BERKELEY HEIGHTS/MOUNTAINSIDE, NJ — All Berkeley Heights Public Schools and the Mountainside School District will be closed Wednesday, due to anticipated weather conditions.

As many as 18 inches of heavy, wet snow could fall, creating the potential for power outages across the state. The double-wave storm, the fourth possible nor'easter to hit New Jersey in three weeks, could be a "long-duration event" packing 45 mph winds. The bulk of the storm is expected to come in two waves, especially on Wednesday, and could extend the nor'easter to a 36-hour system.
