storm was on new england as anticipated, boston, one of the spots that got the worst of it with more than a foot the of snow on the ground so far, and it continues to snow there. when it comes to our area, the heaviest snow was to the east. meteorologist justin drabick is live with the cbs-3 mobile weather lab in toms river ocean county justin? >> reporter: good evening, chris. the that is right ocean county was one of the hardest hit area in central new jersey and for our area you can see decent amount have of snow it's ground. i have a ruler here. this isn't the best way to measure snow he but unfortunately everything is clear. there has been a lot have of blowing, drifting going on right now but we will take a measurement right here. couple spots in the grass to make sure everything is good. that is about five and a half inches. that does make sense but it depend where do you your measuring because of the blowing, drifting here. storm did track farther east keeping most of the heavy snow off shore but as you can see there was plenty of snow around toms river to shovel. the ocean county resident spent much of the day
