Winter storm: NYC, NJ get snow, falling temperatures

NEW YORK - A winter storm dumped roughly three inches of snow across New York and New Jersey Sunday, with some areas seeing as much as five inches. 

Snowfall began early Sunday morning, with most of the heaviest snowfall falling in Sussex and Warren Counties. 

A winter weather advisory remains in effect for most of Nassau and Suffolk Counties, as the storm continues to make its way out of the area.

Temperatures will see a major drop on Sunday, falling into the 20s and 30s.

The New York City Sanitation Department has issued a Winter Operations Advisory beginning at 12:00 a.m. Sunday morning. Salt spreaders will be on the roads to keep streets clear and limit accumulation.
