Governor Chris Christie advised New Jersey residents to maintain a high level of situational awareness regarding the weather conditions. "I urge all New Jersey residents to monitor the National Weather Service forecasts. This is a serious and significant weather event which will create extremely hazardous conditions. Travel will be dangerous and it is not advised."   In addition to extremely hazardous travel conditions, there is the potential for power outages. The storm will be followed a period of sub-zero wind chills.
