🚨❄️ BLIZZARD WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EST MONDAY ❄️🚨
📍 Morristown, New Jersey

A Blizzard Warning is not just snow — it means:
🌬️ Sustained winds of 35 mph or greater
🌨️ Visibility reduced to less than ¼ mile
⏳ Dangerous conditions lasting several hours

These storms can quickly become life-threatening.

⚠️ Why Blizzard Preparation Matters

Blizzards can lead to:
• 🚫 Road closures & whiteout conditions
• 🔌 Power outages
• 🚗 Travel disruptions
• 🥶 Increased risk of frostbite
• ☠️ Carbon monoxide exposure

🏠 During the Storm

• Stay indoors and off the roads unless absolutely necessary
• 🧥 Dress in layers if you must go outside
• 📻 Monitor local updates and emergency alerts
• 🔋 Use generators outdoors only and away from windows and doors

🌤️ After the Storm

• ⚠️ Be cautious of icy roads and falling snow from roofs
• 🚒 Clear vents and fire hydrants near your property
• 🤝 Check on neighbors, especially seniors and those with disabilities

Blizzard conditions can change rapidly across Morristown. Take warnings seriously. Prepare early. Stay informed.

❄️ Respect the storm. Stay safe.

We’re in for seriously cold weather over the next few days, with single-digit temperatures and wind chills dropping below zero at times.

The good news? Temperatures are expected to rebound to the “tropical” mid 30s by Tuesday 🌴😄

Until then, please take precautions during the extreme cold:
