Early morning Red Bank scenes from Broad Street, above, and Shrewsbury Avenue, below.
It’s been what, more than a year, since the Greater Red Bank Green had to deal with accumulated snow?
However long, locals reverted to form early Tuesday, pulling on their boots and getting through it, as a mild storm that had already dropped about two inches continued.
Parents of school kids, though, will also have to contend with schedule changes.

Red Bank borough schools, RBRHS and Red Bank Charter School announced delayed openings, while St. James Elementary and Red Bank Catholic High School canceled all classes for the day.
Red Bank borough hall also will delay opening until 10 a.m.
The snow was expected to become rain by 9 a.m. and continue until about 5 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.
