For the unaware, the state of New Jersey and most of the northeast of the United States is about to face a significant snow storm. How significant? Reports of 12 to 24 inches of snow in some parts of the state with lesser amounts elsewhere; with lesser being about 10 to 16 inches and mixed in with sleet. A blizzard warning is in effect for the entire Tuesday including an overnight period on Wednesday. Many schools in the area are closed, many companies have already planned to shut down in advance of the inclement weather on Tuesday, and everyone is generally encouraged to stay in a safe place in the face of this winter storm.
