The new temperatures in at 11:00 a.m. show that many areas in Central and Southern New Jersey are now at 33 degrees, barely above freezing. I see these temperatures rising very minimally throughout the afternoon in these locations. There are still a few pockets where temperatures are at 32 degrees and hence the winter weather advisory has been continued for this region. Sussex, Warren, and Morris Counties are still in the upper twenties at this hour. These three counties will experience a prolonged period of freezing rain and freezing drizzle into the afternoon. As I had mentioned last night, the light icing would likely lead to numerous accidents because many would believe it is a minor event and not take precautions. There were numerous vehicle accidents early this morning.
Jersey Central Power and Light's outage map did show a few counties with 501-2000 customers without power. I am not sure if this is the result of vehciles hitting poles or if there is just enough icing to bring down some branches.
