No snow yet here in Edison, but let's continue our team 12 coverage right now. News 12 New Jersey's Christine Quay in Bergen County, where I believe you got some snow there, Christine, and county employees have been hard at work. Yes, Eric, so we do officially have some snow here. Temperature has certainly dropped, but the flakes started a couple of minutes ago, and now you can see it is actually falling pretty steadily here. Of course our meteorologists have been telling you all day this is going to continue throughout the evening into the night, and that's why the Bergen County employees here are getting their salt trucks and plows. Onto the road already ahead of what's to come. So I'm going to step out of the frame so you can take a look at what's going on over here right now. They started filling up here at the Department of Public Works right around 4:30 in order to get ahead of those flakes coming down right now. And they say they're going to be doing shifts throughout the night so they can come back and fill up on salt. Here and make sure they're steadily salting the roads now. The salt barn here in Paramus holds about 5000 tons of salt, and while it's not full right now, we're still looking at thousands of tons of salt here, about 3500, so they're certainly stocked up for this storm. In the meantime though, here is what county officials say you can keep in mind overnight. Sometime around 9 in the morning, 10:00 in the morning, people should be able to get out and get and about, um, but I do ask them to stop, you know, not drive tonight when the trucks are out, give the plow operators a chance to do their job, um, you know, salt comes out the back of the truck, so we don't want their cars to get sprayed with salt and things, um, let our folks do what they're, they're paid to do. And Tedesco tells me that the main priority this evening is going to be clearing the roads and salting the roads around hospitals, police, and fire stations that emergency responders can do their job as well. We're going to be back with an update in just a couple of hours here in North Jersey, but for now you can stay with us on our app as well. So I'll send it back to you, Eric, in Primus, Christine Quay News 12, New Jersey. All right, Christine, thanks a lot.
