Well, looks like the “blizzard” was a “bust” here on LBI. The National Weather Service reports 4 inches of snow in Surf City and 3 inches of snow in Manahawkin.
Flooding was also minimal at this morning’s high tide.
The bay was high but did not over-top the
bulkhead at the end of Central Avenue, near
19th Street in Ship Bottom.
By noon most of the snow had melted
at the Ship Bottom Volunteer Fire Company.
There was still a little bit of flooding in the usual
low lying places such as the intersection of
West 25th Street & Central Avenue in Ship Bottom.
However, this is what most of LBI looked like today.
High and dry at the intersection of W. 20th Street
and Long Beach Boulevard in Ship Bottom.
Even the oceanfront was largely unaffected.
There was no dune erosion visible on East 20th Street
in Ship Bottom today.
