Good News for Middlesex County - Snowstorm is Called Off

Just when the snow shovels, boots, and bags of salt have been called up for duty, the National Weather Service (NWS) has backed down on the snowstorm that was supposed to sock the central New Jersey area.

The storm that was supposed to dump up to 4 inches of snow in the county has fizzled out. The NWS cancelled the winter weather advisory for the area late Wednesday night.

They are saying the Middlesex County region can expect a coating of up to an inch of the white stuff, and that should be mostly deposited on grassy surfaces.

A soaking wet rain, though, is expected to accompany what little snow we can expect throughout the day.

There were some relatively minor power outages Wednesday. PSE&G reported that 1.170 customers in their service area lost their electrical service at 5 pm. That number dropped to only 168 five hours later.
