First Winter Snow

On December 5, 2002, Hasbrouck Heights received 6.5 inches of snow.  Although there were difficult traffic and road conditions, no serious incidents were reported. Here are some midtown scenes early that afternoon.

Actually, the first snow began Saturday afternoon on January 19, 2002, which resulted in a picturesque January 20th around our hometown. [Photos]
