Snow predications are up to 18 inches, and here’s what Hudson County is doing to prepare for it
Updated Jan 31, 2021;
It’s been over a month since winter storm Gail blanketed Hudson County, and though the snow didn’t cause much destruction, the county is still bracing for the worst.
As of early Sunday, weather experts now predict that the pending storm can leave behind 12 to 18 inches of snow by the time it ends on Tuesday. Hudson County municipalities spent the weekend salting roads, prepping salt trucks and setting up warming centers to gear up against winter storm Orlena.
In Jersey City, crews have been brining roads with salt all weekend, city spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said. The city’s Department of Public Work’s Snow Operations will be staffed and actively monitoring the snowstorm.
