The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for much of Northern New Jersey from late Monday night through Wednesday evening with snow, sleet and freezing rain expected the next couple of days.
After a record 16.1 inches fell in January, snow has mixed with sleet Tuesday before changing to freezing rain Tuesday night and possibly ending as snow on Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
The storm is expected to produce anywhere between 4 and 10 inches of snow and some ice accumulation. The precipitation is expected to taper off Tuesday afternoon before intensifying again during the night into Wednesday, the National Weather Service said.
