Monday January 1 News Updates Lakewood

Weather: 45° cloudy. Slight chance of a rain shower.

forecasters in NJ are closely tracking the potential for a major weekend storm that could bring “the first significant snowfall in nearly 2 years,” according to the National Weather Service.
The weather service stressed that much uncertainty remains several days ahead of the storm. Temperatures could remain warm enough by the weekend to keep the storm rain, or some mix of precipitation between northern and southern parts of the state.

  1. What a meshigas, Reb Levi Yitchok would have never said Happy about a holiday of avoda zara that celebrates yoshke. That story is 100% false.

    1. January 1st is a christian holiday. However it is completely unrelated to the fact that it is a new year lemisparam. While the story may very well be made up you have no clue.

    3. Thats a totally misleading and false statement. The whole reason their new year is on Jan 1st is because thats the date they believe Yoshkes bris happened. So theier new year is inextricably linked with their false beliefs

  13. Santander Bank can always be counted on to have broken ATMs with no cash on weekends and legal holidays. The disrespect their tellers show for the clientele by the way they dress is utterly revolting!

    1. Ummmm so maybe switch banks??? Just a thought…

    2. I second that. Always broken ATMs. I use them only because they have multiple locations around town and because they have relatively shorter lines.
