Governor's Comments And NJ Transit

"Travel could be very difficult," the NWS noted. "Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning and evening commutes. The combination of gusty winds and heavy wet snow could bring down tree branches."

Gov. Mikie Sherrill said that the most snow will fall Sunday night into Monday morning, and that people should work from home if they can.

NJ Transit CEO Kris Kolluri said his agency will do its best to keep buses and trains running Sunday and Monday, depending on conditions. "If you can work from home on Monday, you should, and if we're able to provide the service safely, we will," he said.
