Warmest of the Weekend

Mornin'!  Happy Birthday to my hubby today♥! Happy Memorial Day 2012! A tip of the hat to all those who have served our country.  Thank you.  It's 71° this warmish Wildwood morn.  Sun's trying to shine, but clouds are winning out at the moment.  Clouds will eventually lose out as it'll be mostly sunny and the warmest one of the holiday weekend as temps tap the 80° mark.  Winds will be out of the S-SW at 10-15mph.  Pretty much like yesterday but a wee bit more humid and warmer.  Let the exodus begin.

The Holiday Weekend Loveliness Continues

Mornin'!  It's 68° in WW this morning.  Sun's up and there's not a cloud in the sky as it's another perfectly, lovely day at the Shore.  It'll be a tad on the warmer side but dry and a bit humid as temps could just tap the 80° mark.  That ol' seabreeze continues to cool us off coming more out of the South at 10mph.  Looks pretty much the same for tomorrow but even warmer for the holiday.  There's a chance of a pop-up thunderstorm late today but everywhere I've checked said we're too far south to be affected by them.  Fog could develop tonight which is perfect in my opinion.  Went to the beach yesterday and while sitting relaxing under my umbrella... if I said it once, I said it 15 times, "I can't believe how many people are on this beach today."  It's one thing to see this island completely jammed packed, but the beach and even the ocean was loaded.  It was completely reminiscent of a hot July 4th weekend.  Like someone came to this sleepy, pretty much "dead" town and hit the big, neon switch "Open For Business."  You know..."If you build it; they'll come."  My motto is, "If you can't beat them, join them."  See you at the beach today!  Oh...sunblock...don't forget the sunblock.

It's the Kick Off! Thanks to All who have Served!!!

Mornin'!  It's a perfect 66° in Wildwood as the island stirs.  The sun is up and shining away without a cloud in the sky.  I can hear seagulls laughing, non-stop yapping neighborhood dogs, some neighbors are out on their porches talking and laughing loudly while big SUV's with their boats hitched bumping noisily down the street heading toward the boat ramp. There's giant kites floating over the beach as I gaze toward the sea from my porch.  Memorial Day services are being readied.  We're alive and livin la vida loca baby.  There's a lovely seabreeze wifting (I mean wafting) in all the front windows.  The Wildwood's Memorial weekend is kicking off with some perfectly, gorgeous weather.  It'll hit the mid 70's with Southerly seabreezes taking the steamy edge off all of us all weekend long.  Same for tomorrow.  Same for Monday (albeit warmer).  One word: Sunblock.

Happy Memorial Weekend

Mornin'!  Happy Memorial Day Weekend!  Let's keep all those who've served this country on the forefront of our minds as this weekend's really all about them.  Thanks to you all.  Even though it's the Friday of Memorial Weekend, the party has started as the island's beginning to bulge ever so slightly plus Keenan's is serving up eggs while tapping their kegs as I type. I'm making today the official start to the holiday weekend.  It's going to be a beauty too.  Today...ditto on yesterday and pretty much the same for Sunday.  That is...each day will begin with mid-60's temps, temps reaching the low-mid 70s's, patchy morning fog, mix of clouds and sun, chance of a pop-up thunderstorms, breezes off the sea (SE) at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow will be a bit different albeit more pleasant with warmer temps and less clouds and more sun (don't forget sunblock) and no rain.  It's all good.  There's so much going on in Wildwood this weekend...you'll have to check it out yourself.  http://www.wildwoodsnj.com/ and http://www.capemaycountyherald.com/ is chock full of event coverage.  Be safe and have fun everyone!

Ditto

Mornin'!  It's 63° in Wildwood.  Sun's up but the sky and horizon are overcast with a bunch of clouds so it's looking a tad on the gray side for yet another start to the day.  The morning will continue to have patchy fog and as Ms. Sun does her best to burn it off, there will be periods of hazy sunshine.  I'm thinking more ditto of yesterday as it'll be mainly dry, partly cloudy and/or partly sunny today with a 30% chance of a rain shower/pop-up thunderstorm. Seabreezes will be out of the SE at 10-15mph as temps just tap 70°.  It'll be "ditto" for tomorrow too.  But, Saturday...still looking like a nice one; the nicest of Memorial Weekend 2012!

Staying Unsettled

Mornin'!  It's 62° in WW.  Happy Hump Day!  Happy "World Turtle Day"  It's going to start out with morning patchy fog and begin to clear as the day progresses.  Breaks of clouds will provide some peeks of sunshine.  It'll be more dry than wet however, there's a 30% chance of rain showers or afternoon/evening thunderstorms. Temps will tap the 70° mark.  Winds will be out of the S-SE at 10-15mph.  Weekend's beginning to look a bit unsettled as well.  Saturday's looking like the most pleastant of the Holiday weekend.  I'm still on it.

Get your turtle costumes or jewelry out today to support the tortoises of the world! "World Turtle" day was created as an annual observance to help people celebrate and protect turtles and tortoises and their disappearing habitats around the world. World Turtle Day was started to increase respect and knowledge for the world’s oldest creatures.  (I just found out that a Turtle I know savors "red leaf" lettuce.) These gentle animals have been around for about 200 million years, yet they are rapidly disappearing as a result of the exotic food industry, habitat destruction and the cruel pet trade. Each of us can just be aware and do a few small things that can help to save turtles and tortoises for the next generation. Never buy a turtle or tortoise from a pet shop as it increases demand from the wild. Never remove turtles or tortoises from the wild unless they are sick or injured. If a tortoise is crossing a road or street, pick it up and send it in the same direction it was going – if you try to make it go back, it will turn right around again.  Sounds like some people I know.

More Gray Today

Mornin'!  It's 62° under drizzly skies this gray, very wet morning.  Temps will get a few degrees higher (upper 60°s today) as the drizzlies continue (50% chance).  Speaking of chances...thunderstorms could make their presence known after lunchtime.  There's an off-shore breeze at the moment from the E-NE at 10mph and will shift up a bit this afternoon from the E-SE.  The rest of the week isn't looking as gray and ominous, but will have its rainy moments.  On a good note...the weekend continues to look brighter and brighter.  Yay!
