As the Friday morning rush hour commenced, road conditions in the Freehold- Farmingdale area worsened as more vehicles churned the snow, creating slush on roadways.
Adding to the worsening conditions was added traffic as the day progressed, although traffic was light compared to a normal day.
Snow fell steadily, whipped here and there by the wind.
In Farmingdale, James Daly did what many of us have to do in a winter storm - dig out.
"Digging out to get to work," said Daly, 43, as he cleared his Walnut Street driveway with a snow-blower about 8 a.m. "I have no excuse, it's only 2 miles away."
Although Daly, who is president of the Borough Council, took the snow in stride, he said he "can't wait for it (winter) to be over." He said it "will make spring (seem) much better."
Lily, 4, and Noah, 1, both English cream golden retrievers, walked along
the borough's North Main Street amid the blowing and steady snowfall.
"They love their walk in the snow," said their owner, Joey Chapurtinov, 47.
While the canines enjoyed the snow, the human said he had enough.
"Losing work," said Chapurtinov, who works outdoors in construction. "Bad winter, you know?"
But Chapurtinov was dealing with it.
"I snow-blow, shovel, help the neighbors out," Chapurtinov said. "Everybody pitches in on our street."

Isn’t it funny how uncertain (and on what a huge range) it is to predict the weather tomorrow, but we know to the prevision of a fraction of a degree what the weather will be in 100 years?

Found this post while trying to decide if a weekend trip to Hoboken/NYC from Buffalo NY, driving down this evening and back Sunday afternoon would be a good idea. After reading this, it still seems uncertain. There could be 3 inches of snow after we get there, or we could get caught in near blizzard like conditions with the wind Friday evening.

From all the reports we’re hearing in these parts, it seems like the NY area will only get a few inches total. Plus, who doesn’t love a snowy NYC weekend? You’ll have the place to yourselves!
