New Jersey declared a state of emergency in five counties that are expected to get slammed by a powerful nor’easter winter storm Tuesday, with some regions expecting a foot or more of snow in the first major winter storm of the season.
Significant snowfall, sleet, and freezing rain could bring hazardous conditions and impact travel in the northwestern counties of Hunterdon, Morris, Passaic, Sussex, and Warren, Gov. Phil Murphy said on Monday.
