Freezing, Sunny Thursday


So yet another freezing bitter day begins. Temperature is 30 degrees and feels like 20 when the ocean breeze kicks in now and then. Thankfully the sun's shining brightly and will shine all day today. It feels nice. Tonight...a different story. The snow is coming. Snow flurries will begin this evening and continue snowing throughout the night into tomorrow afternoon. We may get some accumulation. I'll be keeping a close watch. It's pretty neat here on the island when it's this consistently cold. For one, the Harbor's ice continues to grow wider into the bay and thicker and whiter and chunkier along the shoreline. The tides create their own ice sculptures along the shore as they try to ebb and flow. Also, the streets along the curbs which fill and empty with tide water every day have a foot or more of ice along all the street curbs which is going nowhere due to the cold temps. Some streets in Wildwood have some tough parking issues due to the ice that remains. 71 days until Spring.
