HA! If you lived near Bridgeport you would appreciate where you are. I just looked at the extreme dailies for Sussex in NW NJ and they are 10-20 below zero! That is not bad! That means it does get cold there.
Bridgeport has never seen that in any day any month since records started 1948.
Sussex New Jersey normal lows are in the teens! That means single digits are achievable and seasonable. But I get your point... If its going to be cold, let it be sub zero!
I DON'T LIVE IN SUSSEX COUNTY (the sticks).
I live on the border of Somerset and Middlesex counties in central NJ. Down here, 25 F is an "arctic blast", and rarely happens. Its usually around 40 F with endless steel grey clouds and wind. My nearest weather station for reference is Somerville, NJ (KSMQ).
500 miles north of me is about 215km north of Thunder Bay, Ontario.
The area is very sparsely populated the nearest place I can find on google maps is Armstrong Station about 25km to the East, population 220, though you can get to the Canadian National Railway in about 3km. About 160 km southeast is Greenstone, Ontario, about 180 km southwest is Sioux_Lookout, about 140 km northwest Pickle_Lake, at 51.5N apparently the most northerly place in Ontario that has year-round road access. The climate is somewhere in between, right around the borderline of Dfb and Dfc, January probably averages between -17 and -21C, July likely 17 to 19, and about 200-250cm snowfall.

Oh, for some reason I thought I saw a post saying you were in NW NJ. Might of been another poster. I checked New Brunswick, NJ and their normal lows are low-mid 20s in December,Jan,Feb. Extremes do go below 0 in January but mostly 0-10° in winter months.
Yeah, I think our area south of Lat 42°N is pathetic for cold unless your higher than 1500'. And to think people complain around here in the winter is just always so funny.
I am beginning to wonder if the Temperature here was ever above freezing.
