If the long lines at the grocery store were any indication, the Jersey Shore was ready for a blizzard.

The National Weather Service's map at 8 p.m. Monday predicted snow hitting the Jersey Shore after midnight and continue throughout the morning, potentially dumping up to 18 inches of snow in Freehold and up to a foot in Toms River. But as the snow turned to sleet and then rain Tuesday morning, residents took to social media to express their disappointment.

So much for that blizzard:

Where is the snow?

Jersey Shore residents weren't happy.

And the weatherman jokes started flying. The meteorologists can't get a break.

But at least we got a snow day and some quality time with our pets.
