NEW JERSEY – We're not going to get a winter blast that some may have expected to come by now. But some New Jersey commuters may have to tangle with rough commuting on Monday morning because of the weather.
The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather commute for Sussex County, which could get an inch of snow. The rest of the state, however, is expected to get rain that could cause some slippery conditions.
Indeed, rain is expected to start early Monday and last until Tuesday, at the earliest.
