So I have declared a state of emergency in New Jersey and I've authorized early closing of government offices and the stagger dismissal of all non essential state please, beginning at 1 p.m. Today we want to get individuals home and off the roads as quickly as possible is, as you know, the storm will worsen as we get deeper into the day today and into the overnight hours had a resident band, cuts me and said, Are you worried about this storm?

And I said, This is my sixth winter is governor.

I've had double digit states of emergency imposed for snow.

We've had Hurricane Irene.

We've had Hurricane Sandy for better or for worse.

We know how to deal with these situations, and I feel completely confident that the folks behind me and all the people that work for them are prepared.

But you never know how bad these conditions air going.
