As Spring 2024 Starts, Is One More Snow Day In Wyckoff's Future?

WYCKOFF, NJ — Spring began at 11:06 p.m. Tuesday night — the start of the vernal equinox — and despite some meteorologists talking about the possibility of one last snowstorm around this time, the forecast now calls for heavy rain over the weekend.

The winter of 2023-2024 saw two major snowstorms that closed many Bergen County schools, one in January and one in February. The latter didn't really whip up until after 7:30 a.m. on Feb. 13, misleading some into believing that forecasters and school officials had called it wrong. But once it began, the snow continued for much of that day.

Wind Gusts, Then Snow Showers, Then Rain

In the first few days of spring 2024, there may be very brief periods of snow showers in Bergen County, including in the wee hours of Saturday, forecasters say.

And Wednesday night, wind gusts of up to 23 MPH may increase the dangers of fires.

But the real story is the rain — and as much as two inches may fall on Saturday and Sunday, according to the latest forecast.
