Prepare Now For Latest Nor'Easter, Lacey Police Chief Says

LACEY TOWNSHIP, NJ - Township residents who live in low-lying areas and are worried about what flood waters could do to their vehicles are invited to park at Gille Park on Manchester Avenue in Forked River, Police Chief Michael C. DiBella said.

The invitation comes on the heels of the National Weather Service's issuance of both winter storm and coastal flood warnings. Expect rain, snow and sleet tonight with winds up to 39 miles per hour. Snow could be heavy at times on Wednesday, with accumulations of 3 to 7 inches during the day and another 3 to 5 inches possible on Wednesday night, the chief said.

Anyone who needs to park at Gille Park should park on the northernmost side, next to the playground, he said.

Please remove all parked vehicles and portable basketball hoops and garbage cans from the streets. Vehicles left in roadways may be ticketed and towed, DiBella said.
