Oh No! Not More Snow!

Please, No. Not more snow. You might think that it’s hardly possible, but a brief article in Friday’s Courier News states that there is a 50/50 chance that Bridgewater could get 4 to 8 inches of snow by Monday evening.

Yesterday, Priscille spoke to her sister in Cape Coral, Florida who, in turn, spoke to their sister-in-law in Dallas, which experienced at least nine inches of snow. Even Tallahassee in the Florida panhandle was expecting to get some of the fluffy stuff.

All I can say is that we arrived in Bridgewater from Potomac, MD, just in time to get snowbound by the last storm. We were lucky: On the following day, the routes we traversed (I- 270 in Maryland and Interstates 81 and 78 in Pennsylvania) were all closed to traffic.

I still have some clean-up to do around the car and in a few other spots that a plow can’t reach. By the way, have you noticed how efficiently Somerset County and Bridgewater Township have been at cleaning up the streets? Good, very good.

Might as well make the best of it. For years to come, you’ll be able to tell your great-grandkids, “I remember the winter of 2009-2010 when we had these monster snow storms. . . “

Be cautious when outdoors: Even the most adroit among us can have a serious mishap on icy walkways and driveways.
