Mount Holly, NJ – Residents across southern New Jersey are facing slick roads and icy conditions as a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 1 p.m. today.
The National Weather Service reports that light snow and freezing rain are creating hazardous travel conditions, particularly on bridges, overpasses, and untreated surfaces. Total snow accumulations could reach one inch, while a light glaze of ice may coat sidewalks and driveways, increasing the risk of slips and falls.
Commuters are urged to slow down and allow extra time to navigate slippery roads. Morning and midday travel disruptions are expected, especially in areas like Camden, Gloucester, and Burlington counties. Drivers should avoid sudden braking and maintain safe distances between vehicles.
Looking ahead, temperatures will dip below freezing tonight, keeping icy patches in place. Christmas Day could bring additional precipitation, with freezing rain and light snow expected in some areas during the morning hours. By the weekend, another system may develop, bringing a renewed chance of snow and freezing rain.
Travelers in New Jersey are encouraged to monitor local updates and call 511 for current road conditions. If you must travel, equip your vehicle with winter essentials such as ice scrapers, blankets, and emergency supplies.
Stay cautious while walking outdoors, as untreated sidewalks and steps are likely to remain icy through the day.
