A "Mix" is in the works

Mornin'! It's 40° this early morn as temps are expected to drop a bit today hovering around the upper 30's. It's brisk, quiet (except for the sound of the sea), and overcast in the darkness. Not sure about a nice sunrise today, but for the most part it'll be a fairly nice one. The sun and clouds will be duking it out most of the day until the clouds win by early evening and wintry mix ensues tonight. That is overnight...winds (NW 10-15mph w/20mph gusts), rain, sleet, snow and changing back to rain before daybreak Saturday. Tomorrow morning will be icy-cold and all that moisture on the island could provide hazardous conditions if that Mix gives us a decent coating. But hey...the ocean's still 49° and I'm thinking it will continue to insulate us and keep us from freezing up this time round. Remains to be seen, but I'm optimistic. Plus, all the forecasters are saying this will be more of a Mix on the mainland and more north of us. Thinking "positive" is key. High tide:5:11p.m.; Low tide:11:10a.m.; Ocean temp: 49°; Sunset:5:08p.m. 60 days until Spring!

The possibility of the back bays freesing this winter look increasingly slim.

Never proofread your own words. Change the s to z in freezing, above and look to looks. Oop, I mean oops! Can there be only one oop?

You make me think that "Freesing" is intentional!!!
