Be prepared for the frigid cold!!!!!!! This is the one thing I cant get with in NY....and hopefully its not snowing when your there unless you like that type of thing. But otherwise youll have a wonderful time!!!!!
When I was there in December of 2007, it never snowed... but it did rain a LOT, which I love anyway, so I had a fine time. But it never snowed when i was there. Kinda a bummer, because I was hoping I'd get to see some snow.

I hate the snow(especially since I used to have to go to work in it or school which was a major trouble I guess if I was on vacton it wouldnt matter then).....lol...but I love NY at anytime of the year.
There's plenty of public transportation to New Jersey, either bus or train, depending upon where you want to go in NJ.
There are also some great places in Westchester, Long Island, and CT that might be worth exploring for a day trip. Many areas have public transportation as they are major commuter routes.
There are also a number of bus coach day trips from the Port Authority.
What sort of day trips are you seeking? That can help to narrow down some recommendations.

We always get a ton of snow upstate, interesting that it differs so much down there.
Statistically, February is the snowiest month, mostly because February to early March is the most likely time of year to get Nor'Easter storms. Because the overall totals are highly dependent on the number and intensity of East Coast storms, the seasonal snowfall total can vary.
"Normal" snow in NYC tends to be 1-3 nuisance inches that is typically very slushy and usually caused by low pressure off the coast. The big snowstorms (6+") are almost always the result of a more intense East Coast storm. The actual snowfall totals for an event can vary greatly across the metro area, with the areas North and Northeast of the city often getting more snow. This is because the low pressure systems to the east over the ocean rotate in a counter-clockwise direction and dump bands of snow. If the low is slightly further east (which happens less often), the city will get more snow, which can total more than a foot on rare occasions! It is difficult for forecasters to accurately predict the position of the storm, so we often get false alarms as well as some surprises.
Where you live Upstate, different factors (continental low pressure systems and lake effect) are the primary snow-makers. Here it is much more influenced by the ocean.
Sorry... maybe this was too much information. I'm a bit of a weather geek
