Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service

Mornin'!  It's 22° with an 11° windchill.  Ms Sun's up and shining brightly through clear skies, and the winds are out of the NW at 15-20mph.  We're in a major winter tundra this crispy, cold morning.  Thanks to the rain and wintry mix we received late yesterday into last night any leftover snow layering the island is almost gone and we now have a layer of crunchy ice encasing us.  Hopefully even with the frigid temps, Ms Sun will somehow begin a bit of a meltdown today.  We're going to have mostly sunny skies, temps in the upper 20s and W-NW winds at 15-25mph today.  Tonight... mostly clear, followed by cloudy skies overnight, temps in the mid-teens and NW winds at 10-20mph.  Tomorrow... cloudy, with temps in the low-20s and NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow night... cloudy, upper teens, NW winds at 10-15mph.  Wednesday... sunny, temps in the upper 20s and NW winds.  Happy Martin Luther King Day.  I'm hibernating today with my crocheting, a good book and of course my homemade soup (this weekend's was Cream of Potato).  Not much else is happening today.

Storm Demi's Traveling Toward Us

This Morning's Webcam Shot - Eagles Green Ferris Wheel  

Mornin'!  It's 33° in Wildwood NJ.  Ms Sun's about to cross the ocean's horizon but I have my doubts of whether she'll break through all those clouds this morning.  Winds are barely there out of the NE at 2-3mph.  It's the calm before the storm.  We've got a Nor'easter (named Demi) heading our way but the current radar maps and forecasts have Wildwood getting a mostly rain event albeit very, very windy later.  Expect a cloudy morning with periods of rain by this afternoon (100% chance), temps in the upper 30s / low 40s with winds beginning to ramp up out of the NE at 10-20mph. Tonight... rain with a wintry mix likely later this evening with snow checking in around 8pm.  Temps will drop into the low-20s with NW winds at 20-30mph +gusting. Snow accumulation won't be measurable (less than an inch).  Monday... partly sunny and bitter cold with temps in the low-mid 20s with windchills in the single digits due to those NW winds  still checked in at 20-30mph +gusting.  Monday night... clear, very cold with temps in the teens, and NW winds at 20-25mph making it feel like -2°.  As most of you know, I'm a Philly girl (born and raised) and this is one of those times when Philly and its suburbs are about to have an entirely different weather event than down the Shore.  We're seeing rain with a wintry mix tonight but they're going to have a snow event with this Storm Demi heading right for that area with snow accumulation anywhere from 3-8 inches.  And, that includes that Eagles game in Philly today.  Bundle up big time! Go Birds!

Polar Plunge Day

Mornin'!  It's 39° in Wildwood NJ.  It's cloudy as Ms Sun's probably not going on display at all today.  Winds are out of the S-SE at 10-15mph making it feel like the low-30s.  It'll be cloudy today with off and on rain showers by this afternoon.  Originally, it looked like the rain would begin around 1pm or so.  Now, it's looking more like 4pm.   Temps are going up into the mid-upper 40s with South winds at 10-15mph.  Seems like a decent Polar Plunge Day if you ask me.  If you want to go... it's on the beach at the Convention Center 4501 Boardwalk.  You can see it from afar on the Webcam (https://wildwoodinsider.com/). And, if you want to donate to the Plunge and their cause (Special Olympics... https://www.plungewildwood.org/ ). 
Chance of showers later today... 40%.  Tonight... cloudy, temps in the low-30s with West winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... this so called Nor'easter that's heading over the mid-Atlantic region has the potential for snow and ice, freezing temps along with snowfall that could be some decent accumulations.  However, our region seems to have been a part of that slight shift in the storm track with more of a rain event than what Northwest of the I-95 corridor will get (5-9 inches). We're definitely going to get those freezing cold temps and a possible coating to an inch of snow.  It won't be until Sunday night into Monday. Tomorrow will have 90% chance of rain with a wintry mix and strong winds coming in by the evening.  Tomorrow night's temps will be in the low-20s with NW winds at 20-30mph.  Monday... windy with partial cloud cover, temps in the mid-20s and dropping along with W-NW winds at 20-30mph +gusting.  Monday night... clear, temps around 13° with NW winds at 15-25mph.
