Winter isn't over; ice and snow still possible

The following information is provided by Ed Gorman, commercial maintenance and snow services account manager at Jacobsen Landscape Design and Construction in Midland Park .

For a little while it seemed as if northern New Jersey might escape the wrath of Mother Nature this winter – with the exception of the freak Halloween snow storm last October. But the mid-January snowfall reminded us all that there is still plenty of time for the white stuff to disrupt our lives.

It is also served to remind us that we need to be prepared for the worst when it comes to winter weather. From making sure the furnace is working to having enough emergency supplies on hand to having snow removal equipment ready to go, following the Boy Scout motto of "Be Prepared" is more important than ever during the winter months.

So even though the store mannequins are already dressed in their Spring clothes, and unseasonably warm temperatures have given false hope to a year without snow, the reality of icy sidewalks, dead car batteries and black ice is still here until the robins finally arrive in a few months.
