Wyckoff PD Talks Snow Totals, Warns Residents of Frozen Pipes

Some areas in South Jersey received up to 6 inches of snow Tuesday, while the northern part of the state received much less.

So how much snow fell in Wyckoff exactly?

Wyckoff Police Chief Benjamin C. Fox says about 1.5 to 2 inches of “light powdery snow” fell in the Wyckoff area Tuesday morning, and luckily, there were no snow-related accidents.

“The nice part was that it was very easy to shovel,” Chief Fox said.

But the winter weather conditions aren’t quite over yet, as temperatures will drop to the teens after 6 p.m. today, which can result in another problem.

“The extreme cold has been the cause of frozen water pipes in homes that have burst,” Chief Fox said.

“With another run of subzero cold coming on Thursday and Friday, residents should take the opportunity to make sure that any water lines near outside walls are insulated or kept reasonably warm to prevent freezing,” Chief Fox said. “Outside water lines for hoses should be turned off inside of the home.”

Below is today’s forecast for Wyckoff, according to the Weather Channel:

• 11 a.m. - 18 degrees, feels like 9 degrees
• 1 p.m. - 22 degrees, feels like 16 degrees
• 3 p.m. - 25 degrees, feels like 19 degrees
