slushy mess, and the fact that only one lane was marginally clear made the drive home a white knuckle, low speed stressfest. And then I came home to what you see above.

As I write this, there's exactly three and a half hours of winter left. But the season is certainly going out with a bang here, with accumulating snow falling as I type.

They're the annual scourge of drivers everywhere - after winter, our roads and highways end up looking like the surface of the moon, with potholes just waiting to ravage your suspension.
