Snow Hits Princeton, Thousands Without Power

It's Oct. 29. Halloween is still two days away. And yet there is snow falling in Princeton, as well as across much of New Jersey.  

And we don't mean a few flurries - we're talking real snow flakes, in quantity and quality that you would think we were well into winter.

Heavy wet snow covered most of Princeton by Saturday evening, causing cars to skid on slipperty roads and there were downed branches throughout town, especially towards the north end of town towards Montgomery Township. 

As of 7 p.m., PSE&G reported more than 10,000 homes in Mercer County were without power, including more more than 2,000 in Princeton Township and more than 500 in Princeton Borough. PSE&G estimated power would be restored to one Princeton Township resident by 11:59 on Monday night.
