Earth Day

Aerial of Wildwood NJ and my House

Mornin'!  Happy Earth Day!  Founded in 1970 by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson following a massive oil spill.  Our planet is an amazing place and always needing our help to thrive!  Each year on this date, more than a billion people celebrate the Earth in some way and do what they can to protect our planet from things like pollution and deforestation.  By taking part in activities (which should be done on a daily basis not just once a year) such as not throwing or leaving trash thoughtlessly, picking up litter even when it's not yours (especially here on the island as trash and plastics inevitably get blown into the ocean and marsh and as the fish consume our trash and plastics, we consume the fish), plant trees, recycle, keep from impulsively allowing water to run, turning off lights etc. The lights left on is sore spot for me. It's amazing the number of residents who come to their homes here just weekends and off and on during the summer but leave their outdoor (and some indoor) lights on throughout the entire year.  Why???  It's disgraceful.  It's wasteful energy providing light pollution at its very worst.  Not only are their outdoor lights shining into my home, there's no star-gazing as the sky is no longer clearly visible at night or how about saving electric with all their lighting carelessly left on. Let's all try to be more conscientious and keep our world a more thoughtful, happier, healthier place. 
On to the weather... it's 50° in Wildwood NJ.  It's partly cloudy as Ms Sun's up and trying to shine through the some of that morning cloud cover.  Winds are out of the South at 10-15mph.  It'll be a partly to mostly cloudy day today.  It'll start out mostly sunny becoming cloudy later this morning, then by late afternoon, the sunshine is back.  Temps will be in the low-mid 60s with S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  There's a 25% chance of rain sometime before noon.  Tonight... clear, moonlit skies, temps around 50° and light and variable winds.  Tomorrow... partly sunny and turning warmer.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 60s with North winds shifting from the SW at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps in the low-50s and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Friday... mix of sun and clouds, temps in the upper 50s and East winds at 10-15mph.  Friday night... temps in the mid-upper 40s with 25% chance of rain.  Saturday... 70% chance of rain along with windy conditions (East 20-30mph), temps in the mid-50s.  Saturday night... 75% chance of rain, temps in the mid-40s and still blustery.  Sunday... 65% chance of rain kicking off the day, temps in the low-50s and NE winds at 15-25mph.  Sunday night... 20% chance of rain, temps in the upper 40s.

Sunny Tuesday

Wildwood Beach - Still No Ferris Wheel

Mornin'!  Winter's back!  It's 36° feeling more like 31° with the N-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Thankfully, I have a gas fireplace in the living room which takes the chill out of the first floor within minutes.  The furnace is "closed for the season" and I'm abiding by it.  Ms Sun's up this morning as there's not a cloud in the sky.  It'll be a sunny day with temps in the low-mid 50s and S-SW winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy skies early becoming cloudy and very windy later.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 40s with Southerly winds at 20-30mph.  Tomorrow... 60% chance of rain in the first half of the day becoming partly cloudy by late afternoon with peeks of sun, temps will be in the upper 50s / low 60s with S-SW winds at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow night... partly cloudy, temps around 50° with light and variable breezes.  Thursday... sunny and warmer, temps in the mid-60s with North winds shifting from the W-SW at 10-15mph.  Thursday night... fair, mostly clear, temps in the low-50s and N-NE winds at 10-15mph.  You know I don't like getting ahead of myself but, this coming weekend looks like a washout according to future forecasts.  Saturday... 75% chance of rain and Sunday... 50% chance of rain.  Both days will have temps in the low-mid 50s.  Changes do happen as I'm always keeping an eye on things in the ol' weather department.

Wet Sunday

Otten's Harbor Webcam - Wildwood

Mornin'!  It's 53° in foggy Wildwood.  I swear I just heard fog horns.  Just kidding as you'd really need to get near the Delaware bay to hear them.  But, we are in the soup again as it's foggy with barely a breeze.  Everything's getting watered as it's dripping wet with the humidity at 95%.  This calmness will be taken over by the winds that will be checking in any time now. Rain is also due up by this afternoon.  Temps will only rise a few degrees into the upper 50s with NW winds at 25-35mph.  Chance of rain is 70%.  Tonight... clouds begin to filter out as it'll be partly clear and cold with temps in the upper 40s and NW winds at 10-20mph. Tomorrow... intervals of sun and clouds, temps in the mid-50s and W-NW stiff winds at 15-25mph.  Tomorrow night... clear and very cold, temps in the upper 30s and North winds at 10-20mph.  You might want to cover tender, young plants outside.  Tuesday... mainly sunny, temps in the low-50s and North winds shifting to the S-SW at 10-15mph.  Tuesday night... partly cloudy turning into cloudy overnight with a slight chance of rain (20% chance), temps in the upper 40s and South winds at 10-20mph.
