I'm not sure conditions were slicker than usual because of the nature of the storm or because there was no sanding or salting. I'm glad I didn't take my bike!.
Those poor kids (and teachers and other personnel who stayed with them) in West Orange! I hope it was fun for them. Apparently they started serving French toast at 5:30am, and they were able to get all the kiddos home by 9am that next morning? I'm sure NJDOT was working hard to get the roads cleared so they could get those kids home. Man oh man!
