As reported on our news alerts, Governor Phil Murphy declared that New Jersey will enter a state of emergency beginning Sunday, March 3, at 3:00 p.m. ahead of the expected winter storm. The storm is anticipated to start tonight and continue throughout Monday morning. Executive Order No. 59 declares a state of emergency across all 21 counties in New Jersey, allowing resources to be deployed throughout the state during the duration of the storm.
“New Jersey will be expecting another winter storm today and tomorrow,” said Governor Murphy. “The safety of our residents is our top priority, and we urge everyone to be informed of weather conditions and to stay off the roads so that we are able to deploy available resources to clean the snow.”
New Jersey is expected to experience several inches of snow. To prepare for the winter storm, the New Jersey State Police will activate the State Emergency Operations Center on Sunday, March 3, 2019, at 3:00 p.m. in order to monitor the storm. The New Jersey Department of Transportation will also deploy more than 2,500 plows and spreaders to keep roads and communities safe.
Will Lakewood FINALLY shave a snow day?!?!
Can Lakewood schools do at least a delayed opening this time? I wonder why Lakewood didn’t, when Toms river, Jackson, Brick, Howell, etc did last few weeks.
Lakewood is in the same area!
Yep. State of Emergency Phil at your service. Head for the hills! Run for Cover! Batten down the hatches! Me eyes seem to behold a snowflake yonder!
Maybe our attorney general should sue governor Murphy instead of president Trump over his constant calling for a state of emergency with the slightest forecast of snow.
Agreed! Delayed opening!! The morning commute is terrible!!
Nickj Lakewood didn’t give delayed opening cuz there was no need!
@anon.
So Lakewood area is different from TR, Brick, Jackson? Lol
There was absolutely a need! The snow was coming down so hard you couldnt see the lines in the road!
What are you talking about??? You couldnt see the lines on the road the snowfall was so bad!
Murphy’s Law… so far..
Always will rain when you expect snow and snow when you expect rain.
Murphy, plz, stop with the State of Emergencies, enough already. It’s a snow storm not hurricane Sandy. Its getting to be a joke with this guy. Snow in the forecast ?
EMERGENCY !!
Murphy’s law…
It will rain when you expect snow and snow when you expect rain
At this point I think it’s the State of emergency that kills the snowstorm.
G-ds sense of humor ????
