Hillsborough is under a Blizzard watch from Monday afternoon through Tuesday evening, as more than a foot of “heavy blowing snow” is predicted to hit the state, the National Weather Service reports.

By Monday night, Hillsborough could see 8 inches of new snow accumulation, with an additional three to five inches falling on Tuesday. According to the NWS, much of the state will see blizzard conditions and one to two feet of snow.

Governor Chris Christie today declared a state of emergency Monday as a winter storm with tropic-storm-force winds began to fall in New Jersey. Power companies are warning residents that strong winds may bring down power lines and tree limbs.

Several municipal offices are also closed due to the storm, for more closings and tips from Hillsborough Mayor Tomson, click here.
