NJ State of Emergency in Effect
Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency across New Jersey on Tuesday night as the state braces for yet another major winter storm -- one that could dump more than a foot of snow on some parts of the state over the next two days.
Murphy also ordered state offices closed Wednesday.
The powerful nor'easter is expected to batter the state from Tuesday evening until Wednesday, the first day of spring.
The National Weather Service forecasters say most of the state could get 12 to 18 inches of snow, with all but the coastal areas getting at least 8 inches.
The heavy snow will be accompanied by winds that could gust up to 50 mph along the coast, moderate coastal flooding and downed trees that could lead to power outages, forecasters predict.
The state of emergency began at 7 p.m. and covers all 21 counties.
