New Jersey being in a “state of emergency” has nothing to do with the weather said the resident of NJ since 1966.
You are sooo right, about that!!!
I don’t remember a state of emergency in New Jersey when I was growing up in the 1950s-1980s when there was 5-10″ of snow. The only time I remember a real state of emergency was when we got hit with about 24 inches of snow in one Nor’easter in the early 1990s. I guess Phil “Knucklehead” Murphy doesn’t want another debacle like he did when he failed to call an emergency that resulted in rush hour nightmare in his first term.
What is the point of a state of emergency if people are still allowed to be on the road, I always thought a state of emergency was to keep people off the road for emergency vehicles and plows,
That’s right.
