<p>Today, we’re running through the latest update on winter storm Gail, the results from last night’s basketball game and the latest COVID-19 numbers.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But first, get your fireplace going and your favorite mug out on the table because there is a big snow storm on the way.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As of late Tuesday night, a winter storm warning is set to go into effect in Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Passaic and Union counties from 2 p.m. Wednesday through 1 p.m. Thursday, as issued by the National Weather Service.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Some parts of northern New Jersey that had been projected to get 18 to 24 inches are now forecast to receive 8 to 12 inches of snow, <a href="https://www.nj.com/weather/2020/12/nj-weather-slight-drop-in-snowfall-predictions-parts-of-state-can-see-18-inches-latest-update-on-winter-storm.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according</a> to NJ.com. </p>



<p>The state Department of Transportation also issued a “Winter Weather Congestion Alert” based on the impending storm and urged motorists to avoid unnecessary travel, NJ.com continued.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In sports, the FDU women’s three-game winning streak came to an end at yesterday’s <a href="https://fduequinox.com/2020/12/15/live-blog-fdu-womens-basketball-against-saint-francis/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">game</a> against SFU, suffering a second loss of the season, 62-51.</p>



<p>FDU women’s will get back in the game to host SFU in the second round-robin game today at 12 p.m. Make sure to tune into the live blog on our website and on Twitter..&nbsp;</p>



<p>As far as COVID-19 goes, Bergen County saw a 375-case increase as of  this morning, bringing the new total of cases since March to 40,414 for the state, <a href="https://projects.nj.com/coronavirus-tracker/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according</a> to NJ’s Coronavirus Tracker. </p>



<p>With the snowstorm impending, hopefully that means a nice break for all of us.&nbsp;</p>
