"We are about to enter the worst of this storm. It is going to be very bad for the next 12 hours," Gov. Phil Murphy said on Twitter Monday.

Murphy said the early afternoon would be the "teeth" of the storm, and the state Department of Transportation had 3,900 pieces of equipment deployed to keep up with worsening road conditions.

The NWS said travel could be "difficult to impossible" during the storm, and those conditions could linger into Tuesday.

Wayne schools haven't yet announced plans for a second snow day after canceling class Monday citing "extreme weather conditions."

The district is currently on a remote learning model, and would return virtually, barring another snow day.
