THE RECORD
The blizzard of 2016 was the most powerful storm to sock New Jersey since Superstorm Sandy destroyed swaths of the shoreline and knocked out power to tens of thousands for weeks on end. And like Sandy, this storm also caused floods and knocked out power, but the strength of the storm was exponentially less, though flooding along Jersey’s southern shores was worse.
What the blizzard did — most experts, activists and officials agreed — was highlight the effectiveness of resiliency projects built since Superstorm Sandy — and draw attention to where weaknesses still exist.
Since Sandy, beaches in some coastal municipalities have been widened, barriers have been built and municipal officials say they have more and better resources to deal with storm impacts.
Why not a picture of the shore instead of a bimbo?
