A powerful blizzard has transformed Philadelphia and South Jersey into a winter wonderland, with snow totals reaching over 27 inches in some areas. The storm has caused extensive power outages, and travel restrictions have been implemented as New Jersey is under a state of emergency. Many towns have reported significant snow accumulation, leading to school closures and transport disruptions, including suspended NJ Transit services. Governor Mikie Sherrill has urged residents to be cautious, highlighting the dangers presented by the severe weather. Despite the lifting of a travel ban, officials continue to advise against unnecessary travel as the region digs out from the heavy snowfall.
