Happy Kwanzaa, New Jersey! May the glow of the kinara lift up you and your family this season.

.@NJ211 has released a list of statewide resources to help residents stay warm during these chilly conditions, #CodeBlue activated in many places. 🔍 To find 🔥warming centers & 🏠 shelter for people who are homeless or need assistance staying warm. https://t.co/M6Ps5M6Egr

Due to the severe snowstorm, with the potential of icy and slippery conditions, I have declared a State of Emergency across the state beginning this afternoon. Please monitor official updates and remain off the roads unless necessary. Stay safe, New Jersey!

Across the state, we may see up to 8 inches of snow overnight, with the most snowfall in North and Central Jersey.   Please try to stay off the roads during the storm and stay safe, New Jersey! ❄️

If you are planning on traveling today, we urge you to hit the road early to avoid driving through the snowstorm. Snow is expected to begin in the early afternoon with the heaviest snowfall between 6:00 p.m. and 2 a.m.

Winter weather is in the forecast. Be prepared, pay close attention to weather forecasts, and plan travels carefully. In the event of a power outage, report it to your #utility company right away.

(1/4) ⚠️Winter Weather Advisories for Somerset, Middlesex, and Monmouth counties were upgraded to Winter Storm Warnings. Otherwise, Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings remain in effect for this afternoon through Sat morning.

Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Christmas.

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season! #happyholidays

Did you know that failing to seal your air ducts can result in a loss of heated air in your home by approximately 20-40%. To help prevent air leaks from happening this winter season, try… ✅Caulking window/door frames ✅Applying weatherstripping ✅Sealing ductwork

❄ Are you using a space heater to stay warm? Remember to use it safely: Keep it away from flammable materials, never leave it unattended, and ✔️ALWAYS plug it directly into a wall outlet, ❌ NEVER a power strip. #wintersafetytip

Now through March 15th, certain gas, electric, water, and wastewater customers are protected from utility shut-offs through New Jersey's Winter Termination Program (WTP). Contact your utility company for eligibility and to set up a deferred payment plan.
