Countdown

THE COUNTOWN is on, are you ready?  Here's a friendly reminder!

As we get closer to the first weekend of May 2016, it's hard to believe that today, May 5th, marks the halfway point through spring!

When I thought about putting together a countdown for Memorial Day Weekend 2016, I thought that it might be silly since it's so far away. But in reality, it actually isn't.

As most of us are still digging out from nearly two feet of snow, we are still smack in the middle of winter here in Ocean County. But one of the true signs of spring - baseball season, isn't all that far away. So we've created a countdown clock to bring us right up to the first pitch of The Lakewood BlueClaws season, on April 7th at 7:05pm. Keep tabs here!

The Garden State's experts count down the most memorable meteorological milestones of the year.

As the year comes to a close, we take a look back at what the biggest Ocean County stories of 2013 were. Check out our countdown (you can click any headline to see the original stories):
