Cherry Hill Has NJ's Highest-Reported Snowfall Total

CHERRY HILL, NJ — A Cherry Hill neighborhood has New Jersey's highest-reported snowfall total from the winter storm.

Greentree received 3.5 inches of snow as of 5 a.m. Tuesday — tied for the state's greatest measurement — according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

That would exceed Cherry Hill's snowfall from all of last winter by at least seven-fold. Less than a half-inch of snow fell in the township during that time, according to the state climatologist's office.

The NWS snowfall reports reflect measurements as of late Tuesday morning.

Riverside (Burlington County) and South River (Middlesex County) also showed 3.5 inches of snow. Wall Township in Ocean County trailed with 3.4 inches.

The totals are subject to change, especially with forecasters predicting additional snowfall in the afternoon.

A winter weather advisory is in effect until 4 p.m. Tuesday, with the NWS predicting an additional inch of snow and a light glaze of ice during the afternoon. The advisory extends to Camden, Gloucester, Salem and northwestern Burlington Counties.

Drivers should plan for slippery road conditions that could impact the evening commute.
