"Do I have Covid, or is the weather driving my sinuses nuts?" - Everyone in Ocean County right now.

From tea to medicine to good ol' fashioned rest, it seems every New Jersey resident has their own special treatment to nurse weak vocal cords.

This story is exactly why I only like so much nature. I'll marvel at it as long as I don't have to navigate it, sleep in it or worry about surviving it. A local Freehold family was recently rescued after getting lost on a mountain hike in Maine.

They're actually called 'polar bear cages,' and they're there so polar bears can't attack you as soon as you walk outside.

COLD!!! Yup....Temperatures will only be in the mid to low 30's for the HIGH! You will definitely need to bundle up! Now memories of the Seaside Heights St. Patrick's Day parade in the past are a bit fuzzy (you could understand why), but I don't remember parade day being this cold. Temps usually start cold in the morning but usually wind up being in the 40's/50's as the day goes on.

That's according to News 12 New Jersey Anchor Kurt Siegelin. The temperature was -1 degree Fahrenheit in Toms River around 5am this morning according to his weather map.

Local officials are warning people to not attempt to walk on the frozen Banegat Bay. You would think that people are smart enough to realize that it hasn't been that cold for that many days in a row, and the parts of the bay that is frozen, well the ice is just not that thick...
