How much snow fell locally during South Jersey's biggest snowstorm in years? A few different measurements tell the story.

HADDON TOWNSHIP, NJ — Plenty of snow and ice fell across Haddonfield and Haddon Township on Sunday, but how much did we get?

North Jersey got the most snow in the state, with 17 inches recorded in Stockholm and Branchville — both in Sussex County.

But South Jersey endured its greatest snowstorm in years, with a wintry mix thrown in there.

So how much snow did Haddon Township and Haddonfield get? A few different measurements tell the story.

The National Weather Service has not posted an official measurement for Haddonfield. But Haddon Township recorded at least 7 inches, according to the NWS.

However, that total was measured late Sunday afternoon, while the snowstorm was still underway. Several nearby towns had higher measurements Monday morning, including Cherry Hill (9.3 inches) and Somerdale (9.3 inches).

Those are the highest official measurements. But it appears that Camden County received 10 to 10.5 inches of snow, according to NWS estimates.

Here are the latest snowfall totals in Camden County, according to the National Weather Service:

Looking ahead, the NWS is warning about dangerously cold temperatures arriving this week with several nights featuring single-digit temperatures and wind chills below zero.

"Some record lows and record low highs may be in jeopardy later this week," the NWS said Monday. "The stretch begins tonight, with a Cold Weather Advisory in place for the entire area. It's quite rare to get a stretch of temperatures this cold for so long."

The cold weather advisory is in effect from 7 p.m. Monday to 10 a.m. Wednesday, when wind chills could dip to 7 below zero — cold enough to cause hypothermia if precautions aren't taken.

"Use caution while traveling outside," the advisory says. "Wear appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves."

Even-colder wind chills are possible Wednesday night through Friday night, the NWS said.

HADDONFIELD, N.J. - Steady snowfall coated roads and lawns in Haddonfield on Saturday, creating slick conditions but also delivering a wintry backdrop for the town's annual Winterfest celebration and its signature Souper Bowl competition.

Salted streets helped melt the snow as residents and visitors ventured out, warming up with steaming cups of chili served by local restaurants participating in the fourth annual Souper Bowl Saturday. Thirteen restaurants competed both outdoors and indoors in the event, which benefits Cathedral Kitchen, a soup kitchen in Camden.

"I couldn't script it better with the snow, the ice sculptures downtown, and of course the Souper Bowl," Mayor Dave Siedell said.

Proceeds from the chili competition support Cathedral Kitchen while also raising awareness about its mission, according to the organization.

"Not only the funding from the event, but also just the awareness that it brings to the community here, telling people about what we do in Camden," said Noreen Flewelling of Cathedral Kitchen.

The Souper Bowl is one part of Haddonfield's Winterfest, an annual event celebrating the season with shopping, food and ice sculptures. This year, unlike last winter, cold temperatures worked in the event's favor.

"Last year, one of our ice sculptures collapsed because it was too warm so I'm not unhappy at all with the weather," Siedell said.

Despite the snow, crowds bundled up and filled King Street and Kings Court, where businesses showcased ice sculptures ranging from soda kegs to a winter wolf. Umbrellas dotted the sidewalks as shoppers moved between stores.

"I think if anything, it's enhancing it. I've seen a lot of umbrellas. I'm glad it's snow and not rain. A picture perfect weekend that matches the event," Siedell said.

Local businesses said Winterfest was designed to draw people downtown during a typically quiet time of year.

"We originally came up with the idea to drive traffic to the downtown on an otherwise sleepy January weekend," said Bob Hochgertel of Kings Road Brewing Company.

Hochgertel said the benefits extend beyond increased foot traffic.

"It brings the community together, but it's also for a good cause," he said.

Winterfest continues Sunday in Haddonfield, with additional snow in the forecast. Town officials said they welcome the weather and expect it to provide an appealing backdrop for live ice sculpture carvings.

