Days removed from last Thursday's snow event, people are still talking about their tale of woe in the traffic nightmare that virtually crippled most of the highways. For me personally, I tried to get home to Vernon from East Hanover and 3 hours into the ride, I was only in Parsippany with traffic virtually at a standstill. Not willing to gut it out and probably because my vehicle was not moving up those hilly roads at 3 miles an hour, I immediately turned around and headed to a nearby hotel. Luckily, I was able to secure a room, but alas I was hard pressed to find a takeout place to deliver me dinner, so I relied on the vending machines to feed me for the night. It was probably the best decision I made as spending the night stranded in my car was not an option. Perhaps you have a similar story to share of sitting in the Thursday traffic jam nightmare that was.
