NJ Blizzard Photo Gallery: Ocean City

Even the most anti-winter residents can’t help but embrace the beauty of the season’s first snowstorm, blanketing the area with several inches of the white powder.

And in New Jersey, we’ve been pretty fortunate, not having to deal with winter’s harsher aspects until this late in the season.

So, with the season’s first major storm – which comes with blizzard-like conditions – there will be plenty of snowball fights, sledding, and snowman-making around town. And we know you’ll be taking photos, so share them with us and your neighbors!

Send photos directly to anthony.bellano@patch.com and we’ll upload them to this post.

Stay safe, stay warm, and send those photos!
