A La Nino, by the way, is a weather pattern that involves unusually cold ocean temperatures.

So, if we have a weak La Nino this year, it's not going to be looking good for a snow outlook.

Predictions For Winter In New Jersey This Year

There are several different predictions floating around according to NJ.com, but they all say pretty much the same thing.

Most of New Jersey will see average or above-average temperatures this Winter, and a more below-than-average chance of snow.

NJ.com reports that the Farmers Almanac holds out hope though reporting that NJ will see storms with above-average snowfall.

According to the science-based models though, it's not looking to likely that the Jersey Shore will see snow, North Jersey though could see consistent snow coverage throughout the year.
