Parts of northern New Jersey will wake up Friday with snow already on the ground, which could mean slick roads. So take it easy on the way to work.
It’s possible that most of the area will get several inches of snow when it’s all said and done. Places at higher elevations, such as Sullivan County, New York, could see more than a foot!
