The National Weather Service has replaced the Storm Watch with a Blizzard Warning.
The Warning will be in effect from 8 pm this evening until 6 pm on Tuesday.
Heavy snow and strong winds are expected, with a total accumulation of 10-14 inches, the Service said.
Just when we thought we were getting away easy this year!!!

That’s the way I like it. Cold and snowy. Everyone be safe
Most weather stations are predicting at most 4-8 inches for Lakewood since there will likely be a changeover to rain and sleet at some point over the storm before it switches back to snow. I’m sure the roads will be a mess but don’t get hyped up over double digit snowfall predictions.
AccuWeather.com says 3-6 inches
the national weather service says a total of 8-14 inches. the sleet is only temperary and then turning back into heavy snow.
The reason for the discrepancy in the numbers is that there is going to be a very sharp cutoff in the snowfall totals and the weather models haven’t pinned down exactly where the deciding line may be. You could easily have Toms River getting 2 inches while parts of Freehold end up with 20. There could even be several inches difference between Raintree and Westgate. It’s a really close call….
The National Weather Service has just downgraded (3pm) the Blizzard Warning for our area, to a Winter Storm Warning, with expected snow accumulation of 4 to 6 inches.
