October Snow Storm No Treat

November 3rd, 2011

By Jackie Simmonds, Blog Editor

The October 29 snow storm in New England took all of us by surprise, first for the amount of snow we received and second the severity of the storm damage.  Many people  have been without power for most of the week including the volunteer New England Job Show staffers.

As of yesterday we were back on Twitter and Facebook.  Today articles will resume on the blog with links being posted on LinkedIn.

We hope that those who are still in the dark are back on the grid by the weekend.  Let’s hope that this early blast of winter is not a harbinger of things to come!
