First Flakes of the Season

From snow days and igloos to unbearably cold weather and shoveling, snow has its good and bad sides.

Parts of Ocean County saw its first snowflakes of the season around 1 a.m. this morning, with some roads just dusted over.

Chances are the snow will have melted by the time you awake but the National Weather Service issued a hazardous weather outlook and has predicted scattered flurries overnight with a low around 27 degrees.

This time last year Lacey was blanketed with several feet of snow. The township snow plan broke down, roads remained slick, and residents were stranded as it took days to dig out.

I don’t miss the first blizzard of 2011. But do you?

Today’s question of the day is how do you feel about snow? Did you used to love it as a kid and now hate it as an adult? Do you yearn for the snow days at home with hot cocoa and a good movie or are you counting down the days until spring?
