CHRISTIE MAKES
LAST PUSH IN N.H.
Governor suggests presidential run may not end
even without a top-tier finish in the Granite State

Flood-prone coastal areas will continue to take a

beating today as the third snowstorm since Friday
rolls through the state, followed by icy conditions and
wind chills that could dip below zero.
Monmouth and Ocean counties are under a coastal
flood warning, according to the National Weather Services Mount Holly office. A new moon, the developing
low-pressure system and heavy winds that picked up
overnight Monday will continue to cause a prolonged onshore flow of water today.
Snow is expected throughout most of the state, but
the bulk will be in the southern and central parts, said
Gary Szatkowski, chief meteorologist at the Mount
Holly office. Monmouth and Ocean counties could see
up to 5 inches by Wednesday morning.
However, more treacherous conditions will follow
the snow. Below-average temperatures could cause
slushy and icy road conditions during commutes today and Wednesday.

HUDSON, N.H. - On the eve of the todays pivotal New Hampshire primary,
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie pulled
out all the stops be it getting down on
one knee to court an undecided voter at a
town hall or talking over chanting protesters at another campaign stop.
According to an array of polls, residents of the Granite State are expected
to favor Donald Trump in the Republican
race and Bernie Sanders on the Democratic side. After a 10th-place showing in
last weeks Iowa caucus, the bar is set
lower for Christie.
His mission: to do well enough to justify staying in the race, though exactly
what that means to Christie is unclear.
The governor has said he needed to
finish ahead of former Florida Gov. Jeb
Bush or Ohio Gov. John Kasich; he has
also said he was moving on to South Carolina, which hosts a GOP primary Feb. 20,
suggesting his candidacy would not necessarily hinge on the will of New Hampshire voters.
What was clear Monday: Christie will
not go quietly. He packed four campaign
events and two cable news interviews
into his Monday travels, despite snowy
weather that blanketed the state, host of
the first-in-the-nation presidential primary.

The cruise from hell:

A Farmingdale familys
stormy nightmare at sea
MIKE DAVIS @BYMIKEDAVIS

SOMEWHERE IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN - Less

than a day into their family cruise, three generations
of the Hollender family hunkered down inside their
cabin as a storm raged outside their porthole window.
As the 169,000-ton ship rocked to and fro, the Hollenders, of Farmingdale, took turns holding 10-monthold Gavin, the third generation of the family on board
the Anthem of the Seas as it battled through the storm,
cresting and falling over every single wave.
We could feel the ship going on top of the waves
and crashing back down. Every time, wed get
knocked a little off to the side. You could feel everything just jolt and slide, said Keith Hollender, somewhere off the coast of North Carolina 12 hours after
