Many New Jersey residents will experience snowfall on Wednesday as a storm system approaches the Garden State.
Areas of the state north of Interstate 78 are expected to see an inch or two of snow. A winter weather advisory has been issued by the National Weather Service for Sussex, Morris, Warren and western Passaic counties.
Some Sussex County residents were out Tuesday evening getting the supplies they needed to be prepared for the weather.
“First time homeowner. I got burned on the first snowstorm, so I have to get ready for this one,” says Sparta resident Ian Casella.
From a business perspective, snow means more customers coming into hardware stores, which means more sales for the businesses.
“It has been busier than in the past. The last few days with sunshine and 40-degree weather wasn’t all that popular here,” says Lianna LeValley, of the Hardware Store of Sparta. “People want their salt, their shovels and they also want their snowblower fixed.”
The snow is expected to change over into rain by late Wednesday afternoon and into the evening.
