October snowstorm gives NJ a 'white Halloween'

STATEWIDE —After a record October snowstorm that left at least two dead over the weekend, New Jersey is waking up to a white Halloween, with icy roads littered with downed trees and power lines, and heat and electricity still out for thousands.

Two NJ Transit lines are still shut down today, many schools are closed and State Police urge caution on the roads.

In Madison, the volunteer ambulance — which has a generator — set up an emergency shelter.

"I was so cold last night I had to have five blankets on me," Gerri Giordano said Sunday of Saturday night. "You could see your breath in the house it was so cold."

Linda Augustine, another Madison resident, said, "I woke up and it was all dark and the house was freezing. When we took the ride here, it was like a surrealistic science fiction landscape because power lines were down and trees were down."

Other shelters were set up at West Orange High School, Belleville Middle School, the South Orange Library, Glen Ridge Community Center, Bloomfield Civic Center and the Cedar Grove First Aid Squad, among other locations.
