Rain, Snow Sleet: Schools Announce Delayed Openings, Closures
Somerset County school districts, police, and transit agencies are preparing.
For the third consecutive day, residents in some parts of New Jersey can expect a rough ride to work when they wake up Wednesday morning.
The forecast is for rain, snow, freezing rain, and sleet before 4 p.m., then a chance of rain and snow between 4- 5 p.m, according to the National Weather Service at 4:50 a.m. Wednesday.
After 5 p.m., there is a possibility of rain, snow, and freezing rain. The high is expected to be near 34. We could get 0.1 to 0.2 of an inch of ice and 1-3 inches of snow and sleet. The threat of snow and ice buildup may lead to tree limbs falling on power lines, resulting in power outages.
Another coastal storm may roll in Sunday into Monday, bringing with it the potential for significant snow.
Public workers are asking people to clear vehicles from the streets wherever possible to allow snow plows to do their work.Bernards Township
