The (latest) blizzard of the winter of 2010 is already well underway in Belmar, with several more hours to go. DPW crews worked overnight to keep the streets clear and to stay ahead of the storm, which will likely rage for the rest of Saturday. Fresh crews will be brought in once the end of the storm is in sight, and will work through the night to clear Belmar’s streets.

So far, it’s an unusual snow storm, and appearances are deceiving.

This view of Belmar's Doughboy monument was taken this at 9 a.m. February 6, 2010 via the Belmar.com webcam on the roof of the Belmar Senior Citizens Building at 8th and Railroad Avenues.

Because the snow is very light, areas exposed to the ferocious northerly wind appear to have little accumulation. In areas shielded from the northerly wind, accumulations appear to be roughly 6-8 inches (at least in my back yard) as of 10:00 a.m. Saturday morning.

Today is a good day to stay indoors and watch the storm via the streaming webcams on www.Belmar.com/webcams.
