New Jersey is still feeling the impact of the first winter storm of the season on Thursday morning with the suspension of most NJ Transit service and lots of school closings.

"Our nor'easter will finally wind down Thursday morning, although a shower or flurry and breezy conditions will remain possible through early afternoon," Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow said.

Many schools canceled classes for the day, although in a 2020 twist on the snow day many still held virtual classes while closing their buildings. Hamilton School Superintendent Scott Rocco tried to have the best of both worlds by holding a one session day of classes followed by fun in the snow.

"Your homework assignment is to go outside and to have fun. Go play in the snow. Help your mother and father shovel the snow, help a neighbor with the snow. Go sledding. Go make a snowman. Go enjoy the snow day," Rocco said in a video posted on the district website.

The jackpot in terms of snow accumulation was in Morris County with 10.4 inches in the Landing section of Roxbury Township in Morris County and Belvidere in Warren County. The Pellettown section of Frankford in Sussex County saw 9.6 inches, with 7 inches in Jackson and Carteret, according to the National Weather Service

Zarrow said the only big concern left is coastal flooding along the Jersey Shore.

"Widespread moderate flooding of tidal waterways is expected Thursday, with water levels up to 2 feet higher than normal. High tide for the oceanfront is around 9 a.m., and along back bays around noon," Zarrow said.
