...INTENSE SNOWFALL RATES SLOWLY MOVING EASTWARD THIS MORNING...

SNOWFALL RATES OF 2 TO 3 INCHES PER HOUR WILL CONTINUE ACROSS
THE REGION THIS MORNING. THE HEAVIEST BAND OF SNOW CONTINUES TO
SLOWLY MOVE EASTWARD AND OVERSPREAD NEARLY ALL OF NEW JERSEY. SOME
REPORTS OF 4 INCHES PER HOUR SNOWFALL RATES HAVE BEEN RECEIVED
ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHERN NEW JERSEY THIS MORNING. ALSO, SEVERAL 
REPORTS OF WHITEOUT CONDITIONS CONTINUE TO BE REPORTED ACROSS THE
REGION AS NORTHERLY WINDS GUST BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH AT TIMES.

EXTENSIVE BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW WILL CONTINUE AS A RESULT OF 
THE GUSTY WINDS, ESPECIALLY ACROSS OPEN AREAS. THIS WILL REDUCE
THE VISIBILITY DOWN TO NEAR ZERO ACROSS MANY AREAS, AND MAKE
TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE. THE SNOW COMBINED WITH THE
GUSTY WINDS HAVE DOWNED TREE LIMBS AND POWER LINES ACROSS MANY
AREAS THIS MORNING. IT IS BEST TO STAY OFF THE ROADS AS THE SNOW
CONTINUES TO FALL AT A MODERATE TO HEAVY RATE.

WIND CHILL VALUES WILL BE IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA
OUTLET FOR FURTHER UPDATES ON THIS POTENT WINTER STORM.
