Winds were driving moderate if freezing temperatures down to the low teens shortly after 4a today, when redbankgreen took a quick spin through downtown Red Bank.
By 5:30, there was water running in the gutters even as snow continued to fall.
Plows and shovelers were out, but many local streets hadn’t yet been cleared of what appeared to be about nine inches of snow.
