Morning Hoboken!

and Happy Birthday George Washington! Hopefully you had a great Valentine’s Day coupled with a day off of work today, whether you’re spending it on vacation or having a relaxing day at home.

Either way, we have a great edition for you, covering the following:

• 🏡 To the ‘Burbs

• 🇺🇸 Presidents’ Day Updates

• 🥐 Medialunas

Let’s get into it!

HOBOKEN WEATHER

Another week of winter

That potential 15 inch snowstorm on Thursday looks like it was downgraded to about an inch of flurries, which is great news (if you aren’t looking for a snow day off work/school).

Looks like we’re still hanging out in the 30’s this week, but there is hope - the extended forecast for the end of Feb/early March seems to be warming up… we’ll keep an eye on it!
