New Jersey districts have announced school closings and delayed openings for Tuesday as the cleanup continues from a fierce weekend winter storm.
Complicating those efforts are brutally cold temperatures expected Monday night into Tuesday morning that could cause black ice on roads, sidewalks and bridges.
- ALSO: Another weekend snowstorm may be brewing. Here’s the early forecast.
The National Weather Service has issued a cold weather advisory for most of New Jersey from 7 p.m. Monday through 10 a.m. Wednesday.
Even colder temperatures are expected later this week, meaning the new snow is likely to stick around at least through the weekend.
“Dangerous cold comes this week with several nights featuring single digit temperatures and wind chills below zero,” the National Weather Service said early Monday. “It’s quite rare to get a stretch of temperatures this cold for so long. Take precautions if headed out.”
