The National Weather Service has described the impending snowstorm heading for the Jersey Shore as
crippling and potentially historic.
The signs are ominous, wrote National Weather
Service Meteorologist Gary Szatkowski on Twitter.
The weather service expects as much as 3 feet of
snow to fall in areas of Monmouth County and as much
as 2 feet in most of Ocean County between today and
Tuesday.
A blizzard warning was issued for New Jersey on
Sunday, warning that heavy snow and high winds will
make travel hazardous if not impossible at times, this
evening and Tuesday.
Business was busy Sunday at County Line Hardware & Lawnmower of Jackson, said Martin Flemming
III, whose family owns the business. They called in all
of the employees they could, expanding their staff
from the usual three who work each Sunday to eight,
Flemming said.
Its a normal Sunday with a snowstorm coming, he
said, noting that the store was packed with customers
who were stocking up on rock salt and shovels and
seeking repairs on their snow removal equipment.
Light snow showers will move into the region from
the Ohio Valley early this morning, but a coastal storm
24-36
18-24
for most of Monmouth County
