Well, after a lot of warnings and prep, the week’s ones played host to yet another snowstorm that wasn’t. Oh, there was some snow and freeze for a few morning minutes, but it was no Blizzard of ’96 or ’78. Yes, back in the day, there were plenty of snowstorms that actually snowed Rumson-Fair Haven area folks in and left them to their own devices for resorting to fun in the freezing white stuff.

With the hint of sun and tinge of milder weather these days, R-FH area people were popping up all over the great outdoors for a little fairer weather respite.

It’s a classic snow story worth repeating …
Our Retro Pic of the Day takes us back to a blizzard that was true to its word.
What was dubbed The Blizzard of ’96 hit the Rumson-Fair Haven area with full force in early January of 1996. This one lived up to its promise to render everyone in the area immobile.
New year, new council members, emergency responder line officers and all sorts of political appointees and contracts. That’s how it goes every new year in every municipality. And Fair Haven is no exception.
New year, new fire department line officers. That’s how it goes. Since the dawn of Rumson, Fair Haven and all towns’ time, reorganization has been a New Year rite of passage.

Well, we know full well that in the rare event auld acquaintance be forgot, there’s always a reminder of what was — and how unforgettable it is. This time the auld acquaintance is among a gaggle of girls who are all still friends from the RFH Class of ’83.
