Many New Jersey towns have be rethinking their snow removal procedures. Due to the 2011 October snow storm, towns have been planning in advance to ensure citizens do not encounter the same problems. That storm left many New Jersey residents without power for days on end, and caused major damage to power lines and trees. Many towns have increased the number of plow trucks on the roads, and increased their salt stockpiles. The cleanup of that storm was not something the towns or citizens were used to.This storm also took many citizens by surprise. Many people had not prepared their snow-blowers or even thought about purchasing melting salt. And when the storm hit, most retailers were under-stocked on the preparations. It was a dystopian setting, which New Jersey residents had to relive the following year with Super Storm Sandy.
This list will help you prepare for any winter storms we may see in New Jersey.
- Flashlights and extra batteries in case of power outages
- High energy foods, such as dried fruits, and canned food that does not require heating
- First-aid supplies
- Put all of your warm winter blankets somewhere easily accessible so you don't have to go digging for them when you really need them.
- Make sure your car has a full tank of gas, if you leave your car with a very minimal amount of gas in the tank it does have a potential to freeze.
- Go for mittens rather than gloves, they will keep your hands warmer.
- Sturdy waterproof boots are a must for New Jersey Winters.
