Lenten Hump Day

Mornin'! It's the first day of Lent as Wildwood is 45° and the clear starlit sky turns light and pale bluish-gray. It's amazing that the temperature is a degree colder than the 46° ocean! The horizon's beginning to brighten and turn shades of coral and gold. It's looking like a winter beauty at the Shore as the warming trend continues through Friday. Temps may hit the 60° mark. There's barely a breeze at the moment, but it'll wift (oops, I mean waft) in later this morning. First, from the West, then the SW, then the S-SW all around 15-20mph with minor gusting. For the next plunge into the winter ocean on Saturday, the Leapers at the Leprechan Leap in North Wildwood will be facing much more wintry weather I'm sorry to say as temps go back to the 40's this weekend along with some 30+mph winds. Now that's a nipply chill factor. You could offer it up for Lent. I'm just saying. Today's tides...High:7:37a.m.; Low:1:53p.m.; Ocean temp: 46°; Sunset:5:45p.m. 27 days until Spring!

A comedian lamented his regret for what he gave up for Lent so he pledged to give up Lent for St. Patrick's Day.
