blizzard

The snow continues to fall, winds are picking up and roads are nearly impossible to navigate to start the day on Saturday as a Blizzard barrels its way across the state of New Jersey.

Weather can be very unpredictable and while it's been a while since parts of the state, especially many Shore areas, have seen a good 3-4 foot snowy blizzard, there is more than just that kind of storm to prepare for this winter in what are a lot of unknowns.

Wonder where Blizzard got his name, here is his story.

When you look outside the leftovers from that early January blizzard are still on the ground, but the cost of cleanup for Ocean County roads from that storm may surprise you.

Roads are treacherous and visibility is even worse which is why Toms River Police and every other agency continues stressing to motorists the message of staying off the roads during the storm today.

Growing up, I remember snow days meant chicken noodle soup with saltine crackers. And hot chocolate was served after we'd come in from sledding or playing in the snow. Grilled cheese with tomato soup is served in many New Jersey homes on a day like today. Pancakes, chili, chicken pot pie, lasagna, hot apple cider...those are some other favorite dishes that you might be enjoying during the blizzard.

As snow conditions continue to worsen well into the afternoon today with this January Blizzard officials across the Shore are updating us on what's going on out there.

Saturday November 11th, 2017 is Veteran's Day.  Dairy Queen in Toms River is saying, "Thank You" in a "sweet" way.

Meteorologist Dan Zarrow has tweaked his forecast for Tuesday's storm, and is now predicting less snow and more mixing for the immediate coast, but these areas are still under a blizzard warning. Some listeners asked why the blizzard warning if some areas won't see that much snow, and there's an easy answer!

I'd love for you to read this blog post after you've read the more important ones and feel like you're really prepared for the storm.  Once you've done your shopping, filled your tank, and charged your devices I'd like you to think about what you'd like to get done tomorrow...
