Somerset County Is Colder Than Antarctica Right Now (PHOTOS)

SOMERSET COUNTY, NJ — It's been freezing in Somerset County, seriously freezing. Temperatures have been so low that it's literally colder than Antarctica. Yes, really: as of 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, it's 33 degrees in Antarctica and just 28 degrees in Bridgewater, according to the Weather Channel.

That hasn't stopped the outdoorsy types in Somerset County though, who ventured outside to Duke Island Park in Bridgewater or the Great Swamp in Basking Ridge or even to go skateboarding in the snow in Hillsborough.
