Our winter temps are heading down to South Carolina, according to a newscast meteorologist who used temperature chart averages to align this N.J. winter with climes far to our south. February is also well on its way to the Carolinas.

As to last month, a Rutgers University report pegged it as the warmest January in 100 years. The same report described this winter’s snowfall as “meager in the north to non-existent further south.”
