Amid predictions of winter storms on the east coast, New Jersey residents may be wondering if January’s cold spell will bring blankets of snow to their backyards.
The answer: it may depend where you live.
Portions of South Jersey, including the Jersey Shore, are under a Winter Weather Advisory from late Sunday night through Monday night. Snowfall totals could end up between 2 to 4 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
The predicted snow totals were lowered from earlier estimates of 5 to 10 inches. The advisory also covers east central and southeast Pennsylvania.

Northeast New Jersey and New York City could get a dusting, with light snow predicted late Monday morning and into the afternoon, according to one National Weather Service.
That’s according to one model, but “it’s very possible the snow stays south and not much snow falls at all,” the weather agency reported.
Snow, sleet and freezing rain are some of the likely feature attractions, as well as temperatures that are expected to hover around the freezing mark during the day, and as low as 20 degrees or the upper teens Monday night, according to Bryan Ramsey, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Upton, New York.
In affected areas, commuters should prepare for the possibility of slippery and hazardous road conditions during Monday morning and evening commutes.

The weather event, dubbed “Winter Storm Blair” by The Weather Channel, began on the West Coast Friday and been making its way eastward all weekend — but veering more to the south, as it follows the route of the jet stream.
