Ocean City urges residents to stay home as crews battle storm

Ocean City, NJ – Snow removal crews are working around the clock in Ocean City as heavy accumulation continues to cover roadways, prompting police to urge residents to stay off the streets unless facing an emergency.

In a message issued Monday, the Ocean City Police Department said public works teams are actively clearing roads but described the effort as an uphill battle due to ongoing snowfall and difficult conditions.

Officials asked residents to avoid leaving their homes unless absolutely necessary, citing safety concerns and the need to keep roadways accessible for emergency vehicles and plow operations.

The advisory comes as parts of southern New Jersey remain under a travel restriction tied to the winter storm impacting the region.
