Yeah, that threat of ice coming after a lot of places saw a couple of inches of snow today. New Salt. New Jersey's Tony Caputo hopped out of Thunderbolt 12. You're in Jackson right now, Tony. What's the condition there? It's rain right now for the most part, that being said, it's going back and forth between that wintry mix and rain. We're along County Line road here in Jackson and vehicles making their way around. No problem. I don't see a lot of traffic out here today as well and that's certainly a good thing. Just stay home. And unlike other parts of our state in this area, you really don't even want to be out in this. It's just miserable. It's falling as rain right now. For the most part, it wasn't that long ago where I was in Thunderbolt 12 and I could hear the ice pellets hitting the car and then suddenly it changed again. It just seems to go back and forth between rain and then that sleet and that wintry mix that we've been talking about all morning long and, you know, might show you that map a little early where it really is. Just this battle that Mother nature is having with herself right now. 33 degrees, 31 degrees down to 30 degrees. What have you. And we're constantly seeing it as the rain is actually picking up as I'm speaking. Right. Rudy swinging around right here. Let's just show the rain pellets hitting the parking lot here. We're in the, uh, uh, Shoprite, uh, parking lot right now in the Jackson Plaza. And, I mean, look at that, that's just downright rain. That's ugly. Nobody wants to be out in that. Not even me and I get paid to do this stuff, but who wants to stand out in that old Rudy Bo doesn't even have a hat on. He's out here in all this. So we're gonna wrap it up because we need Rudy healthy to work the rest of this week too as these storms are getting out of hand here in Jersey. We're in one of those patterns that Mike has been telling us about. We'll keep bringing it to.

A couple of inches for much of New Jersey, but that ice threat remains a big part of the story at this hour. News. 12 New Jersey's Tony Caputo is in Jackson right now. Tony. The road's pretty slushy right there. Yeah, they are, uh, 537 just off interstate, 195. Uh, so many New Jerseyans familiar with this exit. It's for Six Flags. Great adventure. You come down here in the summer when it's nice out. Right. Well, if you come down here now, Mike had just talked about it, you know, the wintry mix, the around 32 degree temperatures right now. That's the concern. And since we've been here and I, I'd say we got out here about 830 or so and since we've been here, it's just kind of fluctuating if you will. And, you know, it seems to be, uh, some ice pellets are falling from the sky and then you have some rain that's falling from the sky. And, you know, one of the things that Lauren was talking about all morning up in North Jersey was how fluffy the snow was. You couldn't make a snowball. Rudy Bo come down here real quick. And if you grab this now, because of the moisture involved, you can make those snowballs. So, again, it's a packable snow at this point. And again, that's kind of changed since this morning. Even in, uh, you know, the Belmar area when we first got up this morning, Rudy keeps smiling. I'm not gonna hit you with it, buddy. Don't worry about it. We did that long ago. We're not gonna do that again. But at any rate, uh, you come walking through here and you make your way over to the parking lot area and when you look, I mean, that's just rain, right? You got some puddles there and the rain is falling. So right now, maybe it's just above that 32 degree mark, but that's what Mike is talking about. It could freeze up because we, the temperature just seems to be right on that line like it's a battle going on out here on where it's raining, where it's s leading where it's snowing and what's going to happen to, you know, parking lots and roadways. We've seen the crews, they've been icing doing everything they can or salting, I should say to keep that ice at bay. So, uh, folks who do need to be out here today can do so safely. You see a big plow truck here coming through, obviously, that plow is up. No need to have that down right now. But you see, look at that it's loaded with salt on the back of it just to get that down on the roadway, wherever it may be going to try and keep this ice at bay. So that's your concern. If you're out on the roadways, be careful because that's what you're going to be dealing with. If you're on a sidewalk or in a parking lot, be even more careful because there's probably less chance that that has been treated at some point today. That's the situation here in Jackson, in Ocean County. Right on that, uh, Monmouth County border.

