URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ
340 PM EST Tue Mar 6 2018

...A dangerous wet snow storm will have high impact and potential
for numerous new power outages and some tree damage from eastern
Pennsylvania into northern New Jersey...

.A compact but powerful nor'easter will skirt the New Jersey
coast on Wednesday, producing periods of heavy precipitation. All
locations along and west of the Interstate 95 corridor are
vulnerable to heavy snow, with the greatest uncertainty within 20
miles either side of Interstate 95. Otherwise, there is very high
confidence that this storm will make travel difficult or nearly
impossible at times, across much of eastern Pennsylvania and
northern New Jersey, basically from near Philadelphia, west and
north to the New York state border and beyond. Highest snow
accumulations will be in the hilly areas. Unnecessary travel is
not recommended Wednesday. Thereafter, communities will need
Wednesday night and Thursday morning to dig out. Caution is
advised for those with heart problems as over exertion removing
wet snow could prompt a heart attack.
