What January feels like
January is a casino-and-buffet month, and the boardwalk in a January wind is a bracing walk if you dress for it. Anyone who drives in over the Black Horse Pike knows the island runs milder overnight than the pines out by the airport do — the ocean never quite lets it get as cold on the sand.
Winter is doing its thing: 5.7 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 3 days. about 24 nights dip below freezing.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 41° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
