The first blizzard of 2016 was one for the record books. Residents of South Orange and Maplewood responded by battening down the hatches, cooking lots of warm weather food, engaging in epic amounts of snowblowing and shoveling, and enjoying some well-deserved post-storm fun in the snow.
Unfortunately for parents (and fortunately for students), school will not be in session tomorrow. So in the meantime, amuse yourself by checking out our photo gallery of scenes from the storm and its aftermath around our two towns.
Thanks to the many readers who posted their excellent snow photos on our Village Green Facebook group. We have a lot of very talented folks out there in SOMA! (Special thanks to Jamie Bloom Meier of LiveLoveMaplewood for our featured photo of sledders at sunset.)
