PSC&G is reminding everyone to be alert as we have our eye on that freezing rain and snow. And be sure to know how to report a power outage. Now outage tools will help you stay connected by sharing valuable information and status updates. Make sure to stay at least 30 feet away from downed lines and don't go near the pole or anything touching the line. And make sure to prepare yourself and your home by creating an emergency kit. Get a battery powered radio, alarm clock, flashlights and extra batteries. Conditions tonight will not make it easy to get in and out of Newark Airport. This as right in the middle of the return home from the travel season. Now looking at the story at Newark Airport, already troublesome for flyers. There are more than two dozen delays and more than 120 cancellations. Make sure to check with your airline before heading out the door. While millions of Americans will be flying home from their holiday destinations this year, AAA says more than 8 million travelers will take to the skies. That number, a first-time milestone. Over 190,000 New Jerseyans were expected to fly during the holiday travel season. Now this comes as round-trip domestic flights are up 7%, more expensive this holiday, averaging nearly $900. Well, if you take a road trip for the holidays, here are the times you should avoid on your way home. AAA says the worst traffic time will be today as everyone heads home. Leaving in the morning is the best strategy over the next couple of days.
