  1. a mentch tracht und gut lacht its easy ti sit and plan ..but when the storm hits all are immobilized yet with one sunny day all gets melted away..

  2. WOW!!! That’s a lot of people with a lot of time on their hands on a Friday morning. Have a great shabbos everyone. And keep in mind, hadlakah 5:03

  3. Lakewood EMS, first aid and Fire won’t be needed, so everyone that should be working you can stay home your services are apparently not needed. Sleep well. Again excluding important part of services for the town, wasn’t there a meeting on January 1 and the importance of communication was stressed. Well I guess that was only to last for a day.

  4. Just curious as to why was Moishe Heinneman there?….. I mean I know why HE was there, but why was he asked to be there? No ax to grind – just curious.

  5. Moshe Heineman was probably there because he is a part of the LCSW which stands for Lakewood Civilian Snow Watch. That’s the only reason why most of Lakewood was plowed so nicely.

  6. EMS and Fire are a very big part of our town, but I don’t think they plan on having 20 Volunteers on the road ready to push people that are stuck in snow. Thats prob why they wernt asked to be at the meeting.

  7. To # 15 So Hatzolah (which is an EMS serves) was going to push people out of the snow? WOW..I know EMS/fire were digging people out of snow to get them to the hospital. Interesting….
