This morning at 7 am the NYC TV news said the rain would turn to snow around 5 pm. Well, they were wrong! It changed around 11 am and we now have about 5 inches of wet heavy snow on the ground. We lost power right at the end of our church luncheon (excellent timing) around 2:30 and had to do the clean up with emergency lights on. Luckily, here at home the power is still on, but there are a lot of trees either down or bent over with heavy snow on the leaves. The snow is still coming down and 40-50 mph winds are expected tonight. I hope the weather folks on TV are wrong with that prediction, or we will be in for a lot more downed trees. This is the first time since the Civil War era that we've had this much snow on 10/29 here in northern NJ.
