PHOTOS: So where the did the 18 plus inches of snow go? This morning the National Weather Service said “much of Eastern Pennsylvania and Parts of New Jersey were spared the high snowfall amounts.”
The numbers until late last night were still showing legitimate snowfall for the area, but that shifted during the night.
“A deep coastal storm offshore of New Jersey has passed further East than earlier forecasted,” says the Service. However, a good deal of blowing and drifting of earlier snow is expected today. Conditions are expected to improve this afternoon.
A Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 3 PM Tuesday.
New total snow accumulations stand at 4 to 8 inches.
Many Lakewood schools are closed today. Bais Faiga and the Cheder – the two largest schools – are closed. Check with your school.
As earlier reported, the travel ban has been lifted.
“New Jerseyans should continue to stay off the roads whenever possible throughout the day as transportation and public safety officials continue their work to clear the roadways from the snowfall,” the NJSP said. “New Jerseyans should abide by all traffic laws and be extremely cautious if they must travel today.”
Most of Lakewood’s main roads have been plowed, and crews are currently working on plowing the others.

Can someone post a list of schools open or closed today??
Mesoras Avos at 10am , no trans
Could someone explain to me why people get so upset when there are schools closed. The closures are usually for safety reasons. A day every now and then in winter isn’t going to destroy education.
Would like to thank the public works team as my block was beautifully plowed by 8 this morning.
People only get upset when schools are closed when we didn’t really get the snow that was predicted. When the parents still have to go to work and their kids are home it becomes a problem. For my part, I feel bad we didn’t get the snow that was predicted and get to stay home longer. But that’s because I don’t have a work conflict.
how is it that last night a state of emergency was declared, no cars on roads and yet some schools remained opened in Lakewood?
Where are the plows???
Plowing is horrible on local and county roads.
Haven’t seen a plow yet
No where to be found
My street never got plowed what is going on ???????
Serious question… Why is Lakwood the only town that never has a delayed opening? All surrounding schools do & I want to know why Lakewood does not?
I can answer your question, it is because the Private Schools don’t want delayed openings. Lakewood used to use delayed openings but this was before others made the decisions for public schools.
