...VERY HEAVY SNOW WITH DANGEROUS CONDITIONS...

Very heavy snow with rates up to 3 inches per hour and temperatures
near freezing this afternoon is resulting in dangerous road
conditions, and this continues to develop eastward to the Jersey
Shore. Roads will be snow covered and visibility will be
significantly reduced to one quarter of a mile.

The heavy wet snow rapidly sticking to trees and power lines will
result in tree limbs breaking or some trees becoming uprooted.
This results in additional power outages.

When snowfall rates reach or exceed 1 inch per hour, accumulation
on roads makes it difficult for road crews to keep up. Travel is
not recommended.
