What part of Jersey are you in? I’m down in West Wildwood. Hopefully, we get the wintry mix, and not the blizzard.
I’m in Middletown, but I work up in Basking Ridge (a hell commute from hell), it’s amazing how much colder it can be up there.
The worst day, pretty much ever, was one day when it started sleeting, snowing, really wet heavy snow, right about 4:00, there really wasn’t even any way to close early. (And I must say that the people I work for are very good about closing early, for weather, for holidays, they are better than OK on that score.) It was coming down so fast that the highways were covered even with all the traffic. You could not go over 20 mph, if you did you started to slip all over the place.
But, all us Route 287 drivers are very inured to moving slowly, so I just crept my way home, it took 3 hours but I got there.
Good luck with this storm and all the inclement weather we are sure to get before spring. We’ve really been very lucky so far this winter so I can’t complain (too much).
I was 10 years old in NJ, Bergen Co. for the Big Snow of ‘47. I remember walking through snow mid chest high. When my father dug the path to the street, we measured the snow and it was 27”. I dug a cave in the wall of snow for my 2 year old brother. For those who say this storm has not hit the west yet, this storm is moving up from the south. Here is another map and story.
