State Of New Jersey Announces Delayed Opening For State Offices On Tuesday

TRENTON, N.J., (CBS) -- In order to allow ample time for roadways, parking lots and sidewalks to be cleared and made safe for travel, the State of New Jersey authorized a delayed opening of 11 a.m. for all non-essential state employees on Tuesday, February 17, 2015.

Essential employees should report to work on their regular schedule.

"This evening's storm is expected to bring snow and freezing temperatures into tomorrow morning across the state, creating potentially hazardous travel conditions for the morning commute," said Governor Chris Christie in a statement. "I encourage all New Jerseyans to exercise caution as they drive tonight and tomorrow morning and, if possible, to stay off the roads so our transportation crews can do their job."
