Nor'easter Dumped More Than 4 Inches Of Snow On Moorestown

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Moorestown saw 4.7 inches of snow during the first major storm of the winter on Wednesday. Although the storm is over, county officials urged residents to continue using caution while driving.

Between 4 and 6.5 inches of snow accumulated across most of Burlington County from Wednesday's storm, which brought a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain to the region.

Chesterfield had the most in the county with 6.5 inches, followed by Westampton with 6.2 inches. Cinnaminson and Mount Laurel each saw 4.5 inches of snow.

Wednesday's storm began at around noon Wednesday. Between then and midnight, Burlington County Central Communications fielded more than 2,000 inbound emergency and administrative calls, officials said. Central also fielded more than 1,000 incident calls from police, fire and emergency medical services.

The Burlington County Department of Roads and Bridges dispatched its full fleet of 52 highway trucks to salt and plow the more than 500 miles of county roads, officials said. Highway crews worked all through last night and will continue to salt during the day today and into tonight due to re-freezing.

"Our Public Works employees deserve our thanks for working to clear our county highways," Burlington County Freeholder Dan O'Connell, liaison to the Departments of Public Works and Emergency Management, said. "While we're grateful for all their hard work, motorists still need to be careful when out driving, especially with temperatures expected to drop below freezing again."
