Gov. Phil Murphy has declared a state of emergency for New Jersey ahead of a major snowstorm impacting the state.
The governor urged all New Jersey
residents to stay off the roads, stay at home, and stay safe.
"Because people are currently still
working from home and so many students are remote learning, we do not
anticipate the setting after school at rush hour issues that we would otherwise
see from a storm,” Murphy said. “With this timing coming in as it is,
mostly going to do throughout the afternoon and into the evening rush, we hope
this will allow deities cruise to tend to their duties without any issues, but
if you are on the road after the storm conditions have begun, we urged the
police take it slow and use common sense of caution.”
State offices closed at 1 p.m.
