Gales are back!


Mornin'! It's currently 48° in Wildwood. Temps are much cooler today. Actually feels cold, but the sun is bright and strong. The winds are even stronger. The gale force winds are coming out of the WNW at 40mph with gusts of up to 50-60mph! You talk about "howling"...they are doing just that as I type. The winds will be their worst late this afternoon and this evening. The Nat'l Weather Service is talking "preparedness" in case of power outtages. Whew! Talk about a bad hair day/night...just give it up but be prepared! It's gonna be sunny all day as the temps stay in the high 40's and the ocean is churning with winds and gales that will be relentless for hours and hours to come. I'd suggest staying away from any boating activities and also...wear a hat, bandana or hood up if you're heading to Sam's for a slice today. High tide: 8:21p.m.; Low tide: 2:11p.m.; Ocean temp: 44°. The moon is just still slightly full and bright so a couple things...watch the tide waters...don't drive through them and the moon rise tonight is at 7:42p.m. 29 days until Spring!

Gale force winds: I can handle that.
Gale force eyebrows? Not so much.
