People stopped by their local hardware store to stock up on supplies like salt and ice melt.
"A lot of the contractors are watching and getting ready to prepare for the storm. A lot of the homeowners come in last minute," said David Reuben of Reuben Hardware in Vineland.
The shore is getting hit too.
"We are on the line for possibly 6-8" and possibly more. We are urging all residents to take this storm seriously," said Mayor Marty Small Sr.
Atlantic City officials held a news briefing Tuesday afternoon ahead of the storm.
They're asking residents to move their parked cars off of the streets to help out public works teams as they try to clear the snow.
"Please utilize the Wave garage," said Assistant Director of Public Works Ahmid Abdullah Sr. "So that public works can come straight through and clear the roads as soon and as fast as possible."
