Missed the Bullet

Mornin'!  It's 31° in cloudy, quiet Wildwood.  The only sound is the ocean crashing.  The thick clouds are insulating sounds as 6 blocks away is the pounding surf.  Barely a breeze out there this early morn...4mph from the E-NE.  Luckily the island received no snow from this last storm.  Not a flake.  We had a rain event as west of us received up to 10-12" of the heavy, slushy, white stuff.  My hubby and I kept repeating the same thing over and over, "Thank God we didn't get it."  I'm still saying it.  We are in the line of fire for 2 more storms directly in our path this week.  One will check in tonight into tomorrow (100% chance) and the other stopping by Sunday night into Monday (still checking the projection of that one).  The latter having a greater chance of being snow but tonight's storm looks like another rain event.  Yesterday's rain washed all the snow that was left so the island got a good cleaning. Today will be mostly cloudy with peeks of sun as breezes remain somewhat light (5-10mph) from the N-NE. Temps will only reach the upper 30's perhaps tapping the 40° mark.
