A vicious nor’easter that brought blizzard-like conditions and more than a foot of snow to New Jersey will force Seton Hall to close its campuses for a second consecutive day on Tuesday – though classes and University operations will continue remotely.
The storm, dubbed Winter Storm Orlena by weather watchers, dumped 12.5 inches snow on South Orange by noon on Monday and brought much of the region’s transportation system to a screeching halt.

“This is a big one and it’s going to be with us, we think, until tomorrow night,” Murphy said, adding, “The worst is yet to come.”
The governor gave an update on the storm at the Statewide Traffic Management Center in Woodbridge.

“I cannot be more forceful about this - unless there is a reason to be on the roads, do not be on the roads,” he said. “If you don’t need to be out. Do not go out. if you’re out now and you don’t need to be out, safely go back home.”
The snowstorm, which already had dumped several inches across the state, was picking up intensity Monday afternoon. If you don t need to be out, do not go out. If you re out right now and you don t need to be out, safely find your way home, lock the door, sit on the couch and stay home until further notice, Murphy said during a news conference at the Statewide Traffic Management Center in Woodbridge.
By being on the roads, Murphy said people are jeopardizing their own lives and the lives of emergency workers who have to be on the roads.
A state of emergency is in effect for the storm but it does not ban driving. The state had more than 3,000 pieces of plowing and salting equipment in use.
