Sleet, Snow and Ice Coming Our Way Wednesday

For the third consecutive day, residents in some parts of New Jersey can expect a rough ride to work when they wake up Wednesday morning.

A dangerous mix of sleet, snow and freezing rain has been predicted by the National Weather Service in Mount Holly. The snow may be heavy at times, and the accumulation of snow and ice buildup may lead to tree limbs falling on power lines. Power outages are a possibility. 

Another coastal storm may roll in Sunday into Monday, bringing with it the potential for significant snow.
