| Governor Phil Murphy today declared that New Jersey will enter a State of Emergency effective at 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, January 19 in anticipation of significant winter weather, causing hazardous weather conditions including heavy snow and dangerously low temperatures. Snow accumulations are expected to be as high as 8 to 12 inches in parts of the state, followed by extreme cold, with high temperatures in the teens and single digits and wind chills below zero. Executive Order No. 378 declares a State of Emergency across all 21 counties in New Jersey.
“Beginning tomorrow morning, we are expecting a winter storm to bring heavy snow, followed by dangerously low temperatures expected on Monday and continuing through Wednesday,” said Governor Murphy. “As always, I urge all New Jerseyans to use caution, follow all safety protocols, and remain off the roads unless absolutely necessary.”
The Governor encourages New Jerseyans to visit ready.nj.gov for important weather updates and safety information. Residents should also monitor local forecasts, warnings, and watches.

Why is Damien Thorne commenting and Comparing Canada to NJ ..aand I dont see anyone crying for anything. This isnt our first rodeo, pal
Ridiculous call. Now services for special needs are getting cancelled all over. A little bit of snow and this gov is putting people in hardship over basically a nothing burger. Damian is absolutely correct. Snow and winter weather are the climate in the northeast.
