New Jersey gets its first snowfall of the season: Two helicopters forced to do an emergency landing.

The fall foliage has added a new color to its palette in parts of northern New Jersey today: white. Inch counts have risen and storm predictions have grown more dire throughout the day as snow began to fall throughout the region this morning. The National Weather Service has dubbed today's Nor'easter an "historic early season snowstorm" for much of New Jersey, the Lower Hudson Valley and southern Connecticut.

As of noon today, State Police reported no serious, weather-related accidents. Bayonne Police said two small, private helicopters were forced to do an emergency landing in Mercer Park due to weather conditions. There were no injuries and no damage reported.
