the rix mix

of snow, according to National Weather Service.

 This amount is the second  highest "official" total in Jersey. Mildly surprised. Late last night / early this A.M., on radar, clearly the most intense snow was in a long, narrow north to south band  with edge stopping ten miles west of here,  & at the Jersey shore around Asbury Park. But the shore got more wind, & some huge drifts.  All-in-all an exceptional storm.

Unless you lose power or reside on an unfortunate side street your town forgets to plow, Jersey recovers quickly from snowstorms. It's a big hassle if you have to park on the street.  You dig the car out, if you must go somewhere you  stick a garbage can in the spot, hope nobody grabs it or the town doesn't totally plow it under. People generally respect the unwritten rules, & streets are mostly cleared to the curbs on the alternate side parking street sweeper mornings.
