While New Jersey experienced some cold, windy days, a statewide soaking storm and a late-month southern snow event, overall January 2010 was not too memorable in the weather department. The temperature averaged 31.3°, which is 0.7° above the 1971-2000 average and ranks as 50th warmest (tied with 1930 and 1980) since statewide records began in 1895. Precipitation averaged 2.56", which is 1.38" below normal and ranks as 34th driest (tied with 1968 and 1971). All but the extreme southern counties received below-average snowfall.
The largest precipitation (rain and melted snow) totals were found in Morris (3.92" at Washington Township, 3.84" in Jefferson Township), Sussex (3.53" in Hardyston Township), Cumberland (3.46" in Vineland) and Cape May (3.41" at Upper Township) counties. On the low end, Washington Township in Mercer County received 1.70", while North Arlington (Bergen) had 1.71", Westfield (Union) 1.73", Wantage (Sussex) 1.88" and Upper Deerfield (Cumberland) 1.91". The 11.5" of snow in Middle Township (Cape May) took top honors for monthly snowfall, followed by the 9.6" in Hamilton Township (Atlantic). Only 0.4" of the white stuff accumulated in Fair Haven (Monmouth), 0.5" in Wall Township (Monmouth) and 0.9" in Franklin Township (Somerset).
