<p>Hope you like snow &#8212; northern and central Jersey are being hit with two to four inches of snow from last night to early this morning, <a href="https://www.nj.com/weather/2021/02/nj-weather-snow-pushing-further-north-winter-weather-advisories-expanded-to-cover-16-counties.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according</a> to NJ.com. </p>



<p>We had no shortage of snow the past month, with <a href="https://fduequinox.com/2021/01/31/winter-storm-orlena-to-bring-snowfall-as-high-as-18-inches/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">several</a> snow storms ravaging several regions of New Jersey. It’s <a href="https://fduequinox.com/2021/02/01/vaccination-sites-closing-amid-snowstorm/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">affecting</a> even vaccination site operations. </p>



<p>Yet, this is the season that keeps on giving!</p>



<p>This snowstorm is now tracked to shift further up north and gain more force than initially thought, the National Weather Service <a href="https://www.weather.gov/phi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. </p>



<p>Yesterday, a winter weather advisory expanded to include 16 New Jersey counties, warning residents of the potential slippery driving conditions, the National Weather Service continues.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The 16 counties under this warning are as follows:&nbsp;</p>



<ul><li>Atlantic county&nbsp;</li><li>Bergen county&nbsp;</li><li>Burlington county&nbsp;</li><li>Camden county&nbsp;</li><li>Cape May county&nbsp;</li><li>Cumberland county&nbsp;</li><li>Essex county&nbsp;</li><li>Gloucester county&nbsp;</li><li>Hudson county&nbsp;</li><li>Mercer county&nbsp;</li><li>Middlesex county&nbsp;</li><li>Ocean county&nbsp;</li><li>Passaic county&nbsp;</li><li>Salem county&nbsp;</li><li>Union county&nbsp;</li></ul>



<p>The exact times each county will be under winter watch is available on this NJ.com <a href="https://www.nj.com/weather/2021/02/nj-weather-snow-pushing-further-north-winter-weather-advisories-expanded-to-cover-16-counties.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>. </p>



<p>South Jersey will still receive a heavier band of snow, around four to six inches worth &#8212; an update from the previously expected one to three inches predicted in a previous NJ.com <a href="https://www.nj.com/weather/2021/02/nj-weather-snow-totals-up-to-6-inches-in-latest-forecast-for-2-rounds-of-winter-weather.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report</a>. </p>



<p>But wait &#8212; have you ever heard of how great things come in pairs? No? Well, a second storm is predicted to hit evening today to early Friday, picking up from the previous storm this morning, a tweet from News 12 <a href="https://twitter.com/JGodynick/status/1359551721832341506?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1359551721832341506%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nj.com%2Fweather%2F2021%2F02%2Fnj-weather-snow-predictions-from-11-weather-experts-ahead-of-2-quick-storms-by-friday.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>. </p>
