Well doesn’t the fact that I was able to come to New Jersey today proof that it was overhyped?
1. You came here through the one end of the state where travel was impacted least, and
2. By your own admission, you'll barely have enough fuel to get home.
You can go out on almost any highway in New Jersey today and find thousands of people on line at gas stations, most of whom thought this was all just "overhyped."
:-)
In a word........no.
