Punxsutawney Phil is feeling the heat for wrongly predicting a short winter, but Milltown Mel comes out smelling like roses after predicting six more weeks.
It’s snowing today. It snowed a little over a week ago. It’s also been cold, below freezing, and there is no end in site, and while the internet is ablaze with anger toward Punxsutawney Phil, the famous prognosticating groundhog, for predicting a quick end to winter last month, some locals aren't so surprised. That’s because it seems that our very own Milltown Mel got it right when he predicted six more weeks of winter during a ceremony in the borough last month. It was the second year in a row that the Milltown groundhog got it right, and Jerry Guthlein, Milltown Mel’s close personal friend, said the critter is pleased that he’s not in the same hot water as his cousin from the north. Making matters worse for the critter, last week an …

The central New Jersey area may receive a few inches of snow tomorrow.
We're in for snow this weekend, according to the National Weather Service (NWS), which has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Saturday for central and northern New Jersey. They are predicting snowfall starting here by mid-morning and continuing to as late as 7 pm, which they say may dump up from 2 to 4 inches in the area. A winter weather advisory means that the snow may cause travel problems, particularly on bridges and overpasses, which tend to ice up before regular road surfaces. Temperatures should be from the upper 20s to below freezing, the NWS advised, with visibility reduced to about half a mile at times during the snowfall.

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) announced a new weapon in the annual fight to clear snow and ice from state highways and keep motorists safe throughout the winter. The Department is introducing Global Positioning System devices in many trucks and supervisory vehicles to provide storm managers with constantly updated information on the precise location of the fleet of hundreds of NJDOT and contractor plow trucks and salt spreaders. Along with cell phone and email transmissions, the GPS data will arm managers with real-time information about roadway conditions and the progress crews are making in their assigned areas. “We are excited about this new technology and anticipate that it will improve the teamwork among our …

The National Weather Service is predicting light snowfall for the area this weekend.
In 2010, at least the winter weather had the common decency to wait until it was actually winter to arrive. Remember this? But if the latest forecast for East Brunswick true, we're in for an early preview of winter this weekend as a bit of snow looks to be headed to the area. Tonight's forecast calls for a chance of rain, mainly after 1 a.m. with a low of around 36 degrees and wind between 5 and 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30 percent, with new rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible, according to the National Weather Service. Saturday morning the forecast calls for rain and snow, likely before 11 a.m. and then rain between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. A mix of rain and snow could arrive after 5 p.m. Saturday with a high …

Road crews worked from early Sunday morning until the end of the week clearing roads and intersections.
Public Works crews were still working late into the week after a blizzard dropped almost 20 inches of snow on the township and forced the closing of all township offices on Monday. The blizzard, which began in the early afternoon Sunday, had dropped more than 17 inches of snow by 8:30 p.m. and clean up crews found themselves working until almost the end of the week. "My preparations actually started on the 21st and 22nd," said Emergency Management Coordinator Austin Kosik. "Last Tuesday and last Wednesday I started getting advanced notice of the possibility of getting some snow. As the week continued the probability went up, and then on Saturday we got a notice that we were going into a winter storm warning and getting 12 to 18 inches." A…
