Think COOL, New Jersey!

As the Great Garden State "bakes" in the summer heat and humidity the next few days (get NJ101.5 Meteorologist Dan Zarrow's weather blog here), I'll supply some much-needed relief.

Pictorial relief, that is...

With temperatures hovering in the 90's for the next few days, behold: a few "blasts from the past" to help you THINK COOL!

But, there's so much more than just pictures taken during one of those (famous) station "sleepovers,"

In warmer weather, it could be a part of the neighborhood tractor race! (Craig Allen photo).

...I have to tell you that I was freezing while snapping these photos...but, in this heat, the above picture looks so...refreshing! Go ahead, look again...I'll wait.

Ummm....what happened here???!!!

This kid has had ENOUGH! (Craig Allen photo).

Got SNOW?

Of course, by January and February, we'll be praying for "warm" days.

Here's a BIG ice cube, for your COOL (refreshing) drink! (Craig Allen photo).

In the meantime, you can do like Bob Williams, and have some fun during our latest Jersey heatwave...

Car Cookies! (Bob Williams photo).

...make the sun work for you!

Yes, I'll take a cookie, Bob!

Wow...writing this post has been...warm work. I think that I'll go...

Cannonball! (Craig Allen photo).
