No snow accumulation to report here on LBI; actually not much of a “storm” at all actually.

Today’s precipitation was mostly rain with snow mixed in on occasion – but it didn’t really stick.

Large snow flakes fall, but quickly melt, at Westbound Rt. 72 in Ship Bottom.

Unfortunately, the falling snow was not enough for a “snow day” to be called for LBI Schools.

High tide this morning brought some bay flooding in parts of the Island. Fortunately no damage to homes or businesses has been reported anywhere on LBI.

Flooding was mostly restricted to a four hour window around high tide with the Island high and dry throughout most of the day. High tide was 6:18am at the Causeway Bridge and 4:49am at the Beach Haven Coast Guard Station. High tide returns at 6:53pm at the Causeway Bridge and 5:24pm at the Beach Haven Coast Guard Station.
