South Jersey residents digging out from heavy snow

CHERRY HILL, N.J. (WPVI) -- It was heavy snowfall that many South Jersey residents haven't seen in years.

"It's a lot. We had like two years without this, and it keeps on coming," said Edward Maguire of Cherry Hill on Sunday.

For 5-year-old Anthony, it's the first time he's ever experienced a major winter storm.

He was bundled up and hard at work with his stepfather, Eric Easter, at their home on Valley Run Drive in Cherry Hill. This is their second shift outside, removing inches of snow from the car and the sidewalk.

"Might go to the park and might do some sledding. Once the work is done, we'll play and have fun," Easter said.

Meanwhile, crews are working around the clock to clear the wintry mix and treat the roads.

NJDOT deployed about 4,000 pieces of equipment, and the township's Department of Public Works is plowing in phases to make the streets safe.

"It is a very difficult storm, as you all know, because we've had snow and then we have had this ice," said Camden County Commissioner Jennifer Fleisher.

As the storm came to an end on Sunday night, many fear what Monday will bring.

"My husband has to work in the morning and he's worried about coming down these streets," said Alciam Terry of Cherry Hill.

A State of Emergency and several travel restrictions remain in effect. Drivers are urged to stay off the roads if possible.
