Brick mayor John Ducey on Monday said public works crews are continuing to respond to the winter storm and monitor its progress.<\/p>\n

Plows have not yet been deployed, as the township cannot send them out until the snow depth has reached four inches. The long-standing policy in Brick is to prevent damage to both roads and trucks.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce it hits four inches, that\u2019s when we call out the plows and the contractors,\u201d said Ducey. \u201cAs soon as it hits that mark, we\u2019ll deploy everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far, he said, crews from the Public Works Department have been on call 24 hours per day and have already spread 250 tons of salt in order to keep roads safe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe guys are going out again overnight to salt again so in the morning it will be safer,\u201d Ducey said.<\/p>\n

The storm has also been causing flooding in bayside areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnywhere that floods has been experiencing high tides since Sunday morning,\u201d he said, which started with the recent full moon. \u201cAlso, the ocean waves are tremendous with this nor\u2019easter. They\u2019re all the way up to the foot of the dune.\u201d<\/p>\n
