is there garbage pick-up on Monday??

Steve, I'm assuming this is for Monday: I received a text message from Cedar Grove about 5:50 p.m. that says, "Due to the severe weather there will be no garbage or recycling collection. www.nixle.us/83MHH";

You are worried about your garbage???

I logged on to township site -- Mahwah -- looking for notice about recycling. It would have been helpful to know for sure what servies are suspended today, Monday and tomorrow. Good point about garbage -- which holds for recycling as well.

Power outages in jefferson twp. Berkshire valley rt 15 area

Kudos to the Patch and it's parent company AOL/Huffingtonpost. Your effective communications and journalism provides great local coverage. I hope your readership continues to grow.

Thank you!

a helpful link to watch the impact of the storm across the area. Hope to just watch and not experience the worst of the storm. Take Care.

Ooooohhhhh. The lights flickered two hours ago and the cable was out for awhile. We're all DOOMED!! But thanks, Patch, for being there. It may get worse.

It is nice to have a place to be informed immediately about the storm. I am out of state in FL and am anxious to know what is happening in my home town and state.
Thank you all for sharing your experiences about the weather. I have been trying to access the state cams to see the storm in real time but most of them are not projecting or I am not looking on the correct sites! Having gone through many storms, I wish you all well. Stay safe.

Why is there no place in Montville to store medication that needs to be keep cold?

Just got word that Mahwah schools are closed on Tuesday.

Power out in some apartments on Roseland Ave

I suggest that we all stay on the storm and put politics on hold for another day. No Tuesday garbage or recycling set for Mahwah. We had trash pick-up yesterday, but using my usual garbage plan, kept barrels inside and filled lawn & leaf bags heavily, so empties don't end up hundreds of feet downwind. Was just breezy, but who knew?

My power went off around 3:45 on Fawnridge Anyone else?

At 2:10, Moffatt had maybe a one-second loss, but was back on line long before our new required TV box rebooted. I hope the 707 homes get their power back soon, as Rockland earns enough, just like Cablevision, from us.

anything on bloomfield?

power our for a sec

Does anyone know what happened on Vinton Ave in Madison? There was a loud boom and now there is a firetruck on the scene.

hey heather , why dont you post that question on the madison patch?

Just so everyone knows, this story is posted across dozens of sites. If you have a specific question, make sure to cite the town you're referring to.

Lost power here in Randolph around 8 pm. Wonder how long we will be without power this time.

Hopatcong says let's make the best of it no live lost. Pray God. At the end let's every local town have the mother of bbq's instead of losing all that food and we can talk and give each other help and support. Isn't that what Americans do?

Thank you everyone working for Patch for keeping us all updated. Is there any word on when power is expected to be back in Millburn?

You're welcome Tom. It's so hard to say because there are so many people out, and its not like just a substation is out. It's wires and poles down, which is much harder to estimate.

Alexander avenue lost power yesterday at about 7 pm. Looks like some trees fell overnight but I can't tell yet. Does anybody know when we can expect power to be back

No power in green brook

Anytruth to the rumor parsippany will be turning off the water pumps due to lack of fuel to run them? Meaning we will lose power? If so do we know when this would happen?

Sorry. Not power. Water

I am wondering about the safety of water in Hopatcong. Anybody know if tap water is still safe to drink? I'm pretty sure it is but... Thanks!!

I just got a text from PSE&G advising that we can expect the power in Caldwell to be out for 7 - 10 days! Ugh!!!!

Anyone know about Cedar Grove- Ridge Road by Reservoir? I'm hoping Waterview Center is okay! The phone is just ringing, and I'm far away.
thanks - LP

I am sorry pls discard my last comment... My friend is staying at - Residence Inn Parsippany,Gatehall Drive Parsippany, New Jersey 07054 USA.For last fifteen hours we have lost contact with her. She is neither online nor I am able to get in touch through phone. Does anyone know if there is a power outage at the hotel. Slightly worried about her safety.

Things are a mess , and power might be out for a few days ,
but just count your blessings if your home did not have to deal with Storm Surge Damage , ( the coverage reminded me of the waves we saw roll over Japan) , and say a prayer for those 80+ families that lost their homes due to the inferno in the Rockaway Peninsula of Queens ,

Over 1200 apartments horizon house fort lee without power since early yesterday evening. Can't get update as to when power will be restored.

They make a bad situation worse by failing to communicate.

Anyone know about Warren schools?

Any real estimates for when Power will be restored. PSE&G says everyone will have power by Nov. 5 but that just sounds like a goal not reality.

does anyone have any information if power is restored at Brettonwood (off of Century road). Appreciate any help.

What about lakeview subacute center? My mom was relocated there from atlantic city on sunday. I can't get a telephone call through. The lines must be down?

Anyone know when the power will be Back for belleville nj?

How many of you folks asking about power restoration timelines live under a rock??? Since LAST Thursday, the utilities made it CLEAR that if the storm causes widespread you will be WITHOUT power for AT LEAST 7-10 days and should be prepared for that. Quit your whining and come back in 7-10 days. PS, dont run out for milk and bread, that is long gone too!!

Anyone know where you can get gas in Chester , long valley, mt olive?

>> PSE&G says everyone will have power by Nov. 5 but that just sounds like a goal not reality<<< They always put forth a date further away than they expect, that way you don't make repeated calls into their center if they had promised you a much earlier date that they couldn't meet.

Does anyone know if there's power on mt kemble road in morristown?

gas in ledgewood 3 places 2 hour wait

anyone know the situation in crim road ,bridgewater?

Tweets have gone out to say that a substation in Newark has been put back on line.

Any news on power being restored to Hoboken? Thanks

Horizon House update. Power restored to buildings 3, 4 & 6. Better than the week prognosis most gave on Tuesday. Hoping power is restored to the rest sometime tomorrow.

Has any one seen the promised 'out of state' crews and tree trimmers? If they were here as promised, I wouldn't have to be posting this via generator power.

Does anyone have any tip which gas stations around Cranford, Westfield, Roselle Park,Linden still supply gas?

Does anybody know about working ATMs in Hoboken?

Well I gues Obama showed up in New Jersey..had his photo op and went on with his schedule. What a waist!

ooops! a big WASTE

HOW IS SPRINGFIELDS INDEPENDENCE WAY ? ANY NEWS ABOUT POWER ?
