Blustery, bitter winters' day

Mornin'!  It's 23° in Wildwood + winds howling at 29-33mph w/gusting from the W-NW = 11° chill factor!  It's feeling a bit bitter at the Shore.   We had a nice dusting of the white stuff last night and everything's coated nicely and quite crunchy.  Winter seems to have checked in big time.  Going to have to make a little extra time getting the vehicles scraped off.  It'll be a bright, sunny day with those strong winds howling from the same direction maintaining that chill factor.  There will lots of sun today with temps barely tapping the 20° mark.  There's a couple important announcements this week.  First, I'm now allowed to share the fantastic news that I'll be adding "grandmom" to my profile this summer.  We're going to be blessed with our first grandbaby who will be visiting our seashore home from time to time and grow up knowing the Wildwoods.  It's going to be so much fun to introduce the seashore to the little one.  Talk about excitement in the salt air!   And, hubby and I decided to share our island home with a new puppy which we adopted this past holiday weekend while away on a mini-vacation!  Welcome Freddy!  God bless this little pup who did his duty in the snow covered, crunching, freezing backyard this cold, winters' morning!

Happy Parenthood Squared!
And BTW, the last Freddy I knew was a 10 year old who crawled behind his backyard fence and stole golfballs, selling them to the next foursome passing by. We called him "Freddy the Freeloader".
