Still Only Rain

Mornin'!  It's 45° in Wildwood.  12 days until Winter.  It's raining and raw.  It's been raining heavy all night.  Being a Philly Girl (some say "transplant") and following the surrounding weather so I can blog the differences...here is a prime example.  Philadelphia got 8.5" of snow yesterday and Newark Delaware got 12" of the white stuff (both about 2 hours away).  Wildwood received none.  We had a mix of snow and rain and even some freezing rain but no snow.  The temps thankfully rose near 50° overnight so no ice formed on the island.  It'll be a wet one most of the day as the rains continue.  Temps will remain in the mid-upper 40's and some forecasts say low 50s.  Winds will commence this morning first from the South at 10-15mph; then shift from the W-SW at 20-25mph.  Tomorrow...it all continues but with colder temps increasing the possibility of snow here.  We'll just have to wait and see.  The shovels and scrapers are still waiting to be used here at the Shore.  Oh...remember the Sun? It's due to check in Wednesday.
High tide:1:10p.m.
Low tide:6:44a.m.
Ocean temp:50°
Sunset:4:37p.m.
