New Jersey residents should be preparing for a rare second blizzard in less than a week that could drop a foot of snow or more throughout the state starting Tuesday, according to the latest forecast by Accuweather.com.

The storm headed for New Jersey is currently dumping snow on the Midwest and Plains today and should hit the east coast hard through Wednesday, Accuweather reports. The forecast calls for all of New Jersey and New York City to be blanketed as the one-foot predictions range from Delaware to Massachusetts.

The latest forecast comes in contrast to the blizzard Friday and Saturday that dropped more than two feet of snow in parts of Southern New Jersey, but largely spared northern portions of the state, with some locations getting just a dusting. Roughly 40,0000 New Jersey residents in Southern New Jersey remained without power today in the wake of that powerful storm.

Atlantic City Electric is receiving help from PSE&G, Orange & Rockland Electric, Con-Edison, JCP&L to restore power to those customers.

“We expect to restore power by late Tuesday to the majority of our customers, but we do expect there may be customers in the Cape May area still without power through the week. We are making progress though, and the numbers are coming down,” said Sandra May, a company spokeswoman.

Customers may call (800) 833-7476 to report power outages.
