Lacey Hit Hard By Nor'Easter With Downed Wires, Power Outages

LACEY TOWNSHIP, NJ - Lacey police were kept busy during the Nor'easter answering 115 calls for service about downed wires, Lt. Paul Sullivan said.

Thirteen of those calls could be directly attributed to trees falling on the wires, he said.

Although there were no flooding complaints, police responded to 10 motor vehicle accidents over the duration of the storm, Sullivan said.

There were also a number of power outages, he said.

Lacey had 15 inches of snow, just below Berkeley Township's 15.5 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

Lacey schools closed on Wednesday and Thursday in advance of the storm. Trash and recycling pickups were also canceled for Thursday to free up public works employees for plowing. Pickups will resume again on the next regularly scheduled pickup day.
