Slow down everyone.

my kids' early dismissal is cancelled b/c of the worsening conditions - they need time to get the plows out. my neighbor's mom crashed her car before (she's ok).

Mt. Olive is having the same issue... seems no one was ready for this.

Calico696 - Wow! It looks like a blizzard by you! Down here near the NC/SC border, the worst snow we've gotten has been around 2 inches in Feb 2007. This prompted the closing of school and all of the municipal offices. Most of the stores couldn't open either - no employees showed up. That makes me laugh!

The earliest snowfall I remember was in 1969, as a college freshman at WPC in Wayne. It snowed on October 10th and hard enough to cover the grass. I believe even NYC saw some snow that day, and they commented that the earliest the city had snow was October 7th.

I didn't bring my snow shovel and sold my snow blower to my neighbor when I moved. I'm sure one of these days I'll regret that! But in the meantime, I'll enjoy the snow vicariously through your terrific picture!

Northwestern NJ schools are calling all kinds of early closings and afternoon cancellations.

This is insane!
Global warming, my ass.

mike - Global warming usually means warmer warms, colder colds, wetter wets and dryer drys! It's not just more heat! I just saw a show a few weeks back on the Discovery Channel about this!

You know what I think? I think there's no such thing as a 'normal' temperature. It is what it is.

Trivia question: what was the hottest month in the last 100 years for most of the country? You'll be surprised.
