Winter Weather Wakens

SUSSEX COUNTY, NJ – Winter weather has made its first showing, though its only Nov. 14.

Temperatures were cooler yesterday, with highs in the low 40s with overcast skies. As night fell, light sleet-like precipitation began to fall around the Northwest New Jersey area, which later turned into snow. Though the snow did not stick to road and cement surfaces easily, the light dusting has remained on grassy surfaces, decks, and rooftops.
