South Jersey Residents Getting Ready For Latest Round Of Snow
By Diana Rocco
CHERRY HILL, N.J., (CBS) -- It's March and with another snowstorm on the way this winter just keeps on coming.
"It's been brutal."
"I don't think it's worse than last winter, but it's still a nuisance," said Elise Terch.
All across South Jersey from Cherry Hill to Washington Township many were out making last minute preparations.
"We were trying to find some salt. We went to Wegman's and Christmas Tree Shops, CVS, and Home Depot, they're completely out. Everything. They sold 10 pallets in two hours of salt, they're nothing left, only traction sand," said Cheryl Adkins.
Some settled for sand while others were leaving empty handed hoping to find salt elsewhere.
"The ice. It's not so much the snow accumulation, but the ice. It makes it treacherous," said Adkins.
Lowe's had snow blowers front and center. While you may not need them now, Thursday could be a much different story. Wednesday's rain melted snow and ice leaving water covering parking lots and flooding roadways. But with snow on the way and some of the highest totals expected in South Jersey that's all about to change.
"I had enough of it, work-wise and just shoveling the sidewalks. I'm ready for the summer."
While the adults may be longing for summer, the kids never mind another snow day.
"You get to come out and play with the kids because they'll be happy that they got that day off of school," said Clyde Cook.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has issued a State of Emergency.
