*general state of emergency declared for the state
*coastal communities individually declared their own state of emergency
*nj transit trains have ceased operation - only work crews working overnight to clear tracks and switches for limited operation tomorrow
*have been under blizzard conditions for approx 6 hrs
*don't have snowfall amounts, but can tell you that the snow on my porch is a couple of inches high against the front and side doors
*drifts are anywhere from 4' to 6' ft against garage and fence around the yard and there's prob a foot or so piled up in the above ground pool cover
*approx 2,000 people in the shore area are without power
*local newspaper posted a notice on their website that an in-depth version of the paper will be available on-line since delivery will surely be impacted
but the heat is still on in our house and we still have our power; it was kind of freaky a couple of hours ago when we had thunder and lightening along with the snow! since i have had enough of this snow stuff for now, am heading to bed while it is still warm - if we're gonna lose power i want to be sound asleep and snuggled up warm and toasty. one not-so-bad aspect of this storm - i did not have to walk the trash to the curb for pick-up tomorrow - it just had to go to the can on the back porch! am sure it will stay buried in snow 'til the next pick-up thurs!
and it's gonna be sunny and in the low 50s by the weekend! nite nite.
