Anniversary of My Survivor Storm


Mornin'!  It's 27° in Wildwood.  This weekend 5 years ago the 2010 coastal storm took us down.  We were without power for 6 days and lived to tell the story.  We missed that Super Bowl!  We were Wendy and Jack from The Shining as our home was buried in ice and snow as we checked every nook and cranny for candles.  A couple times hubby would put a flashlight under his chin and growl "Here's Johnny".  It'll always be a memorable and poignant time in my life as it without a doubt empowered me to believe I'm  somewhat of a real survivor.  Not to mention this storm was the catalyst to inspire our first of many Key West vacations as "Jack" repeatedly swore throughout the week of the storm that "When we get through this, we're booking a Key West vacation!"
We have "halfers" this morning up in the sky.  Half of what I'm seeing...the west/bay side is overcast and thickly covered with clouds and the other half... the east/ocean side is clear and becoming brightly lit by Ms Sun as she rises and welcomes a new day and weekend.  It's looking gorgeous on that side as she paints the morning sunrise.  
It'll be dry and mostly sunny today with some clouds in the mix as temps rise up into the lo-mid 40s and breezes.  Winds will be out of the S-SW at 14-19mph.  Tonight...back into the upper 30s with breezes remaining out of the SW at 15-21mph.  Tomorrow...much of the same with even warmer temps and nothing like Feb 2010.
High tide:9:51a.m.
Low tide:3:54p.m.
Ocean temp:38°
Sunset:5:28p.m.
