The big question: When will New Jersey’s blizzard finally end?
And, just as importantly, how much more snow is going to fall? Get our latest winter storm forecast, featuring a complete storm timeline and expected snow accumulations for New Jersey.
Sigh. You might not like the answer to such questions, as this nor'easter will continue to roll on with a lot more snow and wind to come.
Final snowfall totals will likely end up over 20 inches over a large area of central New Jersey. I would not be surprised to see a few isolated numbers up to 30 inches of snow. Somewhat lower totals will be found to the far north (around Sussex County) and along the south coast (Atlantic and Cape May counties).
A Blizzard Warning continues through Sunday morning for much of New Jersey, as very heavy snowfall and fierce wind gusts up to 60 mph will combine to reduce visibility below a quarter-mile for most of Saturday.
