We didn't end up getting more snow down here during the great snowmaggedon of 2010, as was hypothesized during the great build up, but we got a ton of the heavy stuff (and after nightfall, like an extra dollap of whipped cream for dessert, the storm dumped another half-foot or more, for a total of about a foot and a half). It does make for pretty monochromatic gray on white on gray pictures from the beach and ocean. Caused some extensive power outtages, more in Cape May County, where some rural folks were pretty isolated for hours.The Cape May County Herald facebook page had one story in which a teenager went pleading to a man in a truck, who lent out two propane tanks to heat the lad's home. In Ventnor, we were pretty well cut off from each other anyway just by virtue of the Dorset Avenue Bridge being closed for repairs. Ventnor kept one plow on one side of the bridge, the other in the heights, and most of the roads were pretty passable. Late this evening, a couple of fire fighters were riding along Atlantic Avenue holding onto the back of a city ambulance, stopping to shovel out utility boxes and hydrants. At least one Bar Mitzvah mom had to make the tough call to postpone tonight's party, but the service itself went on this morning, and four generations made it there (the great-grandmother wore uggs in a very good move) and the good hardy people of Ventnor and Margate turned out.
