Here’s when to expect NJ’s last snowfall of the 2024-25 season

The resounding theme of Winter 2024-25 in New Jersey? It was cold. And quite busy in the weather center, through January and February. But with every winter storm event limited in geography or snowfall, we ended up with very little to show for all the cold air and the drama.

It will take a while to tabulate seasonal totals, but I suspect northwestern and southeastern New Jersey will end up reasonably close to normal for total snowfall. In the middle, for most of the state, it was not quite a "total dud" of a season, but definitely an underperformer.

Throughout the winter, New Jersey saw a total of 10 storms that produced at least 2 inches of snow accumulation somewhere in New Jersey. That is the most since the winter of 2020-21, which brought 12 such events.

The Vernal Equinox and official start of Spring is just around the corner. And I am asked the question daily: Are we done with snow for the season?

The answer: Probably. Although accumulating snow remains possible in NJ through April and even early May, the chance of a "big" snow storm is low going forward.

Let's dig a little deeper into some newly updated statistics about when "snow season" typically ends in New Jersey. To be clear, I am not giving an actual weather forecast here. This is a historical, climatological analysis of when the transition from winter to spring has happened in the past.
