Freezing temperatures moving in. How cold does it get in New Jersey?

Cold enough for you?

That’s never a good way to start a conversation, especially this winter as we’ve seen some of the coldest temperatures in a long time.

But is it record-breaking?

Not according to these figures. Sure, we hit some freezing temperatures that saw wind chill factors drop below 0, but we didn’t set any records.

But it’s not record cold. Not by a longshot.

Records won’t be falling this week around Ocean and Monmouth counties. So let’s look back on the coldest days in history, according to plantmaps.com. You might want to bundle up and grab a cup of hot chocolate before reading.
