How Much Snow Did Lacey Get?

LACEY, NJ — A day after a nor'easter dumped as much as 21 inches of snow in New Jersey, cleanup work is ongoing including in Lacey Township on Sunday.

Plow crews were working through the night Saturday into Sunday to get the roads cleared. More than a foot of snow fell in Lacey, with 17 inches in Forked River and 15 in Lanoka Harbor, according to totals reported to the National Weather Service.

The roads were expected to freeze up overnight, and authorities urged people to stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary, officials said.

If you waited until Sunday to shovel, remember to push the snow instead of lifting, and drink plenty of water. Remember to shovel out around any fire hydrants near your home.

And dress warmly as temperatures were set to drop into the single digits overnight and were expected to stay cold for the start of the day.
