Along with the cold weather, ice boats returned to a local river.

According to the Asbury Park Press, this is the first time since 2018 that members of the North Shrewsbury Ice Boat and Yacht Club were able to hit the icy Navesink and set sail on the frozen river.In order to enjoy the sport safely, the ice must be four inches thick, and that requires no less than three straight nights of temperatures below 15 degrees.
