Mornin'! It's 41° in Wildwood. There's a chill in the air so the remaining deck Palms need to come out of the cold asap. Check. It's still dark and quiet this chilly morning. Sun's due up in about an hour and since the skies are clear and starlit, one can only assume we'll see Miss Sun rising. The clouds will begin drifting over the island today though and will become mostly cloudy with temps rising into the mid-upper 50's. No breezes yet, but a North wind will begin wafting over us at 10-15mph and shifting from the NE at 15-20mph. Rain begins after midnight. Thus, begins the Coastal Low and/or Nor'easter that's heading right for us beginning tonight through tomorrow night. There's a Coastal Flood Watch posted for tomorrow. Today's more or less the calm before the storm and Sunday's the calm after the storm. So, I'm thinking it truly could be time to consider putting the flipflops away (hopefully just temporarily) and dig out the boots. Ugh (no pun intended). I'm not complaining...as they're predicting snow. It'll probably be all around us, as Wildwood will experience a "rain event" with a chill in the air. So far, no snow as the ocean's doing its Autumn job and keeping us insulated and warmer than the mainland. High tide:9:00a.m.; Low tide:3:36p.m.; Ocean temp: 64°; Sunset: 6:53p.m.

chopping firewood warms you twice: outside and inside.
