Snowfall Not as Drastic as Initially Anticipated in Marlboro and Colts Neck

Wind is responsible for power outages in Marlboro and Colts Neck, but it's also responsible for pushing an impending nor'easter to sea.

On Tuesday, Marlboro and Colts Neck were forecasted to receive between 3 and 5 inches of snow. But the area woke up to green grass and black pavement.

Now, snow is forecasted to fall between midnight and 2 a.m. on Friday morning. However, meteorologists say temperatures won't drop enough to have initially forcasted significant accumulation on the ground.

The original 3 to 5 inch accumulation has dropped to between one and 3 inches, resulting in possible slippery conditions for the morning commute.

Motorists are still cautioned to use extra time on Friday morning for the commute.
