Snow and Ice Prompt Winter Weather Advisories Across New Jersey

From Tuesday night until two in the morning on Wednesday, Monmouth, Middlesex, Hunterdon, Somerset, Morris, Sussex, and Warren counties have all been placed under a winter weather advisory.

The National Weather Service predicts that freezing rain will leave a thin layer of ice in these places.

"Very slippery sidewalks, roads, and bridges are possible," said to forecasters with the National Weather Service. While people going outside should be cautious of their initial few steps as they may be slick, drivers are advised to slow down and exercise caution when driving.

The good news is that temperatures will begin to rise on Tuesday. The National Weather Service predicts that Tuesday's high will be close to 40 degrees and will remain that way for the remainder of the week.
