Fog piled in Wednesday afternoon after muck piled up earlier in the day on Broad Street, Red Bank.

The sun returns today after yesterday's nasty snow-sleet-gunkpuddle precipitation and fog, says the National Weather Service, though the agency doesn't actually use the word 'gunkpuddle.' Yet.

Temps will nudge their way above freezing, peaking at about 36.

And what about the Navesink River ice?

"In Red Bank, everything was slushed out to a frozen mush, or a wet mush," says the voice on the prerecorded North Shrewsbury Ice Boat & Yacht Club's ice hotline (732.747.5665). "So let's hope for that refreeze."
