While a large part of the state was covered in snow by Monday morning, many of the southern shore towns faced a different concern: coastal flooding brought on by a powerful nor’easter.
The first high tide Monday, which occurred around 9:30 a.m. in Atlantic City and around 11 a.m. in Tuckerton, brought moderate flooding to these and many other Jersey Shore communities. Numerous roads were flooded and impassable, prompting road closures.
Here’s what the snowstorm looks like in all 21 counties of N.J.

This week’s winter storm lived up to the forecasts, covering the northern part of New Jersey in up to 30 inches of snow, and causing costal flooding and fierce winds in the southern and costal areas of the state.
Images from all 21 counties show roads and cars buried, and quiet towns as it snowed for more than a full day with some still to come.
