Roads

As the first storm of 2015 dumped half a foot of snow or more in most areas of Ocean County, ironically enough most of us are feeling relief. Relief that it wasn't that two feet or more that it could have been. But wet roads throughout the area are still concerns for travel throughout the county.

I've lived in 4 different states and worked in two more in my life. Each deals with winter weather differently. Here are my thoughts on how they each handle storms:
