Unusual October Weather

Mornin'! It's 48° and raining in WW. There's a Coastal Flood Warning posted as an Autumn Storm is touching down as I type. Winds are rip-roaring coming from the NE at 20-30mph with gusting. This forecast is a tough one to write as a wintry mix (I just can't type S.N.O.W yet) is headed this way tonight. There will no accumulation. For today though...rain, gale warnings and coastal flooding is forecasted. By tonight into the overnight...high tide late along with the wintry mix and the cold windswept rain out of the N-NW with 50mph gusts will provide our first dose of Winter in October. Keep in mind, even though the island's included in this Nor'easter, with the exception of the gale warnings and island flooding, my guess is the warmth of the sea will continue to insulated us, keeping the S.N.O.W. far from here. We can only hope. I'm not getting the shovel out yet, but the heater just got turned on first time since last Spring! High tide:9:51a.m AND 10: 58p.m.; Low tide: 4:21p.m.; Ocean temp: 64°; Surf height: 9.5'; Sunset: 6:03p.m. Tomorrow: Sun's back at 7:26a.m.

If I'm not mistaken, that's a snow fence in the forefront in the righthand picture. subliminal forebodings. spooky. Halloweeny.
