N.J. winter storm update: Watch for sleet and ice, weather service warns - NJ.com

The state is continuing to see a messy mix of snow, sleet and rain Saturday, with steadier snow to accumulate over the next few hours, the National Weather Service reported around 4 p.m.

The weather service said snow has changed to sleet in some areas, and some parts of the state have gotten some freezing rain.

“This will result in a light glaze of ice,” the weather service’s Mount Holly office advised on its Twitter feed. “Watch especially bridges and overpasses.”

UPDATE: Here’s how much snow fell in your county during Saturday’s winter storm

When will the snow end?

“Snow may mix with sleet or rain during the late afternoon and evening (especially south of 1-78) before tapering off late this evening,” according to the weather service’s briefing.

Are any warnings or advisories in effect?

The NWS expanded the winter weather advisory to include four more counties in the southwestern part of the state: Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Salem. The advisory in those counties runs through 10 p.m.

The National Weather Service issued an earlier winter weather advisory for 12 of the state’s 21 counties: Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren.

The advisory runs through 10 p.m. Saturday in each of those counties, except for Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Passaic and Union. In those five counties, the advisory runs until 1 a.m. Sunday.

How much snow will we get?

As of 5 p.m., the weather service reported 1.7 inches in Warren County and 1.6 inches in Hunterdon. Some counties in the northern part of the state may see up to four or five inches.

Are there airport delays?

There is a Traffic Management Program in effect for traffic arriving to Newark International Airport, due to snow and ice. This is causing some arriving flights to be delayed an average of 1 hour and 45 minutes.
