Some of us are sitting at our desks working, some are picking our kids up from school, some of us are cozy at home, others are on the road. Whatever you’re doing, you’ve likely received at least 1 alert about an impending snow squall. I got 15. Is that excessive? How many did you get? Let us know in the comments. Read on for the details, and be safe out there.

New Jersey counties include: Sussex, Warren, Morris, Somerset, Middlesex, Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Union, and Passaic.
Drivers are encouraged to stay off roads, if possible. Wait it out if you're unable to see. Slick, icy roads are also a concern.

The warning is currently only until 4:15 p.m. but the sky darkened rapidly near me and the snow is coming down hard and fast. Let us know what it’s like by you and use caution if driving.

Update at 4:25 p.m. – Mercer County is also on alert and the warning has been extended until 5:30 p.m. in some parts of the state. Over 5,000 New Jerseyans are without power.
