SNOW SQUALLS ALERT
A message from the New Jersey Office of Emergency Manage:
There is potential for snow squalls from Sunday morning into early afternoon.
What is a snow squall?
Snow squalls are short, intense bursts of snow and wind that can catch people off-guard. They can reduce visibility and cause dangerous travel conditions.
Don't let snow squalls sneak up on you! Here are a few safety tips if you encounter a snow squall:
- Consider avoiding or delaying travel until the snow squall passes your location.
- Leave extra time if you must travel so you can navigate appropriately and not feel rushed.
- Reduce your speed and turn on your headlights. In a matter of seconds your visibility can be zero.
- Don’t slam on your brakes. With roads being slick this could contribute to loss of vehicle control.
- If you’re caught in one, slow down, turn on your hazard lights and try to exit the road when safe to do so.