HADDONFIELD, NJ — Haddonfield's Fourth of July festivities will not feature a fireworks show. But the borough will celebrate the nation's 250th birthday with a new nighttime spectacle.

Haddonfield will celebrate the holiday with a drone show on July 3, hours after the borough's 250th Birthday Parade.

Both will be among several events taking place in the borough this year to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States of America's founding.

Haddonfield traditionally gathers for fireworks on July 3, but the show was canceled last year because of financial issues. Read more:

A drone show has been scheduled in its place this year, providing a safer alternative to fireworks, according to borough officials.

The gathering will also feature a block party. A location is to be determined.

The parade is scheduled for 10-11 a.m. July 3 on Kings Highway.

Haddonfield launched a new website highlighting borough events for the nation's 250th anniversary, which will take place throughout the year.

The first event is "A Stitch in Time" on March 15, when The Historical Society of Haddonfield will provide a brief history on 18th century needlework and display more than 20 samplers.

The borough will still hold the annual parade, along with a new Independence Day event.

HADDONFIELD, NJ — Haddonfield will not host Independence Day fireworks this year, the borough announced Tuesday.

The community typically gathers for fireworks on July 3. But the annual tradition is canceled for this year because of "financial constraints," according to an advisory on the borough's app.

Haddonfield still plans to hold its annual 4th of July Parade, followed by a new event: a Borough Block Party featuring live music, interactive games and food trucks.

"We looked for a way to continue bringing the community together after the annual parade," the borough's announcement said, "and we are excited to host a Borough Block Party following the parade."

Haddonfield's Fourth of July festivities are sponsored by the Haddonfield Celebrations Association, a volunteer nonprofit. The group distributed a mailer to residents in April in a bid for donations to keep the borough's holiday traditions alive.

"Our beloved traditions rely on generous contributions from residents like you," the organization said. "To keep the magic alive year after year, we need your help. Every little bit helps keep the traditions going strong for generations to come!"

The Haddonfield Celebrations Association also sponsors the Halloween Parade, along with the Tree Lighting Ceremony and Santa Parade.

The 4th of July Parade starts at 10 a.m. on Independence Day in Downtown Haddonfield, followed by the Block Party from 12-3 p.m.

New Jersey is packed with some of the nation’s best downtowns.

Across the Garden State, compact towns with under 50,000 residents are quietly hosting some of the most walkable, character-rich Main Streets in the region. Each one lined with historic buildings, Mom and Pop shops, and restaurants worth planning a trip around.

WorldAtlas recently evaluated towns across New Jersey to find the best main stretches in the state. Below are nine towns where Main Street is worth the trip alone.

1. Princeton

Main Street: Nassau StreetPrinceton isn’t just about the university. In fact, the downtown is an attraction of its own. Nassau Street runs along the edge of the historic school, blending brick storefronts, cafés, bookstores, and green parks into one walkable powerhouse. It’s part campus, part town center. They work in tandem to bring one of the best main streets in the state.

2. Ridgewood

Main Street: East Ridgewood AvenueNestled between tree-lined sidewalks and historic storefronts—a train station anchored in the center of it all—is East Ridgewood Avenue. Ridgewood’s downtown is equal parts storybook and metropolitan, with dense shopping blocks and top restaurants packed into a highly walkable footprint that keeps foot traffic steady all day.

3. Red Bank

Main Street: Broad StreetRed Bank pairs arts and culture with the vibrance and serenity of the Jersey Shore. Broad Street anchors a compact downtown filled with theaters, boutiques, galleries, and plenty of dining. It’s the rare town where a matinee, shopping spree, lunch, and a waterfront walk fit into a single afternoon.

4. Lambertville

Main Street: Bridge StreetLambertville’s history-rich nature is the draw. Its narrow streets trace the Delaware River, lined with antique shops, galleries, and cafés that reward a slow wander throughout the town. Lambertville is especially story-like—quiet during the week and lively during the weekend. No matter the crowd or day, it remains a beautiful sight year-round.

