Total snowfall depends on track of the storm
Ocean County escaped a Winter Storm Watch that is in effect for neighboring Monmouth County, however forecasters are still predicting a strong coastal storm will affect the region later this week. According to the National Weather Service, the storm will likely develop near the Carolinas during the day Thursday and work its way to our area through Friday night. The storm will likely bring a mix of potential snow, sleet and rain as it moves on its path. The amount of snow could vary depending on the track and speed of the storm but the most recent forecast predicts between 2 and 6 inches in Ocean County. The heaviest snow will likely fall in northwestern New Jersey and into the Poconos according to the watch. The concern in the Shore area…

The ocean breached the dunes in seven places – from Lyman Avenue to Downer Avenue – during Wednesday's coastal storm, the Mantoloking Office of Emergency Management has confirmed. "Ocean water pushed through and brought significant amounts of water and debris onto Route 35," the borough's OEM office reported in a post to its Facebook page. After the ocean breached, the wind shifted to the southwest, causing "significant" bayside flooding, the office said. Flooding reached the top step of the borough hall building on Downer Avenue and was measured at 2.9 feet above normal at Old Bridge Street. "We need to see what happens during the next two tidal cycles to see about access [Friday]," the post said. A determination on access for borough …

The midday high tide Thursday caused water to overflow bulkheads in some Brick Township neighborhoods, but no one had to be rescued and there were few reports of water intruding into residential homes. Some streets, but not all, in the Shore Acres neighborhood were under water, and bay water was overflowing the lagoon along Paul Jones Drive in that area. Most streets, however, remained passable. It was a similar story in the Cherry Quay section, where many streets were under water, but generally passable. In Seawood Harbor and off St. Lawrence Boulevard, there was no obvious flooding, though it was clear the neighborhood had seen some very minor tidal flooding earlier judging by a small amount of debris in the road. Mayor Stephen C. …

As the latest in a string of coastal storms began to bear down on Brick Township, officials were asking residents of some neighborhoods to be prepared to evacuate. Residents in areas that are prone to flooding, which include all areas east of Old Hooper Avenue; and Princeton Avenue, east of Beaver Dam Road "are strongly encouraged to make preparations and evacuate the area prior to 8 p.m. this evening," said Brick Police Sgt.

That swath of land includes the mainland areas hardest hit by Superstorm Sandy, including Shore Acres, Baywood and the streets off St. Lawrence Boulevard. Residents were also being encouraged to move their vehicles to higher ground, Reinhard said. "Residents …

Boro wants those in low-lying or waterfront areas to leave
If you flooded before, if you live on any waterway or in a low-lying area, you should leave for the next two days, says Point Borough. Councilman Chris Leitner issued the following statement in an email Tuesday evening, indicating the warning is in effect from Wednesday through Thursday: "The Borough strongly advises residents consider evacuating during the anticipated storm, especially those in areas prone to flooding," Leitner said in an email. "Under normal circumstances, this would be just another bad storm, but in our weakened state following Hurricane Sandy, we expect greater than usual flooding, additional loss of power and wind damage," Leitner wrote. "Please note debris may become dangerous projectiles during the high winds. …
