AN ICE DAY, INDEED

Icedog Every few years, Red Bank's summer playground — the Navesink River — comes out of dormancy to play the same role for a few precious winter days or weeks.

On Sunday, a day after temperatures climbed into the mid-40s, winter returned, delivering an icy platform for skaters, strollers and iceboaters, as well as at least one fast-moving and apparently gleeful golden retriever.

According to the National Weather Service, the current freeze will continue through the early part of this week, bringing, in order of appearance, flurries today and tonight; light snow tomorrow changing to snow and sleet at night; and then a hash of snow, freezing rain and sleet on Wednesday.

Check the North Shrewsbury Ice Boat & Yacht Club iceline (732.747.5665) for ice conditions before heading out on the river.
