>Gov. Christie, family tough it out during night spent without power in Mendham
Candles, board games and frozen pizza cooked outside on a gas grill. That’s how Gov. Chris Christie and his family coped when the power went out at their Mendham home during the weekend snowstorm.
The Christies’ home was one of more than 700,000 without power in New Jersey on Saturday night, and the governor said they toughed it out as the needle dropped to 47 degrees in their house.
“We stayed home. We built a fire,” he said at a Statehouse press conference today. “There was a lot of reading going on. There was some board game playing. There was some card playing that went on.” (Megerian, The Star-Ledger)
