Middletown public schools will have an all-virtual half day on Tuesday, Feb. 2. There were "remarkably few accidents" Monday during the storm, said Middletown administrator Anthony Mercantante. "The public was really great about staying off the roads."

There were a couple accidents Monday afternoon on the Garden State Parkway in Monmouth County and the county sheriff shared this photo of a car flipped over on Rt. 18 in Colts Neck. So far, there have been no reported power outages in Middletown residential areas, however there was one small power outage along Hwy. 35 Monday.
