Real winter in New Jersey

The coldest weeks during the year is the last week of January (just started) and the first week of February.  Our thermometer outside showed 7 degrees F this morning, but the reported temperature from down the valley a few miles from us was minus 5 F or so.  Pretty cold, like a deep freezer.  For you in Sweden this is nothing, I know! Or if you are from the Upper Peninsula in Minnesota, the coldest place in the US.  But here, this is COLD.

Water is freezing over, and the snow is staying - so it is gorgeous. When the sun is about to set, the 'blue hour' is a great time for photos.  None of these photos have been color-corrected - this is how blue it was!  The photos are from Rock Brook on the Sourlands during yesterday's walk:
