New Jersey s snow drought could come to an end this week, as forecasters are warning that a coastal storm could bring significant snow to much of the state.
But who will see snow as opposed to plain old rain and how much will fall remain open questions at this point.
Confidence is growing that a powerful nor easter will track offshore on Wednesday, lashing New Jersey with strong winds, heavy precipitation and possible coastal flooding, according to the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly.
An area of high pressure to the north will lock in cold air over the Northeast, creating the potential for snow. But with temperatures hovering around the freezing mark, the exact path of the storm will be critical to determining which parts of the state see snow and which see a mix or just rain, forecasters said.
