1-11-11 Winter Weather Advisory


Mornin'! Brrrr...I'd say a wee bit on the chilly side this morning in Wildwood as temps are 21°. The weather folk are saying "hazardous weather outlook" for later today. Let's begin with current conditions shall we? I was just outside getting the newspaper and it's still dark, freezing cold, cloudy and very still this early morn. I'm sure there will be no sunrise over the horizon with daybreak as there's no moon and not a star in the sky. Temps will rise into the low 30's and any breeze we receive today will be out of the North at 5 mph and shifting East by late this afternoon. When this shift occurs...the snow will be coming with it. This is a 12 hour snowfall event as it will snow through tonight into tomorrow morning and the forecasters are predicting 4-6 inches. Hmmm...something's a little weird on that accumulation amount, but it depends if this event is all snowfall and/or a wintry mix of ice and rain. Remains to be seen on how many inches we receive, but we'll be faced with more clean out this time tomorrow. I'm keeping an eye on Saturday's forecast for Wildwood's Polar Plunge...looking like the air temperature may match the ocean temp when those brave souls jump into the ocean! Today's Ocean temp:34°; High tide:11:53a.m.; Low tide:6:09p.m.

Hope the EMTs are on scene Saturday since a couple of the boys are getting a little too old for this type of fun. The shock can be a killer unless you drink a lot of COLD beer first.
