Road conditions around New Jersey are pretty bad as snow and ice cover the state. But that did not stop some local businesses from staying open.

News 12 visited 300 Slices Pizzeria. The eatery opened at noon on Sunday. The owners say there have been nonstop online orders at their locations in Lodi and Paterson.

Sunday's snowstorm is impacting travel around the Tri-state area.

Freezing rain and icy conditions have arrived in southern parts of New Jersey. News 12’s Chris Keating was in Brick Township to check out the conditions.

Keating says that crews on the Garden State Parkway did a good job of clearing out the snow, but he says that conditions remained icy.

State officials are urging all New Jersey residents to stay off the roadways as much as possible.

Heavy snow is impacting all of the Garden State. News 12’s Jim Murdoch was in Point Pleasant Beach to see how the storm was impacting the Jersey Shore.

Icy conditions from a wintry mix are expected to cause dangerous roadways with the potential for power outages.

There were no rest days for some New Jersey residents, who did not let the heavy snow stop them from working out.

One News 12 crew caught up with several Rutgers University students who were out running and exercising not too far off campus in Piscataway. Another News 12 crew came across a woman cross-country skiing in Metuchen.

Heavy snow continues to fall across the state, with many areas already seeing over 5 inches as of noon.

Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco on Sunday said he has been getting reports of a lot of traffic despite advising drivers to stay off the roads.

Tedesco, echoing sentiments from multiple New Jersey state officials, urged residents to stay home.

“We’ve been getting reports of a lot of traffic on the road, and that’s disappointing to us. We could really do a good job if people stayed off the roads,” he said.

Crews have been in Bergen County since 6 a.m. to clear the roadways. Tedesco, who was monitoring conditions at a DPW yard in Paramus, said that the county should be “in good shape” by Monday morning.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill said in an interview with News 12 that New Jersey road conditions Sunday morning are poor and is asking drivers to avoid the roads. She said she witnessed several accidents as she made her way to the state’s Traffic Management Center. Sherrill said that staying off the roadways will allow crews to salt and plow the state’s highways.

The governor also wanted to remind everyone that NJ Transit’s bus and Light Rail service has been suspended. She said that the commuter trains will stop running at 2 p.m. She says service is expected to resume on Monday.

News 12’s Jack Ford was out in Piscataway checking in on the road and weather conditions. State officials are warning residents to stay off the highways as much as possible to allow crews easier access to clear the snow.

Heavy snow is falling across New Jersey. News 12’s Amanda Eustice is in South Plainfield with the latest on weather and road conditions.

Hudson County officials say they are prepared for the major winter storm bearing down on the Northeast.

County Executive Craig Guy said the storm could be the most significant the region has seen in years. “We haven’t seen a storm like this in over six years,” Guy said. Officials say they have ramped up preparations to keep residents safe, including deploying equipment and personnel across the county. “We have approximately 125 pieces of equipment out today. We have over 200 employees,” Guy said. The Hudson County Sheriff’s Office will also increase patrols during the storm to assist local police departments. Officials are urging residents to stay home if possible and avoid traveling during the storm. They warn that dangerously cold temperatures could pose serious health risks. The temperatures will drop to dangerous levels.

Residents are also reminded to use space heaters safely. County parks will close once snowfall reaches 6 inches, officials said. “This is not just a snowstorm. We’re going into a deep freeze, with single-digit temperatures. Once the snow ends, the emergency is not going to end,” officials said. Residents are encouraged to check on neighbors, especially seniors and vulnerable individuals, during the period of dangerously cold temperatures.

Crews across New Jersey spent the week preparing for another round of winter weather that will blanket the state on Sunday.

In Woodbridge Township, public works crews were already treating roads Saturday morning, as the township prepares for its third winter storm in recent weeks. Public Works Director George Brew said the department is fully prepared.

“All of our trucks are ready. Plows are on, salters are on. They’re all loaded and ready to go. So today is kind of the calm before the storm,” Brew said.

Brew said the township received a salt delivery earlier this week and produces its own brine on site.

“So basically, it’s a saltwater mixture,” Brew said. “We mix regular road salt with the water. They get it to a 23.5% salinity.”

In addition to plow trucks and salt spreaders, the township also has specialized equipment, including a snow melter, called the “Snow Dragon” capable of melting large amounts of snow even in the worst conditions.

Brew said the township is aiming to have roads cleared by late morning or early afternoon Monday. He asked everyone to stay off the roads if possible.

“If you don’t need to drive, if you’re not an essential worker, I believe the governor put in a state of emergency,” Brew said. “Just stay off the roads. And a big thing is getting your cars off the road so our plows can get curb to curb.”

Brew also said it may be good advice not to shovel the section of snow between your driveway and the street, as plows can push snow back into cleared areas during their passes, making the snow mounds larger, and more difficult to shovel later on.
