I openly admit that I'm a creature of habit. Especially Monday through Friday. I tend to follow pretty similar patterns from day to day, and doing one thing differently can mess it all up.
I was just chatting with a friend who is seriously considering making a major life move. Basically to move away from where he's been for most of his life to a completely new city to shoot for his dreams. It's exciting, but scary.
This tends to be the worst case scenario when it comes to winter storms - the worst of it is right in the middle of the day. Schools let out early, offices close early, and a lot of people are on the roads during the worst of it.
That picture above is the perfect illustration of most of Ocean County today - empty parking lots and quiet roads. But for some people, it's just another day at the office.