At least a couple of inches of snow along the coast as we take a look at how the storm is impacting our communities here. News of New Jersey's Tony Caputo is in Thunderbolt 12 right now. So Tony, you're checking out Monmouth County. How are the roads looking? We're in Monmouth. Now, we're gonna get on 195 and head west towards the Trenton area. Uh, right now we're in that Asbury Park area and it's not too bad that the concern is what Mike was talking about with the wintry mix and the icing as we go to the dash cam here in Thunderbolt 12, uh, coming down to exit 100 or so just north of the Joyce. Uh, excuse me, Judy Bloom service area. And, uh, again, Rudy's telling me he's doing the driving photojournalist, Rudy boat. He says so far good, the, the vehicles holding the road and that's good. It's built to do so. But again, we're concerned about this wintry mix and being right around 32 degrees right now. So we may see some of that icing start to build on the roadways and, and that is a concern regardless of where you're traveling or if you're out on your front step as we go to the roof cam here in Thunderbolt 12, we'll clean that up for you with the windshield wiper. But again, uh, that's just gonna kind of keep getting wet as that mix continues to fall. So we'll go back to the dash cam as those wipers, uh, give us a little cleaner shot as we go. So this is the situation regardless of where you are in the state. Although Mike was saying you might get those snow squalls in some parts where you have a little more snow on the ground right now. But the slick roadways very much concerned right around that free. We're selling 32 degrees right now. Uh, so we're right on the button as far as freezing is concerned. So, be careful if you are heading out on the roadway.

There is snow accumulating along the coast this morning. News of New Jersey's Tony Caputo is in Asbury Park this morning, Tony. How's it looking out there? You get closer to the ocean. You feel the wind, the wind really picks up and Mike hit it right on the head this morning. I mean, light flurries now, if anything falling here in Asbury Park, right. A convention hall, I mean, you look down at not a whole lot of accumulation, maybe a couple of inches here. Not too bad. So if you like your snow and you like getting out for your walks and you like a good brisk wind. Well, this is the place you want to be. There's no doubt about that. It is really pretty. I mean, swinging it around here, you got, uh mcclune Supper Club and then the Wonder Bar across the street, obviously. And, you know, here in Asbury Park, you can't beat it any time of year, but right now with the snow on the ground and the flurries that continue to fall just really looks. But something to keep in mind. Uh, we've had, we've seen a couple of joggers out here making their way out. They're not gonna miss that early morning run. So, uh, they are still trying their best to get it done. As you see a lot of the footprints that were not made by us and getting people out here on this chilly Tuesday morning where it looks like the snow has let up the, the big concern in this part of our state, the freezing over as folks get up, you get a lot of school delays in this part of our state. Make sure you go to News twelve.com or the News 12 app to check on your school district and what your situation may be as far as delays are concerned, maybe even closed. See how that plays out as the morning progresses, continue to update that. But watch out for any icing because again that wind coming off the ocean, we're feeling it, it's cold. So be careful whether you're walking, whether it's your front steps, whether you're driving, no matter what the situation icing could be a concern.

Let's head over to county. That's where you saw New Jersey's. Tony is Tony. I saw you posting those pictures on social media at two o'clock this morning and it looks like you got more than an inch of snow there. Absolutely. More than an inch of snow. I'm saying a little closer to three but Mike, uh do that for us a little bit later as the morning progresses, you know, we're in thunderbolt 12 as well inside the car, but not moving at the moment. This is a shot of 17th Ave, uh, right on that wall Lake Como border and you can see the roads are primarily snow covered. I saw one plow go down. Uh, it's not so deep that they have to consistently plow. Uh It's also a recycling pickup day in some parts. So the plow has been going around the cans like Laurence said, I've been up since, you know, two in the morning, uh, watching what's going on, clearing cars, things of that nature. We stopped here because if you look over there, that's, uh one of the Lake Como DPW yards. And as we went by, uh, photojournalist Rudy Bode, our driver this morning, you could see some of their plow trucks getting all fired up, ready to go to come out here and clear the roads. Go ahead. Rudy hit the gas and let's, uh, move along here and switch back to our dash cam. And again, you know, it's no real issue holding the road at this point. That being said, you're going to run into your issues, depending on what kind of driver you are, where you have to drive those driving around you. Let's try and be courteous of everybody. Not everyone may drive as well in snow as you do. This may get a little icy as the morning progresses, you may get that wintry mix going as we come out to route 71 here. Uh, again in that Belmar Lake Como area. So keep it slow, take it easy. You get out to the bigger road here and again, you're seeing some black top. That's good. My bigger concern is the icing what we might see as the morning progresses. If we get that wintry mix, we may see that icing. You see the roadway there. Look at that, that's a nice glare there. It's wet that could get icy. Let's take it easy. Again, if you have the big pickup truck and you feel a little more confident than the smaller car in front of, you cut them a break, uh Take it easy. Let everybody get to where they have to go on this snowy Tuesday morning. We're live in thunderbolt. 12 in Belmar now on main street, Tony Caputo News. 12, New Jersey.
