Heavy, Wet Snow Expected Monday

Two to four inches of snow is expected.

The calendar may say spring, but nobody told the weather.

The National Weather Service (NWS) released a hazardous weather advisory for the region which could bring rain and snow to Morris County as early as Sunday night and into Monday, possibly until early Tuesday morning.

Morris County officials said Saturday afternoon they expect two to four inches of "heavy and wet snow" to fall, according to a statement from Jeff Paul, director of the Morris County Office of Emergency Management.

"Snow is expected to arrive around 5 [a.m.]-6 a.m. Monday and continue until approximately 1 [a.m.]-2 a.m. Tuesday," Paul said.
