Spring snow starts the week
The cold winter weather is not done with our area yet as the National Weather Service is predicting a chance of rain and snow to fall from Sunday night possibly into the day on Tuesday. According to the NWS a Winter Weather Advisory has been issued from 4 a.m. on Monday until midnight with as much as two to four inches of snow possible. Much of the accumulation is expected to stick to unpaved surfaces but that could still make for hazardous conditions on the roads. Those along the coast could be in for another hit as the National Weather Service has issued a Coastal Flood Advisory as well. The advisory will be in effect from 6 to 10 p.m. Monday. With high tide occuring between 7 and 8 p.m., widespread minor tidal flooding is expected. …

The National Weather Service is predicting about an inch of snow will accumulate in the Shore area Saturday. An area of low pressure to the south of the region will bring a period of rain and snow, and accumulations will range from a half-inch to an inch of snow depending on the storm's exact track, the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly said. Saturday's high temperature is expected to be 38 degrees. A flood warning also remains in effect for rivers and small streams in Ocean County, related to Wednesday's rain storm. That warning is set to expire Saturday morning at 11:30 a.m. The sun will return on Sunday, predicted to be a breezy day with a forecast high of 37 degrees

Approximately 5,839 residents are without power after yesterday's nor'easter, according to JCP&L
This morning, Lacey residents woke up to snow, slick roads and widespread power outages. Although the roads were a “mess” this morning with traffic issues due to the road conditions, they are now “passable and in good condition” with the exception of many down wires and tree limbs, Township Administrator and Municipal Clerk Veronica Laureigh said. “Residents need to be careful when driving on the roads due to down wires and they may not be visible due to snow on some of the side streets,” she said. Last night, a portion of Lacey Road west of the parkway had to be closed due to a tree across the road. “The trees are brittle and heavy from the snow,” she said. As a result, there are more power outages. JCP&L is reporting approximately 5,839 …

First snowfall of the season hits Ocean County
The first snowfall of the season is accumulating on local grounds and as a result, power outages are returning to the area. "The snow is coming down here in Lacey," Township Administrator and Municipal Clerk Veronica Laureigh said. "As the temperature is dropping we do see areas becoming slick. We have salt spreaders on a few vehicles to address intersections and heavily travelled areas." Temperatures near freezing will make for slippery roadways, the National Weather Service advised. "In addition, the wet snow sticking to all services is knocking down some tree limbs and power lines. This is leading renewed power outages across the region," the weather warning said. Renewed power outages are being reported by residents throughout Lacey …

National Weather Service predicting various amounts depending on location
It looks like Monmouth and Ocean Counties should see a storm starting Friday night, and lasting all day Saturday, that could deliver as little as a dusting and as much as two inches of snow - depending on your location. The National Weather Service is predicting the storm could deliver close to half an inch of snow before the sun comes up tomorrow across much of the area. The snow should continue until around 1 p.m. when warmer temperatures should result in a shift to rain. Snow accumulations for Saturday could be as high as two inches depending on the location. Farther south, the storm is expected to make much less of an impact. The National Weather Service is calling for little or no accumulation tonight in Barnegat. The storm should …

Main roads largely clear in the township as rain started falling
Lacey residents woke up to a little over an inch of snow and slushy roads Saturday morning, but with the precipitation now coming down as rain, there may be barely enough for snowballs by midday. Public works crews began salting the roads at approximately 4 a.m. this morning and were done by 9 a.m., Mayor Mark Dykoff said. "We didn't have to do any plowing," he said. "Basically mother nature is doing our work for us." Salting was used as a preventative measure but most of the snow has started to dissolve due to the rain, he said. The switch to rain came later in towns further north. Followers of Jersey Shore Hurricane News, the Facebook group that proved the usefulness of social-network weather reporting during Irene last summer, have …

Winter weather advisory in effect for Ocean and Monmouth into tomorrow
Ocean and Monmouth counties can expect up to 3 inches of snow within the next 36 hours, meteorologists say, but warming temperatures are expected to change the precipitation to rain as the approaching storm winds down. A winter weather advisory will be in effect for both counties from 1 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday, said meteorologist Kristin Kline of the National Weather Service's Mount Holly station. At the Shore, the snow "will begin after midnight tonight and continue through the early part of tomorrow morning," Kline said. "Then it's going to change over to sleet, and there may even be a brief period of freezing rain." (The difference? Sleet falls as frozen precipitation – think tiny ice pellets bouncing off your windshield. Freezing …

After being teased with near 70 degree temperatures last week, we will get another quick reminder that winter is not over yet. This is what we can expect throughout the remainder of this winter season as warm weather teases are followed quick cold blasts with minor snow accumulations. Monday will start off with light rain in the morning. Some mixed precipitation may occur during the overnight hours but this should not be a big disruption for the morning commute. Tuesday morning may be a bit more dicey. Our area may face accumulations of 1-to-3 inches of snow Monday night through Tuesday morning. I am leaning more toward 1 inch of snow unless the precipitation from this storm is able to make its way further north. This will be more of a …
