What are the rivers like?
The Big D is frozen right across in most sections from upriver of Washington's Crossing on down past Trenton. I haven't been any farther north than there but have heard that the Gap is frozen. What does it mean for spring? First and foremost, it means severe floods once the ice lets go. A quick thaw or a heavy rain will make things very dangerous along the entire river. Fishing? Well, it should delay the shad migration a bit. The Raritan was open except for ice along the banks down near New Brunswick and up toward 287. I don't know about the Passaic but with all of its twists and turns, I can imagine that there has to be quite a bit of ice upriver. If that's true, then places around Pine Brook might have some major flooding like a few years back.
