N.J. was ready for October snowstorm, Gov. Chris Christie says
It happened so fast, the governor didn’t have time to warn everybody to get the hell off the highway.
Transportation and utility crews scrambled to make roads passable and homes livable Sunday in the aftermath of a pre-Halloween nor’easter that dumped too much wet snow too soon and snapped branches like matchsticks.
Gov. Chris Christie, who famously told sun worshipers to “get the hell off the beach” as Hurricane Irene chugged toward New Jersey two months earlier, was himself without power at his Morris County home. (Frasinelli and Megerian, The Star-Ledger)
