Camden County is continuing to monitor an approaching storm system that could bring sleet and snow to our region over the next two days. Work is already underway at the Camden County Department of Public Works to respond to the inclement conditions and keep traffic moving throughout the county.
“We are preparing for what is shaping up to be a long and complicated storm with higher accumulation totals than originally predicted,” said Freeholder Susan Shen Angulo, liaison to the department of public works. “Sleet arriving tomorrow will be followed by snow on Wednesday that could be heavy at times. At this point, there is a very real possibility of a half of foot of snow in our area before this weather event is over.”
