Cold Comfort

New York City is icy and cold right now, but don’t expect to be ice-skating to New Jersey anytime soon. It’s not going to happen, no matter how much you want to escape the city’s chaos.

The Facts

The Hudson River’s just not going to freeze over, despite the chill in the air. It’s a big river, and it takes a lot more than a few cold snaps to turn it into a skating rink. So, you won’t be able to walk to New Jersey, and you won’t be able to ice-skate there either.
