N.J. storm headquarters: Another snow job for the ages

N.J. storm headquarters: Another snow job for the ages

COMMENTARY

Back in December I recommended that we poo-pooh or blow off the next forecast of three to six inches of snow because we'd just seen about two feet of snow in the area.

Oops.

Pardon me, but I was referring to average snowfall forecasts of three to six inches. Once again we are looking at around two feet of snow. I'm sorry, but this is just wrong. It used to take five years to get two feet of snow around here, and wasn't the temperature in the sixties in December? Who knew those were the good old days?

We were prepared for this weekend because of the big storm in December. Residential neighborhood looters and vandals did not storm and pillage the Deptford Acmes or Shop-Rites to their bare bones this time.

No, this time they raided Sam's Club. Everyone knows it requires bulk quantities of Cool Ranch Doritos to survive a snowstorm on Super Bowl weekend.
