December 23, 2008 Weather: Cold Then Warm

Yesterday's weather in here Jersey City was brutally cold, but today, not as much. The start of the day will be cold, but nowhere close to the temperature yesterday. The temperature this morning is in the low-20's but it will climb up to low-30's later this afternoon.

Although I can see lots of sunshine as of writing, the skies will be partly cloudy as the day progresses. The blistering windchill is finally gone, but it is still cold out there. Watch out for the ice from the last snow storm, it is slippery, so be extra careful when walking outdoors.

Enjoy the rest of the day and take advantage of this seemingly good weather condition.

December 20, 2008 Weather: Colder Flurries, Then Storm Part 2

After the snow storm that hit almost the entire Tri-State area yesterday, we are now going to experience colder flurries today in Jersey City. The weather temperature this morning is between 23 degrees Fahrenheit and 29 degrees.

Although, it seems quiet and calm right now, there will be another snow coming tonight until tomorrow (Sunday, December 21, 2008). 1" to 3" of snow is expected in the Northern New Jersey and New York. A WINTER WEATHER WATCH has been raised for tonight until tomorrow afternoon.

In the meantime, a Special Weather Statement for Hudson, NJ....

December 14, 2008 Weather: Not As Cold As Yesterday

If yesterday was cold in Jersey City, today - not as much. The weather temperature this morning was in the high 30's, but it will climb to mid-40's as the day progresses and will remain the same until the evening.

Right now, it is sunny. It looks gorgeous outside -- partly cloudy. Tomorrow (December 15, 2008), weather forecast says we will reach the 50's.

December 13, 2008 Weather: Back to Cold

It's back to coldness here in Jersey City. The weather temperature went down to within 20 degrees Fahrenheit, especially at night.

It was generally sunny, and there were no traces of "leftover rain" from couple of days ago. Despite the bright day, it was a little breezy which didn't help keeping us warm.

The weather forecast for tomorrow (December 14, 2008) says it's not going to be as cold as today. I sure hope it is correct.

December 09, 2008 Weather: Cold Start Then Mild

It was a cold start today in Jersey City, with temperature in the 30's. But as the day progressed, the temperature climb to 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and right now, it is in the low 50's. The weather forecast was correct: it turned mild today.

It was definitely cloudy and became darker in the afternoon. Later in the evening, there was a shower, but it didn't persist.

The weather forecast for tomorrow (Dec. 10, 2008) says temperature will be in the 60's, but it will also rain, not only in Hudson County but also in New York City. News said there "might" be a chance of "Severe Weather Alert" so stay tuned.

December 08, 2008 Weather: Cold Weather Continues

The cold weather here in Jersey City continues. The temperature is in the 30's but the wind breeze makes it much colder than normal.

Tomorrow (Dec. 09), weather forecast said that it is going to rain. We'll see. ;)

December 07, 2008 Weather: Sunny But Windy!

The day starts cold in Jersey City, but the weather will improve as the day progresses. Temperature was in the 30 degrees this morning, but will climb in the 50's in the afternoon. This is type of weather that I like! Not too cold, not too hot!

Yup, it's not gray today as the sun is out. But for how long will it last?

November 23, 2008 Weather: Okay Sunday

Sunday in Jersey City is okay. Weather is tolerable, despite the temperature still in the 30's. Compared to previous days, today is relatively "warm". It's not raining, but it's not really sunny. As a matter of fact, it is mostly cloudy today, with a little bit of wind. Perhaps we'll get colder as the day progresses.

November 22, 2008 Weather: Cold but Sunny Saturday

Today, we have a sunny Jersey City Saturday, but the weather still remains cold. Chilly is the exact word. Temperature stays below 40 degrees Fahrenheit and I believe it will stay that way until tomorrow.

Residents wore gloves, if not, their hands stays inside their pockets. Hoods and hats are on, to keep the heads warm. Hopefully, the weather tomorrow is not as cold as today or as the past few days.

November 21, 2008 Weather: Another Chilly Day

Just like yesterday, today is another chilly day, which is below the normal temperature. Weather forecasts say that cold weather will continue for the rest of the week. Temperature in Jersey City will not climb and will stay under 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Thanks to windchill, going out of the house will require few layers of clothing!

Well, as long as it doesn't rain, I can stand it. ;)

November 19, 2008: Still Cold

Yes, the weather is still cold outside. It is also amazingly sunny in Jersey City, which was deceiving if you were just looking out from your window. Once you step out of the house or apartment, you'll definitely feel a huge difference in temperature.

The temp today is around 30 degrees Farenheit. When it got darker, the temperature dropped even more.

Hope your day was good.

November 18, 2008 Weather: Morning Flurries, Wintry Feeling

I saw flurries this morning on my way out to work.Weather forecasts in Jersey City said it will snow, but it didn't. It was cold, with temperature in the 30's, as Jersey City residents covered themselves up with layers of clothes and coats to warm up. The mild wind definitely didn't help.

I heard tomorrow's weather is going to be much colder.
