New Jersey's Highest Single Day Snow Totals Throughout History

How do you feel about the winter? More specifically, how do you feel about the snow?

When I was a kid the idea of a snow day was better than anything; an extra day off of school to play outside in the snow with my friends? Awesome!

As an adult, the idea of snow fills me with frustration; I'm still going to have to brave the elements to get to work, I'll have to worry about shoveling the snow off my sidewalk, and I have to worry about how much snow is falling on my roof.

A snow day doesn't exactly have the same feeling now as it did 20 or 30 years ago.

We've seen less and less snow in recent years though; this year in particular we've only gotten a dusting to an inch or so near the shore.

A few years ago we did see a pretty massive nor'easter that dropped somewhere in the neighborhood of a foot of snow.

That was impressive, but it's not something we see too much anymore.

If you look back through Jersey's history though, we have some pretty significant single-day snowfall totals.

For example, there was one day back in 1947 when Monmouth County saw a whopping 28.4 Inches of snow, that's insane!

And that's not even the biggest single-day snowfall totally Jersey's seen, there are actually ten days throughout New Jersey's history that had some seriously massive snowfall totals.

They happened all over the state, did your hometown make the list?
