Winter Warning in Effect in Hoboken; Governor Calls State of Emergency

Snow was expected to keep falling until 3 a.m. on Sunday, totaling a potential three to seven inches, according to the National Weather Service, in this season's first—and fairly unexpected—snow. A winter storm warning also remained in effect.

Around 7:30 on Saturday night, Gov. Chris Christie declared a state of emergency, because of severe weather conditions. "Please stay off the roads," the governor wrote on Twitter.

Due to delays, NJ Transit was cross honoring all tickets on Saturday night.

And for those who don't want to wake up to a winter wonderland before Halloween, worry not: this week is expected to be crisp, sunny and dry.

The National Weather Service's forecast:

Tonight: Snow, mainly before 3am. The snow could be heavy at times. Some thunder is also possible. Low around 28. Blustery, with a north wind between 21 and 24 mph, with gusts as high as 55 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.
