...A BURST OF SNOW THIS MORNING PRODUCING AREAS OF SLIPPERY
TRAVEL AND REDUCED VISIBILITIES...

AT 842 AM, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR ALONG WITH
SURFACE OBSERVATIONS SHOWED AN AREA OF STEADY SNOW MOVING ACROSS
CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY. THE SNOW WILL COME DOWN
MODERATELY FOR A FAIRLY SHORT TIME IN SOME LOCATIONS, AND THERE
HAVE BEEN SOME REPORTS OF SLIPPERY CONDITIONS. THE AIR
TEMPERATURES ARE IN THE TEENS TO LOWER 20S, THEREFORE THE SNOW IS
QUICKLY ACCUMULATING TO ALL SURFACES, INCLUDING UNTREATED ONES.
THE SNOW WILL ACCUMULATE UP TO AN INCH IN MANY AREAS, WITH PERHAPS
SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS MAINLY IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

WHILE TRAVELING THIS MORNING, BE PREPARED FOR RAPID CHANGES IN
ROAD AND VISIBILITY CONDITIONS. USE EXTRA CAUTION ESPECIALLY ON
ELEVATED SURFACES, SUCH AS BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES AS WELL AS ON
AND EXIT RAMPS, AS THESE SURFACES TEND TO BECOME SLIPPERY QUICKER.
