New Jersey Declares a Snow Day

Yesterday, I wrote about how I thought that this winter storm was going to be a bit of a pushover, but apparently I was slightly mistaken. The storm dropped almost a foot of snow (so far) here in Tinton Falls in Monmouth County. One of my roommates had to go to work anyway, so I took a picture of him digging his truck out of the snow (below).

As you can see, as of about 10:30am this morning, the township hadn’t even begun plowing the streets. It’s pretty bad out there, but not so bad that I wasn’t able to dig my car out of the snow (you can see my car in the picture above on the right – it’s completely covered in snow).

So for those of you traveling around out there remember to be careful. It’s also probably worth thinking twice about whether or not you really need to be out on the road today, too.

Here Comes The Snow…Again…

Just when you think the winter is about to end and it’s going to get warm outside – the snow strikes again! And apparently this time it’s going to be a whopper of a storm between today, tonight, and tomorrow. Luckily, I’ve opted to work from home tomorrow so I shouldn’t have any problems. I might have to cancel plans to attend a dinner up in Newark, but other than that – it should be smooth sailing.

Like most storms, I expect this one to be less than impressive for those of us on the northern part of the New Jersey coast. They’re calling for about a foot of snow – my prediction is a quarter of that at best. In any event, for those of you in the state located in an area where it WILL be bad, remember to take extra precautions! And for those of you who are going to get a snow day tomorrow – enjoy!
