Trenton, NJ – Heavy snow is impacting parts of New Jersey and southeast Pennsylvania this morning as a Winter Storm Warning remains in effect, bringing hazardous travel conditions across the region.
According to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, a Winter Storm Warning will continue until 1 p.m. EST Sunday, with total snow accumulations of 4 to 6 inches expected. The heaviest snow is falling across central, northern, and southern New Jersey, as well as southeast Pennsylvania, including the Philadelphia metro area.
In New Jersey, affected counties include Middlesex, Monmouth, Mercer, Ocean, Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester, with impacts stretching from New Brunswick and Freehold, to Trenton, Mount Holly, Cherry Hill, and Long Beach Island. In Pennsylvania, the warning covers Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks counties, including Philadelphia, Media, West Chester, Norristown, and Doylestown.
Forecasters warn that snowfall rates may be heavy at times, leading to snow-covered and slippery roads. Travel could become very difficult, especially during the morning hours, as untreated roads quickly deteriorate.
Drivers are urged to avoid unnecessary travel. Those who must be on the roads should carry emergency supplies, including food, water, and a flashlight, in case of delays or becoming stranded. Officials recommend checking real-time road conditions by dialing 511 before heading out.
The storm is affecting major travel corridors throughout the region, including routes connecting central New Jersey, the Jersey Shore, and the Philadelphia metropolitan area, potentially impacting commuters, deliveries, and emergency response times.
Snow is expected to taper off by early afternoon, but lingering impacts may continue as crews work to clear roads and sidewalks.
Residents should continue monitoring updates from the National Weather Service and local emergency management officials as conditions evolve through the afternoon.
