As it swings through from Saturday night into Sunday morning, much of the state will see the first accumulating snow of the season. (In fact, this will be New Jersey's most impactful winter storm in over 10 months, since February 11-12, 2025.) It's not a "major" storm. It's not a coastal storm or nor'easter.

And enough to make the second half of the weekend feel especially wintry. With less than 24 hours to go until peak wintry impacts, let's talk about the latest storm timeline and expected accumulations. And we can't ignore or undermine the extreme cold that will…...
