How Much Snow Did The Nor'easter Bring To Wyckoff?

WYCKOFF, NJ — A "major" nor'easter brought snow to Wyckoff on Wednesday, producing school closures and altering some city plans.

But the accumulation didn't live up to the loftier projections, which forecasted up to a foot of snow in some parts of the state.

In Franklin Lakes, the National Weather Service reported more than 6-inches of snowfall as of 12:55 a.m.

The NWS labeled the "major" system a "nor'easter" since it was expected to produce strong, sustained damaging winds and precipitation over a 24-hour period on Wednesday.

The storm was projected to dump up to a foot of snow in the northern part of the state, making roadways dangerous, and potentially knocking out power for multiple communities.

But power outages haven't posed a problem for the region.

PSE&G only reports 17 outages in Bergen County, all of them in Haworth.

In anticipation of the storm's impact, Wyckoff Public Schools announced Thursday would be a snow day, with classes canceled outright. Remote learning is expected to resume Friday.

At Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School District Schools, remote learning is planned for Thursday, but with a catch.

"In the event of any power outages in the FLOW communities please relax and enjoy your day," read a notice from both Indian Hills and Ramapo High School.

Wyckoff had also made adjustments to trash collection, rescheduling Thursday's pick-ups to Saturday.

The forecast has also impacted county-wide programs.

Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco announced the county has preemptively canceled COVID-19 testing at Bergen Community College in Paramus for Thursday.

Though testing won't be available Thursday, you can still get tested this week.

Here were expected snow totals:

Officials said there are over 400 pieces of road equipment available for snow clearing efforts to make roads safer, though Gov. Phil Murphy noted during a Wednesday news conference that fewer people are expected on the road due to the coronavirus.

"Because so many people are currently still working from home, and so many students are still on remote learning, we do not anticipate the same after school or rush hour issues that we would otherwise see," Murphy said. "But if you are on the road after the storm conditions have begun, we urge you to please take it slow, and use common sense and caution."

Murphy said the state is also watching the delivery of the new coronavirus vaccine, saying 35 hospitals are supposed to get delivery within the next 24-48 hours.
