UPDATE: Appelgate Farms owner Jason Street is helping neighbors and merchants with his supply of dry ice. Stop by the Montclair store on Grove Street if you need to pick some up.
Soprano Sue sends this helpful info:
"You can buy dry ice at Artic Ice Manufacturing Co., 158 Semel Avenue, Garfield, NJ
(973) 772-7000. It's located behind A & P on Outwater Lane...By the way they are also the cheapest."

A West Orange fireman told me that the switching station that had the fire Monday night -- the one on Prospect at the top of the hill across from the golf course -- has now had more damage to the other half. This served Lyndhurst, Belleville, Bloomfield, West Orange, Montclair, East Orange, Glen Ridge & I don't know what else. He said there's a station in Irvington cranking overtime trying to keep up. But this may be why it's going to take a while for the power to come back -- things have melted.
