PASSAIC, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Another storm is heading towards the Tri-State Area, which means there will be another mess to clean up.
In New Jersey, the snow has been piling up storm after storm.
Crews in Passaic have been going around and loading dozens and dozens of truckloads of snow since the big storm about two weeks ago.

Passaic is using four parking lots to store all the snow until it eventually melts.
“So we continue to treat the roads, but then the snow removal process becomes the challenge, of course. It’s one thing to plow the streets. It’s a whole other thing to pick up the snow and find somewhere we’re going to store it,” Passaic Mayor Hector Lora said.
In East Orange, many would-be parking spots are still buried in deep snow and have been for nearly two weeks.
In Paterson, some residents are using cones, chairs and just about anything to save coveted parking spots that were dug out after the first big snowfall.

New Jersey residents are preparing for yet another round of wintry weather, but some aren’t sick of it just yet.
“I’ve never wanted to live in Florida. I like different, you know, seasons. I like winter, I like spring, I like summer, I like fall, so you deal with it,” Passaic resident Brendalyn McKinney said.
Meanwhile, road crews across the Tri-State Area are getting ready to get back out there when the next wave hits.
CBS2’s Nick Caloway also spotted New Jersey DOT salt trucks heading out Saturday ahead of the storm, and plenty of roads here have already been brined.
While roads have been pre-treated, officials say they could become very slick overnight.
