Check out the low temperatures reported at 55 weather stations across the Garden State on Tuesday
With all the talk about the spring-like weather descending upon New Jersey on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, this morning's frigid air was a sharp reminder that November can be a strange month of temperature swings.
One day it can be warm in the 60s, and the next day the high can struggle to move past 45 degrees.
How cold was it Tuesday morning?
The mercury dropped to 15 degrees (without the wind chill factored in) in Walpack in Sussex County, and 16 degrees in Berkeley Township in Ocean County, Kingwood in Hunterdon County and Pequest in Warren County.
Why was Sunday's sunset so spectacular?
Although no records were broken, there's no denying it was a bitter-cold morning, said Mitchell Gaines, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Mount Holly.
Gaines noted it's not unusual for New Jersey to see wild temperature fluctuations in late November. "It's typical here when we're changing seasons," he said.
However, the warm days we're expecting on Thanksgiving and Black Friday -- with daytime temperatures heading up to the low to mid-60s in most parts of the state -- will be far above the norm for this time of the year, Gaines said.
