TGIF!

The Lobby at Congress Hall, Cape May NJ

Mornin'!  It's 31° in WW.  The sky is clear and starlit.  Let's talk about the sky.  The Geminid Meteor Shower which I failed to mention in yesterday's blog was last night and early this morning.  I didn't realize it was going to happen until I saw last night's evening news.  Never in my life have I seen more than one shooting star.  Last night...5!!!  Five meteors within an hour right in front of my eyes from my back yard.  I was so amazed and so enjoyed that.  Of course I had a wish with each one.  This morning though I waited in the very crispy morning for only a few minutes and saw none.  Ok...the weather forecast for today is a nice one at the Shore.  Mild temps as we'll be in the low 50's with lots of sunshine and blue skies.  Breezes will be light out of the W-SW at 10-15mph.  The weekend's looking like another 50-50 as Saturday's the better of the two days with Sunday bringing back the moisture and that moisture will be once again sticking around all next week.  Oh...this time next week...Winter Solstice!

Clouds giving way today

Mornin'!  It's 38° in Wildwood.  The sky is cloud filled and overcast.  Not a star to be found this early morn.  The ocean's roaring though as you can hear the surf six blocks away with the clouds insulating its sounds.  The cloudier...the noisier when it comes to hearing the sea.  Those clouds are supposed to break and sun should be in the mix and be predominate most of the afternoon.  Remains to be seen as the sun's doing some hiding out as of late.  It'll be high of 48° so...seasonable temps with breezes from the N-NE at 10-15mph should make for a somewhat pleasant day at the Shore.  Don't forget...new moon today so keep an eye open for any tidal flooding...don't drive through the salt water!

12-12-12

The Pool at Congress Hall, Cape May NJ

Mornin'!  It's a snappy 39° on this 12-12-12 early morn.  That's been a long time in coming and I don't mean the snappy 39°.  So, we're back to more seasonable weather today.  At the moment, it's a bit on the chilly, breezy side with clear, starlit skies.  It'll be a mix of clouds and sun today as temps head into the mid-40's.  No rain in the forecast as we begin to dry out.  Breezes will be out of the N at 10-15mph.  1 day until the New Moon (watch for tidal flooding).  Speaking of days...9 days until the winter solstice.  Might as well mention Christmas too...13 days!

Mixed bag - Happy Birthday Frank...this one's for you!

Christmas in July - North Wildwood, NJ

Mornin'!  It's 50° in WW this early morn.  The sky is partially clear as I can actually see something other than dense clouds or fog...stars are shining in the partial clearing.  Those thick clouds are sticking around as there's a chance (30%) of showers throughout the morning.  Today will be a mixed bag of clouds and some clearing later on.  Doesn't look like we'll see much rain after the morning, but all forecasters are saying today will be partly cloudy/partly sunny...your pick.  Winds will out of the N-NW at 15-20mph.  Temps will be in the mid-50's but will be dropping into the 30's tonight.

Drearies Continue

Mornin'!  It's 55° in WW as the start of the week (and my day off) is going to be exactly as how the work week ending on Friday...mild, gray, dreary, misty, periods of rain.  In fact, we may not see the sunshine until Thursday.  Just saying.  Temps are supposed to tap the 60's today so it won't feel raw and nasty.  It will be breezy though as winds will be out of the S-SW at 15-20mph.  Doesn't appear that any peeks of sun are in the forecast. The dreariness won't stop me from my holiday tasks at hand.  In fact the gray weather prompted me to get things done...the pumpkin soup came out delish yesterday; cookie dough got made; some more shopping finished; got some Cape May touring done and most important...stopped by the sea to feed the soul and keep those drearies away!

Soupy Sunday

 

Mornin'!  It's 48° in Wildwood.  Soup's on as the fog is weighing down heavily on the coast.  It's been foggy since late yesterday afternoon.  Made for perfect ambiance of an evening of walking around spirit-laden and holiday decorated Cape May last night.  I so enjoyed that.  The  fog and rain showers are sticking around all day.  It's wet and drippy but won't be actually raining until later this morning or early afternoon. (50% chance).  Doubt if we'll see any sun today.  It never showed up yesterday.  This soupy weather's going to stick around until Tuesday.  Glad I kept my  decorative baby pumpkins as they're peeled, seeded and simmering for pumpkin soup that I'm hoping we'll enjoy later.  Breezes will be out of the N-NE at 8-12mph today but there's none at the moment.

Happy Hanukkah!





Mornin'!  It's 53° in WW.  It's cloudy and still.  Those intense, heavy rains from overnight are outta here.  It'll be mild today as the temps rise into the high 50's with breezes out of the SW at 8-10mph.  It's supposed to begin clearing up as the clouds check out and peeks of sun check in by this afternoon.  Cloudiness is returning overnight and should be hanging out throughout the rest of the weekend.  Temps will continue to stay up there as we may even see 60° temps into Monday although it could be raining again by then.  Breezes will shift around too as today's SW direction will shift tomorrow from the E-NE and then again on Monday back to SW.  For the beginning of Hanukkah today, a mild one!  Happy Hanukkah!
