...AN AREA OF HEAVIER SNOW WITH HOURLY RATES NEAR AN INCH
CONTINUES TO IMPACT MUCH OF THE REGION...

AT 9:00 PM, NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR AND SURFACE
OBSERVATIONS INDICATED AN AREA OF HEAVIER SNOW OCCURRING FROM
BURLINGTON COUNTY NORTHWARD TO SOMERSET COUNTY. THERE HAVE BEEN
REPORTS OF 3 TO 7 INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS OCEAN, MONMOUTH AND
MIDDLESEX COUNTIES ALONG WITH RATHER POOR ROAD CONDITIONS.

THE WET CONSISTENCY OF THE SNOW WILL ALLOW IT TO STICK TO TREES
AND POWER LINES, AND THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF SOME TREES
BREAKING UNDER THE WEIGHT OF THE SNOW. THIS IS RESULTING IN SOME
RENEWED POWER OUTAGES, ESPECIALLY IN OCEAN, MONMOUTH AND MIDDLESEX
COUNTIES. 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 HAZARDOUS. 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.
