TOMS RIVER, NJ – A weekend winter nor’easter with blizzard-like conditions ravaged the Jersey Shore Friday night into Saturday. The storm brought high winds, large snowdrifts, coastal flooding and made a nightmare out of the county road system. The coastal areas of Ocean County received the most snowfall, including Bayville, Brick, Toms River, Point Pleasant and Little Egg Harbor.
So much snow fell in Toms River, that the Bennett Indoor Sports Complex, more commonly known as the Toms River Bubble, partially collapsed under the weight of the snow, rekindling memories of 2012’s Superstorm Sandy when the same thing happened then.
Ocean County was the hardest hit of the northern shore region as snowfalls tapered as the storm headed northward.
