Groundhog Day

Today's Moonset Shot - Ottens Harbor

Moonset Shot - Fifth Ave. Boat Ramp  

Mornin'!  Happy Groundhog Day!  Groundhog day can feel like a pivot point toward Spring, but there's usually much more snow, cold and winter days to come for many cities across the USA.  With that said,  we'll have to wait for today's sunrise for Punxsutawney Phil to see his shadow or not.  I'll check back later.  The groundhog just saw his shadow... 6 more weeks of winter.  Whatever. 
It's 20° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 7° with that ol' windchill doing its thing.  Winds are out of the NW at 15-20mph and it's clear and moonlit.  It'll be a sunny Monday with temps in the low-30s and NW winds at 15-25mph making it feel like the teens.  Tonight... clear and cold, temps in the low-20s and W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, temps in the upper 30s and W-SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... cloudy with 70% chance of snow showers developing, temps around 30° and winds light and variable.  We could see up to an inch. Wednesday... waking to snow showers, partial sunshine later in the day, temps in the mid-30s and N-NW winds at 10-15mph.

February's In The House Along With The Full Moon

This Morning's Webcam Shot - WW Crest

Mornin'!  February's here!  Welcome!  It's 16° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 2° due to the N-NW winds at 20-25mph +gusting.  It's noisy, cloudy, gray and ominous outside this morning.  The winds are howling big time and it's still freezing.  Ms Sun's up but nowhere to be seen this morning.  She may start to peek in this afternoon as temps rise into the mid-upper 20s.  The N-NW winds aren't going anywhere though... 25-35mph +gusting today and full of salt and sand smacking you as hard as it can.  Tonight... we'll probably catch some of that Full "Snow" Moon as it'll be partly clear / partly cloudy with clear skies overnight, still very, very cold at 18° and NW winds at 15-25mph making it feel like 4°.  Tomorrow... a bright and sunny day with temps in the low-30s!  The winds will have simmered down to 15-25mph out of the NW.  Tomorrow night... clear and cold with temps in the low 20s feeling like the mid-teens and W-NW winds at 10-15mph.  We missed the Gianna bullet that's for sure.  February has given us some extraordinary storms and Gianna wasn't one them.  In February 2010, we had six snow storms.  Lest not forget Snowmageddon the first week of February 2010 (22" fell not including the high drifts along with no power in Wildwood for 6 days).

The Last Of January

Getting The Snub From Gianna

This Morning's Webcam Shot - North WW

Mornin'!  It's  14° in Wildwood NJ.  It's more like -1° with the windchill from the NW winds at 10-15mph.  Ms Sun just rose over the horizon and thankfully another sunny day is ahead.  Expect a bitterly cold day with plenty of sunshine, and a high of 21° feeling more like 5° with NW winds at 15-20mph.  Tonight... partly clear, moonlit skies, still very, very cold with temps around 11° feeling like -5° from the N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... partly cloudy with some sunshine, temps around 24° feeling like 10° and North winds at 10-20mph.  There's a 20% chance of snow showers / snow squalls.  Tomorrow night... cloudy with 60% chance of snow (just over an inch), very gusty winds developing overnight.  Temps will be in the mid-teens feeling like 0° from the North winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Sunday... as Gianna veers off the coast, while still heading north, she'll barely graze us. It'll be a gray day with gusty winds and flurries or snow showers forecasted (30% chance) as we may not see any snow accumulation at all and just get a dusting to barely an inch.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 20s feeling like 10° or less due to the winds which are what we'll be dealing with out of the N-NW at 20-30mph +gusting.  Sunday night... partly cloudy, gusty winds out of the NW at 20-30mph +gusting over 40mph, temps around 20° feeling like 4°.  Monday... Ms Sun returns with balmy temps and a high of 33° feeling like 18° with those gusty winds staying checked in.  At this time, no one is forecasting or reporting snow accumulation for our coast other than flurries, snow showers or a coating to an inch from Gianna.  This storm seems to have its focus on our southern (Carolinas, Georgia and Virginia) neighbors this time.  According to my research, they're the ones with snow accumulation coming their way.  Be safe!

Cold Weather Advisory Continues

Mornin'!  It's 16° in Wildwood NJ with a windchill of 2° as the NW winds are 12-17mph.  We're still frozen solid on the island.  But, thankfully we're going to have sunshine again today.  Expect a mostly to partly sunny day as some clouds are in the mix.  Winds are making their presence known but will becoming really gusty out of the NW at 20-30mph keeping us in those single digit windchills.  Temps will be around 23° but feeling more like 8°.  Tonight... clear and moonlit, temps around 14° with NW winds at 10-20mph making it feel like 3°.  Tomorrow... another sunny day with a high of 22° and NW winds at 10-20mph creating that windchill.  Tomorrow night... partly clear, temps are 11° with N-NW winds at 10-20mph.  Saturday... partly cloudy start giving way to a cloudy day, temps in the low-20s with North winds at 10-20mph.  Saturday night... a potential winter storm checking in with snow, temps around 15° and North winds at 25-35mph.  Sunday... the potential winter storm continues with snow in the morning tapering off by the afternoon, temps in mid-upper 20s with N-NW winds at 25-35mph.  Sunday night... mostly cloudy, temps in the upper teens and NW winds at 20-30mph.  As for more info on Gianna, it's a bit early this morning and all my weather sources have not yet been updated with information on this next winter storm.  Stay tuned as I'm regularly checking for updates.

Sunny Hump Day

WW Boardwalk - Beach Cam Shot Today

Mornin'!  It's 19° in Wildwood NJ.  It's feeling more like 7° with the NW winds at 10-15mph.  It's clear and I guess you could say "crisp".  There's quite a bite in the air actually and I'm talking frostbite.  Ms Sun's on her way and my guess is will be doing whatever she can to warm things up although she's got an uphill battle.  Expect plenty of sunshine this morning and by this afternoon... a cloudy day.  Temps will only rise a few degrees into the mid-20s with W-NW winds at 10-20mph.  It'll feel like a high of 12° today.  Tonight... partly clear / partly cloudy with temps around 15° and NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... basically a repeat of today with mostly sunny conditions, afternoon clouds, temps in the mid-20s and NW winds at 15-25mph making it feel like 10°.  Tomorrow night... clear, temps around 15° with NW winds at 15-25mph.  Friday... sunny, temps in the mid-20s and NW winds at 10-20mph.  Friday night... partly cloudy, temps around 12° and N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Saturday... that Nor'easter I mentioned yesterday is still a potential threat and is now named "Gianna".   It looks like snow showers / flurries will be developing Saturday afternoon, temps in the mid-20s and North winds at 10-20mph.  Saturday night... snow (possibly 3") with gusty winds, temps in the upper teens, winds out of the North at 25-35mph.  As often the case with these East Coast Storms (Nor'easters), there are some key uncertainties being several days away so updates are critical which I'll be keeping a close watch.  One day at a time I guess.  For today... enjoy the sun's rays while Jack Frost remains on the island!
