A neighbor sent some video and photos of a water main break on 17th Street in North Beach Haven.

This is something that you don’t see very often, a frozen bay.  The cold temperatures of December 2017 and January 2018 led to the bay freezing. Back in the 1970’s the bay froze enough so that some people were actually driving on the ice…. until they found the spots that weren’t frozen as hard as they thought.

A neighbor sent a few photos of my Mom’s house in North Beach Haven. He said the snow was really drifting. The Boulevard was clear in some spots and  you would come to a 5′ drift. The snowstorm was followed by some extremely cold temperatures. 

Throughout the summer season and especially in the fall, you can hear the roar of Jersey skiff and Garvey races on on the bay.

(January 2020) Long Beach Township is mailing Re-Entry Placards. These are vital if you want to gain access to the island after a disaster.  You should review the mailing address on file for your property and make sure you store the card in a safe place. 

The horrendous crawling traffic between LBI and the Parkway can be alleviated to some degree by the addition of a second causeway. 

The Oyster Creek plant is back to normal after reducing power due to an ‘unusual event’. This was due to unusually low tides. Apparently unusually low tides caused concern about the availability of coolant water. Power was reduced as a precaution

According to the NWS report,  here are the snowfall amounts from our last wonderful storm for Ocean County.

Apparently there was a hole in the decking in the eastbound lanes of the Manahawkin bridge. Supposedly repairs will be complete by Midnight Fri May 15 2015.
