That Second Sucker Punch

North Wildwood, before Sandy





North Wildwood "mini" beach repleshment before Sandy





Mornin'!  It's 38° under cloudy skies.  That second "Sucker Punch" actually didn't amount to much.  I mean we got "snow" (yes...you read that right) late yesterday into the evening hours, tidal flooding, and some stiff winds but nothing compared to what was predicted.  This morning there's not much to report as this Nor'easter seems to have checked out after roaring around through the night.  It's now still and quiet as there's no winds to report at the moment.  In fact, you can hear the sound of the ocean roaring in the morning darkness; must be the clouds as they do insulate the island's sounds.  It's supposed to start clearing up today as the cloud cover is outta here and by late this morning/early afternoon...Ms. Sun should be peeking through.  Ahhh...nothing like a warm sun to change things up a bit.  Supposed to be a nice sunny, mild weekend too.  Today's temps will just be tapping the low 40° mark.  Winds will shift back out of the N-NW at 20-25mph all day making for a chilly one.

High tide:2:25p.m.
Low tide:8:21a.m.
Ocean temp:57°
Sunset:4:52p.m.
I forgot to mention that the North Wildwood Fire Company at 15th & Central Aves. is collecting non-perishables and donations of clothing, linens or whatever you got for those devastatingly hit by Sandy.  Their number is 609-729-2010.
