Acting Governor Stephen Sweeney has declared a Weather State of Emergency for tonight and tomorrow. He is advising all non-essential employees to stay indoors. No word yet on whether state offices will be closed for Monday. "It is vital that police and public works crews are able to do their jobs. I urge all residents to take this declaration and this storm seriously, and to stay safe, stay home and stay off the roads. We will continue to monitor this storm with the help of our State Police and transportation officials," Sweeney said in a press release Sunday.

| One of the measurements taken at 11:40pm |
I had just ventured outside to take another measurement and, believe me, it is not safe outside! Again, I took several different measurements around the area. The highest non-snowdrift depth was approximately 21.3" and the lowest non-snowdrift depth was 17". The average snowfall depth so far is 19.4". The timeline for this storm remains the same. The Low Pressure center is approximately 100 miles east of Atlantic City and is slowly moving North-Northeast and will continue on that track overnight. The snow should begin to taper off between 4am-5am; however, the blizzard conditions will remain issued until 6pm Monday afternoon. This is because the winds will maintain strength tomorrow and continue blowing snow throughout the day causing reduced visibility. With 19.4" already on the ground and another 4"-5" to go, we could be waking up to snow depths over 2 feet! Be careful overnight!
