The morning commute was moving slowly in New Jersey on Monday, as a winter storm continued to drop lots of snow across the Garden State.
More than 10 inches of snow was on the ground in Atlantic, Cumberland, Monmouth and Ocean counties by 7 a.m., with slightly lesser amounts in Cape May and Camden counties.
Many accidents and spinouts had occurred across the state as conditions continued to deteriorate, and a few thousand people were without power in central Jersey.
The snow had slowed down in some areas just before dawn, but another round of heavy snow was expected as the morning progressed.
Classes were canceled in dozens of school districts, and hundreds of arriving and departing flights at Newark Liberty International Airport had been canceled.
The weather spurred Governor Corzine to order a two-hour delayed opening for all state offices on Monday.
