This article talks about the snow storm that passed through Bergen County this weekend and its insurmountable damage. It has been reported that the cost of the storm has now tops $3 million dollars and that PSE&G has 33,000 customers without power. 95 % of the people are supposed to get it back by Thursday night but because this company has been so unreliable, it might be later. It is the first time New Jersey received snow in October since 1952.My opinion on this article is that it is truly shocking the amount of money we have spent on a snowstorm in October! It was truly a cause for disaster because with all the leaves still on the trees, the snow weighted down the branches too much, causing many to fall, causing great damage. The day after the snow storm, I couldn't even see the snow on the ground because it was covered with trees. I am glad that everyone who was affected by this storm is safe because it had a chance to have deathly affects. Luckily, I did not lose power throughout this event, but I feel horrible for the people who lost it for an extended period of time. PSE&G needs to get their act together and get electricity to all of the homes with out it because those people are living miserably right now. Finally, this storm was actually cool to witness because snow will probably not come this early again for another 50 years.
