TRENTON, N.J. — Gov. Mikie Sherrill on Monday lifted the statewide state of emergency declared ahead of this weekend’s severe winter storm, ending the order that had been in effect across all 21 counties.
The emergency, enacted through Executive Order No. 8 and effective at 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 24, was terminated at noon Monday with the signing of Executive Order No. 9, the governor’s office said.
“From the minute I was sworn in as governor, my Administration has worked to ready our state for this weekend’s severe weather. I want to thank all the workers across our state who responded to this weather event with urgency and seamless coordination, keeping New Jerseyans safe and warm during the worst storm we’ve seen in a decade. I also want to thank all New Jerseyans who made the smart decision to stay off the roads this weekend,” said Governor Sherrill. “The worst is over, but we are expecting bitterly cold temperatures throughout the week. Please continue to avoid unnecessary travel and be vigilant about ice.”
