New Jersey will remember this one.

The Garden State is in for a potentially record-setting two to three feet of snow after a slight jog north in the track of an approaching coastal storm has put the state right in the center of a major blizzard.

Gary Szatkowski, meteorologist-in-charge at the National Weather Service's Mount Holly office, said the storm will likely set the bar for future storms.

Forecasters now say between 20 and 30 inches of snow is likely for much of New Jersey, with pockets of local accumulations up to three feet possible where the heaviest bands set up.

"A good portion of the state has already had a foot or more and there's likely another foot coming on top of that," said Rob Reale of WeatherWorks. "We're going to see a lot of 24 inch totals and a few areas could top out over 30."

Record-setting coastal flooding has already occurred in Cape May, where streets and buildings were inundated with seawater this morning, while moderate to major flooding sent sea water streaming down business centers of many coastal communities. The storm is expected to cause three to five feet of storm surge during tonight's high tide as well.

"There have been huge problems down there, and the next high tide, or really the next two, are something we're still very concerned about," Reale said.

A hurricane force wind warning is in effect from coastal areas from Manasquan Inlet to Cape May, where winds could gust over 75 miles per hour today.Winds have already caused at least 100,000 power outages around the state -- a threat forecasters say will continue throughout the day.

The snow will undoubtedly challenge local and state records for accumulations. Some areas in South Jersey may receive an entire season's worth of snowfall in one storm.

Needless to say, there is almost no reason for anyone to be traveling today in New Jersey.

If you don't need to be traveling out there, then don't. First responders have to be out there; don't make them come to rescue you. — Gary Szatkowski (@GarySzatkowski) January 23, 2016
