Snow Blankets South Jersey with Up To 7 or More Inches Expected Before it Ends at Noon

MOUNT HOLLY, NJ – A winter storm warning remains in effect through early afternoon as heavy snow and strong winds continue across central and southern New Jersey and parts of southeast Pennsylvania.

The National Weather Service in Mount Holly issued the alert at 6:06 a.m., warning of 3 to 7 inches of total snow accumulation before conditions taper later today.

Forecasters said the storm will continue producing periods of heavy snow through noon, creating slippery roads and low visibility from blowing snow.

Temperatures are expected to drop steadily through the day, falling to around 23 degrees by late afternoon as northwest winds increase to 20 mph with gusts up to 35 mph.

Travel disruptions and low visibility

The wintry mix has already caused hazardous driving conditions on major routes including the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, and Interstate 295.

Transportation officials have reported multiple crashes and lane closures through the morning as road surfaces froze and visibility dropped below a quarter mile in open areas.

Motorists are urged to avoid unnecessary travel until plows and salt crews can fully treat main and secondary roadways.

Bitter cold to follow storm’s exit

After the snow ends, skies will begin to clear tonight, but temperatures will plummet into the teens with wind chills as low as minus one.

Monday will start mostly calm but remain below freezing, with highs near 30 and a west wind up to 10 mph.
