Why is it so cold & dry, & where is all this cold air coming from? Last weekend, the airmass in place across our region was located near the North Pole, which is shrouded in sea ice. It then crossed the tundra of northern Canada and eventually found its way to the Mid-Atlantic!

[NJ Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) @NJBPU]

A #winterstorm is in the forecast, bringing the potential for ice, heavy snow, & strong wind gusts that could damage power lines & cause outages. Please be prepared & stay attentive to weather updates. If you experience a power outage, report it to your #utility company.
