This looks to be the biggest storm by far of the winter so far, and it comes in the middle of March. This storm is nothing to play with and all preparations need to be finished by this afternoon caution officials.

The first winter weather storm of March comes a day after we saw highs reach the mid-60's in spots, but whatever snowfall we get today below freezing temperatures tonight could make for a messy Saturday morning commute.

The first big snowstorm of 2017 could potentially bring several inches of snow Thursday morning into afternoon across the shore and crews have already been preparing. This will be a post updated as information becomes available.

We slept through the night and woke up to about an inch or two of snow on Friday but, another round of this wintry weather is coming up on Saturday and crews in Ocean County are ready to go again.

While we can probably expect snowfall in the range of 1-3 inches between the overnight hours Thursday into Friday, Ocean County Emergency Officials have the trucks and snow-melting gear ready to go.
