The weather forecast for snow Friday was correct. 

As snow blanketed the region, schools closed early, events were re-scheduled and people scrambled to get home or to the grocery store.

It's nice to know people are taking and posting pictures while driving on snow covered roads. Makes me feel real safe to be a driver in NJ.

Congratulations and Thank You to Scott Frech, Roger Reid and the Washington Township DPW crews for getting the the roads cleared and safe with the snow storm. It wasn't as bad as New England, but it was bad enough. The preparation in putting down brine and grit in the early hours and then getting the plows in operation made sure the roads were driveable provided residents used common sense and drove carefully. Clearing roads in 12 hour shifts with blowing snow is no fun. (Think about the wide open fields on Naughright Road around Cuccinella school.) Normally all you guys get are complaints so a well done once in a while should also be offered. Hope everyone got home safe and there were no on the job injuries.
