Gov. Mikie Sherrill has declared a state of emergency for all 21 counties in New Jersey starting noon Sunday, ahead of the blizzard that is expected to start Sunday and continue into Monday.

"I said it last time and I'll say it again. We need to be prepared, we need to be safe. Get water, get all of your charging done with your devices, stay off the roads. We're getting a lot of snow and extremely high winds," said Sherrill.

The governor emphasized that this storm is expected to be more severe than the one that hit the state last month.

"This storm faces more risks than the last one because of the blizzard conditions and the heavy winds. Additional crews and mutual aid are being sent in and will be working around the clock to support residents," she said.

Sherrill said there has been no decision made about disruptions for NJ Transit rail and bus services.

"NJ Transit is closely tracking the forecast and will be making service recommendations as we continue to get more information," she said.
