Fern's Making Plans To Visit

Mornin'!  It's 19° in Wildwood NJ.  It's still dark but clear with beautiful starlit skies.  No breezes to note thus no windchill.  But, it's extremely cold outside. Thankfully, it'll be a clear, sunny, blue-sky day with temps in the low-40s and S-SE winds at 15-20mph.  Tonight... partly to mostly cloudy, temps in the upper 30s and SW winds at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow... another sunny day with some afternoon clouds drifting in, temps in the upper 40s and West winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... clear with a few clouds into the overnight, temps in the low-30s and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Friday... partly to mostly cloudy, temps in the low-40s and W-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Friday night... partly cloudy, temps dropping into the teens as it'll be around 17° with N-NW winds at 15-25mph making it feel like the single digits.  As for this Nor'easter "Fern" which sounds full of herself and superior to me is still formulating and getting her s#^% together, but we all need to seriously pay attention and prepare just in case as we could see some extreme cold temperatures, very strong winds and very heavy snowfall.  Everybody (the local weather man, the weather channel, the Nat'l weather service, AccuWeather are all reporting the same thing... "wiggle room", "all components are not lined up yet",  "the players are not all on the field", "monitoring the development", "potential for a major storm" etc etc. As for our coast, we're in the line of fire for Ms Fern's trajectory and visit this weekend.  No question you should give some thought what you could be facing down the Shore with this potential storm... single digit temps (with incredible windchills), icy conditions, gusty winds, and heavy snowfall are all on the table for Saturday night and overnight, Sunday, Sunday night and Monday until mid-day.  Prepare for the worst is my suggestion.  Just in case.
