Trenton, NJ – In anticipation of the severe winter weather
expected to arrive in New Jersey tonight, Governor Chris Christie 
declared a
State of Emergency, authorizing the State Director of Emergency 
Management to
continue coordinating the preparation, response and recovery efforts for 
the
storm with all county and municipal emergency operations and 
governmental
agencies. Governor Christie also authorized the closing of state offices 
on
Wednesday, February 5th for all non-essential employees.

"Tonight's winter weather is expected to produce snow and
ice, creating hazardous travel conditions and affecting areas throughout 
the
state that are already recovering from yesterday's storm," said Governor
Christie. "I've authorized state officials to continue all necessary
actions to assist, and my Administration will continue monitoring 
conditions
throughout the remainder of the storm. I encourage all New Jerseyans to 
drive
carefully and remain off the roads if possible so that our first 
responders and
public safety officials can safely respond to any emergency situations."

Tonight's storm is expected to continue into tomorrow afternoon,
bringing additional snow and ice to areas that experienced significant 
snowfall
during yesterday's storm. A potential mixture of hazardous travel 
conditions,
fallen trees, power outages and flooding are anticipated.
