Parts of the Jersey Shore saw its biggest snowstorm in four years.

Up to 9 inches of snow fell in Howell, keeping the Department of Public Works busy for a second day of clearing away snow and ice.

A bitter blast of cold air followed Sunday’s snowfall, which meant salt trucks were working overtime.

“We’ve kind of got a ‘worst-case scenario’ we go with, because you always know it’s going to be different,” said Brian Greenfield, the director of Howell Township Public Works.

A heavy band of snow hit the Jersey Shore just before Sunday’s storm pulled away, leaving behind up to 9 inches after a forecast called for much less.

“Got everybody out on the roads salting, and it kept coming harder and harder. It wasn’t ending,” said Greenfield.

Keeping up with a rapidly evolving snowstorm is no easy task, especially in Howell Township. Plow trucks have to manage more than 500 miles of township-controlled roads.

“We’re going to do a lot of cleanups today. Salting down icy spots, pushing back some of the roads, helping residents out who had an issue during the storm and just taking calls,” said Greenfield.

Howell local Steve Anzevino is proud to be “that guy” - the cargo-shorts-wearing-thinking-of-summer-year-round-dude – but also thankful for the efforts of his public works department.

“Right now, in this neighborhood, it seems pretty good. Everyone has to go to work today, so it’s good to see that,” said Anzevino.

Which is why Greenfield and his team worked non-stop, handling the extra snowfall and clearing the roads before everything froze solid.

“Nobody had any issue getting out there and just taking the bull by the horns and getting the job done,” said Greenfield.

“I’d rather be down in Florida in the heat,” said Anzevino.
