Residents of Union County NJ went outside this morning, looked around & thought, Well, that's a lot of snow but what happened to the blizzard? About a foot of powder snow, which is less troublesome than half that amount of heavy, wet ocean snow. Clear the sidewalks, dig out the car, & shovel away the pile the plow pushed to the side of the street & drive if you must. But blizzard? Nah. Today's Sunday, NFL Division title games, the liquor stores are open. It was much worse down toward Philadelphia & across the state to Toms River where the storm really got wound up & the Fort Dix weather radar was showing cloud cells in excess of 10,000 feet. That weather went out to sea, turned northeast & slammed Boston. Nantucket Island had 80+ wind gusts. We had a snowstorm., & the kids are disappointed that it's not even good packing for snowmen or snowballs, & most of them will be back in school tomorrow morning.
I went out for short walk around 4 pm, the sidewalks were clear & the only problem places were at the corners & those occasional five foot stretches between properties where nobody was claiming ownership. The cops may have something to say about that tomorrow when they start enforcing the sidewalk laws.
