A Sunday snow storm quickly created dangerous roads beginning at 1 p.m., but Brick Township began to plow and deice its local streets soon thereafter. The trucks continued to roll into Monday, according to the township.
Brick schools called a delayed opening for its staff and students on account of the weather, as did the Ocean County Vocational Technical School.
The township posted this message, announcing that trucks were rolling to deal with snowy conditions: "Driving conditions are very hazardous right now. Public Works is out treating neighborhood streets with an emphasis on intersections and hills. They will continue to treat streets as the storm progresses. Residents are urged to use extreme caution if you need to drive. Again, Township crews are out treating streets in neighborhoods. Nearly all main arteries in Brick Township are the responsibility of Ocean County and the State of New Jersey."
Overnight, snow turned to rain for Brick as contracted plows pushed around the accumulation in business parking lots. Nearly five foot high piles of snow lined parking medians in Brick Plaza thanks to the plows there.
