The only thing that is unusual is such a sudden temperature drop. That is it.

It didn't start yet, and temperatures in NJ are not expected to be super low.

For our state, it seems to be more of a media hype than anything else to be hones.

It needs to get much colder than -10 Celsius for NJ to be affected.

Southern states are not prepared for snow, ice, and cold, so for them, this will get extreme and difficult.

It is 10F/-12C right now in Morris County. That is “bundle up”weather but not cold enough to keep me from going to a friend’s house or a movie.

My biggest problem is what to do with the giant pot if cioppino I just made for the Feast of the Seven Fishes on Christmas eve. My plan was to put it on the (screened in) porch because the fridge is full and it would normally be “fridge temperature” outside. But at 10F and possibly lower, it will freeze. Then again, I will have all day tomorrow to thaw it :-)
