The first blizzard of 2018 has hit certain parts of New Jersey quite hard.

The first major snowfall of the winter made for a messy, slow morning commute on Thursday.

A tractor trailer fire on Route 295 claimed one life early Thursday.

Police are looking for help finding teenager Emily O’Connor, who has been missing since Tuesday.

New Jersey is in a cold snap, and many ponds, lakes and streams have frozen. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re safe to skate or walk on.
