- Winter Storm and Sleet in New Jersey, January 20 to 21, 2001A vigorous upper air disturbance coupled with a low pressure system that was intensifying east of the New Jersey coast produced heavy snow across the northern third of New Jersey and a wintry mix of sleet and snow across the rest of the state.
- Winter Storm and Heavy Snow in New Jersey, January 19 to 20, 2002A weak low pressure system that moved through the Gulf Coast States and exited quickly off the North Carolina coast had sufficient moisture and came close enough to the state to give the northern half of the state snow and the southern half of the state a wintry mix of snow,…
- Winter Storm and Sleet in New Jersey, February 18 to 19, 2000Snow spread across New Jersey between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. EST on Friday, February 18th. As warmer air moved in aloft as the day progressed, the snow changed to sleet and then to rain.

- Winter Storm and Sleet in New Jersey, March 4 to 6, 2001An intensifying low pressure system brought a protracted wintry mix of precipitation to central and southern New Jersey on the 4th and 5th and to Northwest New Jersey on the 4th through the 6th. Precipitation began as rain across southwest New Jersey around daybreak on the 4th.
- Heavy Snow and Sleet in New Jersey, February 5, 2001An intensifying low pressure system that helped generate its own cold air produced heavy snow across most of the northern half of New Jersey and some accumulating snow across southwest New Jersey.
- Sleet in New Jersey, March 17 to 18, 2002A wintry mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain occurred across much of New Jersey west of the New Jersey Turnpike from the afternoon of the 17th through the afternoon of the 18th.

- Sleet in New Jersey, January 9, 2002A wintry mix of sleet and light freezing rain overspread much of northwest New Jersey during the morning of the 9th. Precipitation amounts were generally less than five hundredths of an inch, but untreated roads became very slippery.
