New Jersey - Weather forecasts

[Guilherme]

We´re making all our travel preparations, such as "trying" to guess what the weather will be at March in NJ. I´ve looked in weather.com for historical averages... but nothing is as good as a forecast from someone who lives in the area.

So, will it be could in March? Will it snow? What are the hints that you guys can give us?

dude, in new jersey, you never know what the weather is gunna be like, this year we had it go from liek 60F out and in like 3 days it was 0F and -10 with the windchill. It's like the lottery, "Hey, you never know"

[Ashley Weed]

Indeed, in the Mid Atlantic area it is very unpredictiable. Especially at that time of year - we have had blizzards, and it has been 60+F degrees. I would watch the weather online, and see what the patterns are, and just plan as the time approaches. You should be able to plan on cold mornings and nights no matter what the days may bring.

think cold - early march, perhaps 40's (F) but, could be 30 and snowing, could be 60 as my fellow jersey folks said. i would prepare for cold to be certain.....

[Aignam]

You'll need heavy jackets, lightweight jackets, gas masks and other various means of oxygen supplements. ;) Just kidding about the gas masks and all, they won't help. Our air here is too potent for them to work. :D But do plan for diverse weather, from cold to moderate.

May I suggest that next year you choose the Arizona Regional. Not only is it a great regional, but the weather is also great. Last year we had to stop the competition at one point so that everyone could run outside and see a cloud float by.

PS We supply the sun, you supply your own sunblock!

We chose J&J regional because of the transfer and travel facilites (near NYC), plus we know a lot of teams and have a lot of friends, and plus team 1382 will be there to help us and we´ll be there to help them.

But in the next years we intend to go to other places.

A final question, what are the odds of snowing in the first week of march? Percentage?

[briholton]

I'd lay odds against snow, perhaps 3:1. Anthony, from team 25, I don't know about your air in North Brunswick, but mine in East Brunswick is very nice. New Jersey is a great state, and anyone who dumps on it, better be ready to deal with me :mad:

[Nick Mac]

Everyone is forgetting that this is the northeast! It could be anywhere from -10 to 75!!! I'd suggest dressing warm though. You're better off being warm than cold.

It's hard to predict what the weather is going to be in a months time. By the way the North East has been lately, I would suggest dressing warmly, looking at temperatures probably between 40F-60F, but it's still a month away. This is based on how the winter and weather have been recently though.

40-60 that would be a heat wave where I am. I will deffinately be bringing shorts and t-shirts.... And maybe a few pairs of pants just in case. :yikes:

hehe, Jon, on a side note, you guys ready for the snow we're gonna get tonight?

[pras870]

You want to know what the weather in March in New Jersey will be like?

The weather on any day in NJ is directly related to the digit of pi which corresponds to the date on which this said weather is required. :]

Actually, like people above said, it could be cold, and there is a small chance of snow (we have actually had snow as late as April, if i remember right). However, knowing March, there will be plenty of wind. It will be cold. Heavy jackets are recommended, along with gloves and hats (just in case).

And btw, I second what Mr.Holton said - NJ is truly amazing - We have a town named Brick right next to a town named Wall. And we have Double Trouble.

you can get a 15-day forcast here: http://wwwa.accuweather.com/adcbin/public/local_index_11to15day.asp?zipcode=08601&metric=0&partner=accuweather

if u check in like 3 days you can get the weather for when the regional is...i don't know how accurate it is though...atleast it's an idea :)

The 5 day forecasts are starting to come out. We're finally having a spring-like weekend. During the J&J, the temps will probably be around 50F during the day and dropping into the 30'sF during the night. There is a "disturbance" in our midwest now that will probably bring some rain for the competition days, maybe a little snow if the temps drop enough. Bring a jacket.
See you soon.

in case any of you haven't left yet for the regional and happen to be checking out CD this fine morning, it is raining. and it is supposed to rain all weekend. oh, and at sovereign bank arena there is STILL ice down on the floor for hockey. the field is placed over the ice and a cardboard-like floor surface. if you are going to be spending a lot of time in the pits, and ample time on the field you may want to bring an extra pair of socks because after a while the ice gets to your feet. as well, that means it's going to be chilly in the arena, so dress appropriately =)
