Chatham must not be caught off guard again by a little snow.

Whoever dropped the ball and did not make sufficient arrangements in time for the snow storm should at least make a public apology. The snow started around 2pm and there was almost no snow plowed on major roads like North Passaic Avenue by 6 pm. I understand that mid-November is a bit early but it isn't August. We all knew snow was coming and this must not happen again. Traffic was backed up for 20 minutes at lights that usually take 2 minutes to pass. Emergency vehicles might not have been able to pass through major intersections. I was stuck in gridlock at Main and Passaic for half an hour, in what was clearly a dangerous situation, caused entirely by the town failing to sufficiently salt and plow in the four hours since the start of the snow. Clearly changed must be made immediately.
