Winter's In The House

Mornin'!  It's 30° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 18° with the W-NW winds at 20-25mph +gusting.  It's early and still dark, starlit and clear.  Winter's here and has no intention of checking out any time soon.  Today will be partly cloudy with strong winds  (W-NW at 25-35mph +gusting).  Temps will be in the low 30s feeling like the lower 20s / upper teens.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps will be in the mid-20s with W-NW at 20-30mph but those gusting winds will eventually diminish overnight.  Tomorrow... mostly sunny with some cloud cover from time to time, temps in the mid-30s with W-NW winds at 20-30mp. Tomorrow night... cloudy with snow developing after midnight, temps will be in the upper 20s with NW winds at 10-15mph.  There's a "Winter Storm Watch" in effect from Sunday night through late Monday night.  Expect snowfall (heavy snowfall is possible) throughout the overnight into Monday. Snow will spread over our region late Sunday night and intensify through midday Monday. It should taper off Monday night.  We could see 3-5" of the white stuff Monday (some forecasts have posted 5-9" possible) with temps in the low-30s and NE winds at 10-15mph.   Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday appear to be sunny days with temps in the 30s.  You still have time to get the shovel and ice-melt ready, also the boots, hat, scarf, gloves and don't forget to fill the gas tank in your vehicle and make sure your windshield washer fluid is filled and the scraper is at hand (I also have a small shovel in the car).  It's also time to get those homemade soup fixins' gathered if you haven't already.  My beans have been soaking as well as the Christmas ham bone has been thawing overnight!  Stay safe out there.

Snowstorm-Is-A-Coming!

This Morning's Webcam Shot - Wildwod

Mornin'!  It's 32° in Wildwood NJ.  It's still dark outside but clear with starlit skies.  Ms Sun's not due to rise for over an hour.  The windchill is 24° as W-NW winds are at 15mph.  Clouds are going to begin filtering in later this morning and by this afternoon take over the skies and possibly provide us with periods of rain showers (50% chance).  Temps will be in the low-40s with winds out of the W-SW at 10-20mph.  Tonight... periods of rain (70% chance) and possibly snow showers as the temps drop into the upper 20s with those NW winds ramping up at 20-30mph +gusting.  Tomorrow... partly cloudy and windy, temps in the mid-30s and W-NW winds at 25-35mph +gusting.  Tomorrow night... partly clear from time to time, temps around 25° and gusty winds diminishing.  Sunday... sunny with some afternoon clouds, temps around 35° and W-NW winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  Sunday night... watching for a potential winter storm.  It'll be cloudy with snow showers, temps in the upper 20s and NW winds at 10-15mph. Chance of snow is 60%.  Monday... looking at a potential storm coming through Wildwood (95% chance).  Expect snowfall (all reports are saying 3-5 inches), temps in the low-30s and N-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Monday night... snow showers, temps in the low-20s and N-NW winds at 15-25mph +gusting. Another inch of snow is expected.  Start prepping!  It's looking like sometime this weekend homemade soup is part of my prep.  And, since the Christmas ham bone is in the freezer, you guessed it... Ham and Bean Soup is on the menu!  Oh... Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday look like sunny days; cold but sunny.

Very Blustery Thursday

Mornin'!  It's 35° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels more like 25° with the windchill.  Winds are blowing in from the W-NW at 20-25mph +gusting.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly but not doing much in "warming up" department.  Expect a mix of sun and clouds today with temps in the low-40s feeling more like upper 20s / low 30s with winds out of the W-NW at 25-35mph +gusting over 40mph.  Tonight... clear skies, gusty winds out of the W-NW at 20-30mph + gusting, and temps in the low-30s feeling more like the low-20s.  Tomorrow... starting out mostly sunny becoming mostly cloudy with 50% chance of showers later in the day, temps will be in the low-40s along with West winds calmer than today and yesterday at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow night... 40% chance of snow showers, temps in the low-mid 30s with NW winds at 15-20mph.  As for the weekend ahead... Saturday will be partly to mostly cloudy, temps in the low-30s with those blustery winds returning.  Sunday... mostly sunny, temps in the mid-30s with calmer winds.  There's talk of the white stuff on Monday (90% chance).  Preparedness should be taken seriously.  I'd plan on digging out the shovels, windshield scrapers, ice-melt, boots, hats, scarves, gloves etc... should I go on?  We haven't had any significant snow in a couple years.  I'd take this foretelling very seriously just in case!  We could be digging out a lot more than those shovels and boots.
