...AN AREA OF HEAVIER SNOW CONTINUES TO IMPACT THE REGION...

AT 7:30 PM, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR AND SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS INDICATED AN AREA OF HEAVIER SNOW OCCURRING FROM
NEAR BURLINGTON COUNTY NORTHWARD TO SOMERSET COUNTY. THERE HAVE
BEEN REPORTS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS OCEAN, MONMOUTH AND
MIDDLESEX COUNTIES, WITH ROAD CONDITIONS SNOW COVERED AND VERY
SLIPPERY.

THE WET CONSISTENCY OF THE SNOW WILL ALLOW IT TO STICK TO TREES
AND POWER LINES, AND THERE HAVE BEEN SOME REPORTS OF SOME TREES
BREAKING UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE SNOW. THIS IS RESULTING IN SOME
RENEWED POWER OUTAGES. THE VISIBILITY WILL BE REDUCED TO AROUND
ONE-HALF OF A MILE AT TIMES. IF YOU NEED TO DRIVE, USE EXTRA
CAUTION THROUGH THIS EVENING AS MANY ROADWAYS HAVE BECOME SNOW
COVERED. IN AREAS THAT HAVE NOT SEEN AS MUCH HEAVIER SNOW, USE
CAUTION ESPECIALLY ON BRIDGES AND OTHER ELEVATED SURFACES AS THESE
TEND TO BECOME SLIPPERY FIRST.
