Brick Township officials sent the township’s cadre of plowing equipment out to begin the process of making the roads drivable about 1 p.m.

An announcement on Facebook said the township has 78 pieces of equipment that will be out working on snow removal on the township’s 1,700 roads. It typically takes about 13 hours for the town to plow all of the roads once, officials have said.
