TRENTON - As roads are cleared and the snow from the blizzard has stopped, the states of emergency put in place in Princeton and Trenton are scheduled to be lifted Sunday morning.
Trenton Mayor Eric E. Jackson is scheduled to lift the capital city's state of emergency and travel ban at 11 a.m., city spokesman Michael Walker said.
And in Princeton, the snow emergency was lifted at 9 a.m.
Both towns say that significant street clearing is still to be done, but residents are no longer banned from travel in either Mercer County municipalities.
In Princeton, street snow removal is being hampered by the residents blowing driveway snow into the streets, officials said.
"Residents and commercial snow clearing crews are reminded not to plow or blow snow into public roadways,'' according to an alert sent to Princeton residents.
In Trenton, where residents were forced to park in school parking lots to keep streets clear for snow removal crews, officials expect to clear those school lots today, Walker said.
Walker said city officials are monitoring social media and are responding to requests for snow removal as resources are available.
State Office of Emergency Management spokeswoman Laura Connolly tells us New Jersey remains under a state of emergency while crews get the roads cleared.
"There is no travel ban, but we ask people please stay off the roads and use caution if they do have to get on the roads," she said.
As of 7 a.m., State Police had responded to 262 accidents and 1,455 requests for motorist aid on the state's highways.
