Forecasters were predicting the Shore would receive between 2-4 inches of snow during a winter storm Wednesday, with periods of heavy snow eventually mixing with sleet and rain \u2013 making for what will undoubtedly be a tough evening commute.<\/p>\n

Gov. Phil Murphy announced late Tuesday night that all 21 counties in New Jersey would be under a state of emergency beginning at 5 a.m. Wednesday. Meanwhile, the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly issued a Winter Weather Advisory, calling for 2-4 inches of snow and a \u201clight glaze\u201d of ice.<\/p>\n

According to the NWS forecast, snow will likely begin falling around 8 a.m. and last through 4 p.m., before changing to a mix of snow and sleet. The daytime high will be near 34 degrees. Winds will be light. The precipitation will give way to all rain around 7 p.m., with the temperature rising overnight to about 42 degrees. The system will move out of the area by daybreak Thursday, though some showers could linger.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlan on slippery road conditions,\u201d the winter weather advisory statement said. \u201cThe hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a winter storm is expected to impact our State, we are urging residents of New Jersey to drive with caution and use their best judgment during this time,\u201d Murphy said in a statement. \u201cWe are actively monitoring the storm and are prepared to deploy any resources available to ensure the safety of the roads.\u201d<\/p>\n

To prepare for the winter storm, the New Jersey State Police will activate the State Emergency Operations Center on Wednesday, February 20, 2019 at 5 a.m.\u00a0in order to monitor the storm. The New Jersey Department of Transportation will also deploy more than 2,500 plows and spreaders to treat roads.<\/p>\n
