On Sunday at 4:36 p.m. a special weather statement was issued by the National Weather Service until 8 p.m. for Hudson, Bergen, Essex and Union counties.
“**Moderate to Heavy Snow Early This Evening*** Bands of moderate to heavy snow will move across the area through 8pm. Snowfall rates will increase to one half to one inch per hour in the heaviest snow. Conditions will begin deteriorating, especially after sunset, as temperatures continue falling below freezing. This will allow the snow to accumulate on all surfaces. Travel is not recommended as roads will become snow covered and hazardous,” says the weather service.
