3K Without Power As -10 Wind Chill Expected In NJ Flash-Freeze

The big storm was a big dud as more than 4 inches of snow fell in some parts of New Jersey, but Gov. Phil Murphy and forecasters say the worst could be coming in the form of flooding and a flash freeze on Sunday night and Monday morning. More power outages could happen as more than 3,000 were without electricity on Sunday. (see towns without power below).

The National Weather Service issued a wind chill advisory for the entire state, saying "real-feel" temperatures as low as -10 or even -20 are possible throughout New Jersey after 6 p.m. Strong winds exceeding 35 mph beginning Sunday aftenoon and heavy icing could topple wires (see road impacts below).

A deadly crash also took place on the Garden State Parkway, and it wasn't determined whether the wet roads played a role. Read more: 1 Dead In Garden State Parkway Crash: State Police

A winter storm warning was effect in Sussex and Passaic counties unil 1 p.m. Nearly everybody had rain and some had snow, all of which could freeze once temperatures dip on Sunday night. Read more: New Jersey Snow Totals, Town-By-Town, On Saturday And Sunday.
