New Jersey declares state of emergency as East Coast is expected to be bombarded with eight inches of snow

New Jersey lawmakers have declared a state of emergency as forecasters warn the East Coast is about to be bombarded with eight inches of snow - placing millions of people under weather warnings.

The state's Governor Phil Murphy made the announcement Saturday night ahead of an Arctic Blast which is set to barrel in on Sunday morning and dump one inch of snow per hour over the Garden State.



Murphy told New Jersey residents to avoid traveling by car unless the journey is essential. The state of emergency kicked in at 8am Sunday.

'Beginning tomorrow morning, we are expecting a winter storm to bring heavy snow, followed by dangerously low temperatures expected on Monday and continuing through Wednesday,' Murphy said.

'As always, I urge all New Jerseyans to use caution, follow all safety protocols, and remain off the roads unless absolutely necessary.'

The National Weather Service (NWS) said that much of the Lower 48 should brace for 'the coldest air-mass of the season to date' from Sunday through January 24 as a trifecta of storms moves in.

Temperatures are expected to get as low as 9F (minus 12C) in New Jersey by mid-week, with similar climes predicted in New York, and 5F (minus 15C) expected in the Northeast.

Meteorologists predict temperatures could plunge up to 45 degrees below average, engulfing at least 20 states across the Plains, the Great Lakes and the Northeast.

Since when is eight inches of snow in New Jersey considered a 'state of emergency'?

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

Had the same thought. It must be eight inches on top of what is already there. Or maybe 8" on top of ice or something.
There has to be some unique condition to qualify for 'state of emergency'? Don't know what it may be?
