Nor'easter Snowfall Totals In Bergen County

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — The National Weather Service's New York, NY office has released initial snowfall totals Monday, but projections indicate that the storm is far from over.

Here are the totals in Bergen County as of 6 a.m., according to the NWS:

• Closter 22.4 in
• Westwood 20.0 in
• Mahwah 18.5 in
• East Rutherford 18.3 in
• Franklin Lakes 17.5 in
• Dumont 17.5 in
• Northvale 16.5 in
• Lyndhurst 16.0 in
• Fair Lawn 15.0 in
• Glen Rock 14.3 in
• New Milford 14.0 in
• Ramsey 13.6 in
• Fair Lawn 13.1 in
• Franklin Lakes 13.0 in
• Ramsey 11.0 in

The NWS is forecasting heavy snow, with totals potentially reaching 14-22 inches bringing "near blizzard conditions" to much of the tri-state area.

Strong winds are also expected, which the NWS said could down tree limbs or power lines.

Travel could be "difficult to impossible" during the storm, and officials from across the region are urging residents to stay off the road.

Bergen County Sheriff Anthony Cureton was in Ridgewood checking road conditions on Route 17 Monday. Department of Public Works crews were out working on roadways across the county, he said, but he urged residents to stay home if possible.

"The roads are kind of treacherous, we don't want to see anybody get hurt," he said.

Ridgewood's Office of Emergency Management echoed Cureton's statement. The office reported "slick" road conditions, which were likely to get worse as increased snowfall continued to decrease visibility.

"A car accident is extremely likely," officials said.

Mahwah Mayor Jim Wysocki said all township, county and state roads in the area are plowed and passable, but he also urged residents to stay home.

"Please help our Dpw, county and state workers by staying home while they clear the roads. This storm is going to get worse as the day goes on," he said.

Mahwah PBA officials posted a video of trucks working to clear a roadway in the township. It indeed shows passable roads, but slow moving traffic.

Gov. Phil Murphy has suspended trains and buses, and imposed highway restrictions.
