New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy on Sunday declared that New Jersey will enter a State of Emergency effective at 10:00 p.m. due to significant and severe storms causing hazardous winter weather conditions, including heavy snow, sleet, freezing rain, high wind gusts, and freezing temperatures.
Executive Order No. 374 declares a state of emergency across Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Counties, allowing resources to be deployed throughout the state during the duration of the storm.
“Throughout our state, we are experiencing severe winter weather resulting in hazardous conditions, with snowfall expected to reach a high of six to eight inches in our southern counties,” Murphy said. “These dangerous outdoor conditions may impact the morning or evening commutes and make travel very difficult. Drivers should stay off the roads if possible, remain alert, and follow all safety protocols.”
