Get your shovels and boots ready – or better yet, you may want to stay home tomorrow night with theย amounts of snow headed our way.
According to the National Weather Service, Lakewood could get up to 24 inches of snow in a stormย tomorrow night, into Tuesday.
“While there is still uncertainty as to the track and ferocity ofย a developing nor`easter late Monday, there is little doubt that snow will affect travel monday in much of our area,” says the Service. There isย potential for a foot or more of snow Monday night from Northern New Jersey northeastward into parts of New England.”
Aย Blizzard Warningย remains in effect from Monday afternoon through Tuesday evening.
Snow begins near dawn Monday and should slow the morning commute. The much more important portion of this storm begins sometime monday afternoon or evening thenย eventually winds down midday Tuesday.
Winds expected to beย 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph.ย Temperatures expected to be in the mid 20s to lower 30s.

westgate is out of power!
Not sure how you got to lakewood from the national weather services post. They said northern New Jersey and northeastward… Lakewood is central to southern New Jersey.
the computer weather models have been showing this since yesterday. actually a few of them are showing 20-30 inches for lakewood, but who’s counting?
Winter storm watch upgraded to blizzard watch for lakewood.
Be proactive, plow now!
Can the snow be pushed off until next week? It just isn’t convenient right now.
the projection for ocean county is listed in the article. north Jersey is possible to get even more. no one knows what will actually be but all weather services are projecting about 6in minimum in our areas
if the townships response is anything like yesterdays were really in for the long haul
National Weather Service updated to 10 to 18 inches.
LET IT SNOW
Generators anyone???
Gonna have to set an alarm clock for every hour to clear the snow off my tent… That’s why winter camping is called a sport! ๐
Do u tell g-d snow is not convenient? Whatever comes our way is good!
if you notice, the picture shown is of a state plow. there has never been a picture of a lakewood plow plowing.
Its about time!!!!!
Agree with Notsofast ,where were the trucks when the roads had snow on them yesterday afternoon , not at 9:30 last night when the snow was gone? When they went past my house the streets were dry.
The Pri magadim in Hilchos Arba Parshiyos (OC 685:4) brings down from the sefer Elya Rabba (ibid. 4) in the name of the Gaon Rav Eizak Darshan that when Rosh Chodesh Shevat falls out on Wednesday (as is the case this year 5775) and Gimmel Shevat falls out on Friday, it will be a very snowy and cold winter.

And dont forget to shovel
Actually its an ocean county road dept. Truck…see the yellow and blue paint
Alex liberman…u live in a tent with a computer? Wifi or you have a loooonnnggg plug? Maybe cable delivers to the woods? Oh right. You get arrested once a week and use the prison computer on our tax money
The township needs to enforce the laws regarding people and institutions that are too lazy to shovel their front sidewalks and thereby endanger the lives of pedestrians. Last year I saw many citizens forced to walk in the cleared roadway while cars sped by because certain sidewalks were impassable because the property owner didn’t care to clear his sidewalk.
Any update on school closings? They’re telling us all to stay home – what about the kids?
I think lakewood township is shomer shabbos so tomorrow storm they should be ok with clearing!
Where can I get Sale now?
were getting 3 inches
I love the snow then I don’t have to work
Stop kvetching…
Some people will always complain about this sort of thing. Why don’t they get it? Its usually counterproductive to complain. Maybe I just don’t get it….
Let them start plowing now. I’m tired of the excuses my children need to go to school tomorrow so the busses better be running
Hey Buddy!
When was the last you shoveled your walkway ?
When are the sheeple in this town going to rise up and demand more for our taxes from the department of public works the job they do during snow storms is horrendous! All you need to do is drive thru Lakewood and compare the state and county roads to the township roads and you will see for yourself!!!
They need to have early dismissel of school tomorrow so all the bus drivers can get home safely too. Remember when your kids are home they are still on the road then they also have to drive home
If schools aren’t closed hope they use early dismissal for safety of busses and staff. Many schools are starting to list early dismissals on channel 4,7 and 12. Let’s hope Lakewood makes the right decision
Don’t forget to shovel around your garbage bin if you want it to get picked up.
All gas stations on route 9 have long lines
Just saw on my tablet on channel 12, 314 schools are having early dismissal, guess they care about their students and staff and want to see that they get home safely. Lakewood used to care but lately I don’t know what they are thinking when it comes to safety. I would rather have my child home early than worry about them in a bus on slippery roads.
Hhiapos, your comment sounded like a threat!
right cause lakewoods school board has everyone’s best interest in mind. If it’s as serious as they say then close the school. Bad enough that there’s certain people out on the roads endangering the lives of others.
Dear Chaveirim
As I would not even want to take my car out, and be safe, I was wondering the following;
Instead of Chaveirim being busy digging out cars from driveways or streets, Provide mass transit bussing! We will then all be able to go to Yeshiva, Satmer, shopping, Simchos, etc…
Surely emergency vehicles, & thoose with special needs will be accomadated better. May Hashem wach over us, just as it is in his hands that this storm go out to the sea.
Does anybody know why the school district in Lakewood is not running on early release like the rest of the surrounding districts?
Lakewood BOE will not issue an early release because the Jewish population does not want their whole broods home with them for hours on end. Nevermind the concern for the safety of public school kids or faculty/staff of their district.
Probably because some people think their kids can’t miss any school. You can always make up time later in the year. Sure hope they close school tomorrow. If people don’t care about the safety of their own think of others. If there are accidents on dry roads ,what about snow covered slick roads?
Lakewood Board of Education has not decide on an Early release yet. What are they waiting for. Please the bus drivers do not want to be driving in this weather. it seems like Lakewood doesnt care.
Please credit each comment with the correct writer. I did not write the comment with which I was credited.
Not sure why they had school today. They knew there would have to be early dismissal.
Thanks to all the bus drivers for working in this weather and for getting our children home safely.
Your garbage cans should not be on the roads. They are to be taken off the street after pick-up. Another rule people of Lakewood don’t follow.
Your children don’t need to be in school during weather such as this. When “everybody” is told to stay off the road, that includes parents driving children to Yeshiva. What part of “everybody” is so difficult to understand?
