The Record
Old Man Winter seems determined to rub salt into North Jersey’s frostbitten wounds with another storm Wednesday and one predicted for this weekend, but there isn’t any left.
The Westwood Department of Public Works on Tuesday had one truckload of salt for its roads in advance of a Wednesday’s winter storm, said Rick Woods the DPW superintendent. He’s fielding calls from other towns looking to borrow some.
“We’re waiting days for deliveries,” Woods said. “I don’t know what the issue is.”
The Bergen County Department of Public Works had 2,000 tons on hand, or just enough to handle one storm. County DPW workers closed the gates Tuesday afternoon on a long line of municipal crews hoping to get resupplied with salt in advance of Wednesday’s storm.