5. Cape May

Main Street: Washington Street MallCape May has a specific ordinance in place to preserve its main strip. Instead of traffic, Washington Street Mall offers a pedestrian-only corridor framed by Victorian architecture, specialty shops, and restaurants—just blocks from the sandy beach. It’s less of a downtown strip and more of a picturesque coastal village.

6. Haddonfield

Main Street: Kings HighwayLike many of the historical towns on this list, Haddonfield’s downtown blends colonial-era charm with modern retail and dining. Brick sidewalks, centuries-old buildings, and nearby green spaces give Kings Highway a timeless feel, while restaurants and boutiques keep it thriving into the modern age.

7. Collingswood

Main Street: Haddon AvenueCollingswood punches well above its weight. Haddon Avenue is packed with destination dining, local shops, and frequent street festivals, all just 15 minutes from Philadelphia. It’s family-friendly, food-focused, and built for endless strolls within its borders.

8. Westfield

Main Streets: East Broad Street & North Avenue WestWestfield’s downtown is large, organized, and packed with things to do. These intersecting streets support everything from diners and bakeries to live music nights and farmers markets. Add a train station and dense housing, and you’ve got a recipe for a seriously good downtown.

9. Cranford

Main Street: North AvenueCranford’s downtown follows the Rahway River, giving North Avenue a scenic edge. Brick storefronts, creative studios, sushi, and small parks keep things local, while community events and walkable blocks make it feel connected and complete. It’s got all the makings of a city—shrunk down to size.

Stuck on the bench with two early fouls, Ethan Lin was pretty much a spectator in the first half.

An All-State guard headed to the University of Pennsylvania, the senior barely broke a sweat before heading to the pine.

A lot of teams might have become hesitant when their top player is forced to sit so quickly. Not this Montgomery squad. It showed that there are plenty of others ready to step up.

Despite a slow start Saturday, those in green and gold stepped on the gas in the second quarter and never looked back.

Scoring 16 unanswered points in the decisive frame, No. 9 Montgomery turned an early deficit into a convincing 60-36 victory over Haddonfield in the 13th annual Jimmy V Classic at Cherokee High School.

“The biggest takeaway from today is Ethan Lin had two points, was in foul trouble and we still ended up scoring 60,” Montgomery coach Kris Grundy said. “The fact that other guys stepped up … It’s a very, very unselfish team.”

With Lin on the bench, Montgomery (4-0) leaned on its talented group of underclassmen to continue its unbeaten start to the 2025-26 season.

“It’s just trusting each other, following the game plan, trusting our coaches with what they want us to do,” Simborski said. “They had a great scouting report for us, so just trusting. Trust is the biggest thing.

“It’s about winning games. We’re trying to go back to Rutgers and win it.”

Coming off a sensational season in which Montgomery reached the Group 4 state final, Lin is going to be the focal point of every opponent. Whether facing a box-and-one, double-teams or any other type of defensive pressure, the Cougars’ supporting cast is more than confident it can deliver if Lin is limited in what he can do on a given night.

“We have other players on the team, too, that can score and get us a win,” Mallavarapu said.

With Lin on the bench, Montgomery trailed 12-5 after the opening quarter. But as they finally settled in, the Cougars started to execute at both ends of the floor and Haddonfield simply had no answers.

Montgomery took a 26-18 halftime lead, stretched the advantage to 23 heading into the fourth and led by as many as 26 in the fourth.

Chris Beane led Haddonfield (1-2) with 10 points and six rebounds. Jack McKeever added eight points, while Mike Douglas collected four points, three steals and three blocks. Mike Mooney chipped in seven boards.

“There’s going to be games where teams face guard Ethan, they go box-and-one, they put two guys on him and now all these guys know we’re good,” Grundy said. “They’re trusting each other, and in high school basketball that’s huge.”
