Christie Returning To New Jersey From Trail
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — The latest on the heavy snowfall expected to hit New Jersey. (all times local)

Republican Gov. Chris Christie says he will return to New Jersey from the presidential campaign trail to deal with a potentially dangerous snowstorm that has much of the state under a blizzard warning.
Christie said Friday he was canceling campaign events Friday and Saturday because of the weather, but New Jersey's first lady Mary Pat would stay in New Hampshire.
Christie was scheduled to remain in New Hampshire through the weekend, when the bulk of the storm was expected to dump up to 18 inches of snow on parts of New Jersey.
He has said he was closely monitoring the storm from New Hampshire, held Cabinet meetings by phone and that the state was making all necessary preparations.
Christie's decision comes as he criticizes GOP rivals, like Sen. Marco Rubio, for missing keys votes in the Senate.
