How Much Snow Will Moorestown Get?

MOORESTOWN, NJ — Snow has been falling across Moorestown and New Jersey for several hours. But how much will the township get?

The township and the western part of Burlington County were under a winter weather warning, with the National Weather Service calling for anywhere from 6 to 12 inches of snow. Strong winds are possible as well on the back end of the storm, the weather service said. The winter weather warning is in place through 7 p.m. Saturday

How much snow Moorestown gets will depend on where the line of heavy snow sets up, forecasters said, and the western edge of that was unclear.

Gov. Phil Murphy has declared a state of emergency that took effect at 5 p.m. Friday.

Moorestown police urged residents to avoid driving and make sure they clear vehicles and basketball hoops off the roads to allow for more efficient plowing.
