Extreme NJ Weather In 2018: Here's How The State Got Slammed

New Jersey has had stormy years before, but 2018 may have been the tip of the iceberg.

One after another, a series of storms came and whacked the state, leaving thousands without power and millions of dollars in damage.

Some storms were even deadly; one person was killed by a power line that fell during one of the many nor'easters that passed through New Jersey this year.

The year began with something called a "bomb cyclone" that left at least a foot of snow in many areas. But after a relatively mild start to the year, it wasn't until at least four nor'easters and snowstorms arrived during the late winter and early spring that the state did indeed feel the wrath of extreme weather. There was even a storm in early April.

Here are the major storms of the year and what happened:
