Our Retro Pic of the Day is a reprise from an original 2015 post to commemorate a real chill of an ice storm that paralyzed the Rumson-Fair Haven area in ’73. A reminder in heaps of melting snow and cold that it could be worse …
Chill out with thaw and the reminder that, though it is pretty cold outside, and it’s been a pretty snowy, icy January, yes, it could be worse.
Retro RFH Snow Day Drive

A reprise in honor of the first major R-FH area snowfall of the New Year and nostalgia for the days of waiting for the snow day whistle to blow and goofing off. Yes, before the morning phone call and electronic communications, there was only the fire horn to listen for on what all kids wished would be a snow day. Then came the snow day misadventures …
It may or may not have been a snapshot of the infamous Blizzard of ’78, but there was not an SUV in sight, that’s for sure. Yes, those slick sedans slipped and slid their way right to school. Or not. There was a lot more fearlessness of the white stuff. That was the RFH golden rule of the era.

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.
