ReplyDeleteThank u for the early post this morning as people want to know what's going on
ReplyDeleteOrchos Chaim cancelled school for today
ReplyDeleteWhere are you getting this forecast of 2 feet of snow this weekend? I don’t see that anywhere
ReplyDeletePlease make sure floor mats are placed and used at all entrances, especially in shul offices and simcha halls with shiny tile flooring.

Why is there no pm busses for the boys schools that are open?????????
ReplyDeleteWhat's the chessbon to shlep all mothers in this snow and sit 2 hours in traffic and than pick them back up a few hours later again sitting in traffic on dangerous roads
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy
Noshim B'Mai Zachayin . . .
DeleteThere should not have been school to begin with. Many of the main roads including Cedar Bridge and Cross Street are sheets of ice. I wonder if the person making the decision to open school was out and about on the roads before they made the decision to open!
ReplyDeleteThe cheshbon??? Talmud torah of tinokos shel bais raban. Yes, not married men who have an obligation to support their wives.
ReplyDeleteAfter a snow storm they always post another one is on the way.... Most times it never happens
ReplyDeleteI don't usually use this site to rant and complain although it's unbelievable appreciated to have such up-to-date kosher site like this, but this has to be published EVERYWHERE. Did any of you drive or try driving last night or today early morning hours even at 9:30 on central or ceder bridge going south if you did last night it was a ice skating ring and this morning it was a melted ice skating ring. Only those roads which are specifically county roads as it was hardly plowed everything else I'm not saying they (state /township)couldn't of done a better job and quicker but it was manageable by late last night but county there's wasn't a plow in sight literally and today it melted from the vehicle traffic with hours of traffic and bitul torah now go right ahead and shake ur heads and vote these county people in again next time around ( besides like trump says these guys pocket all the money).
ReplyDeleteBtw if you remember before Murphy came in route 9 even by the biggest blizzards where clear as can be right away
There's no accountability anymore from the politicians the only ones they have to answer to are the askanim who control them for their own projects if they deliver the goods they get reelected with the daas Torah campaign every election.
