With Major Winter Storm About To Hit NJ, State Of Emergency Declared

Hudson County’s winter luck is about to run out, as a major snow, ice and sleet storm is about to hit the region for the first time in a few years.  A state of emergency has been issued across the entire Garden State, with heavy snow expected to start falling by mid-to-late afternoon in Hudson County, which is under a winter storm warning.

The snow, likely to continue overnight into Saturday, may turn to ice and freezing rain as the overnight hours continue into early Saturday in areas south of Interstate 78.

The National Weather Service is predicting as much as eight inches of snow may fall across Hudson County.

Acting Gov. Tahesha Way made the declaration while Gov. Phil Murphy is traveling out of state for the holidays.
