Hump Day

Mornin'!  It's 39° in Wildwood.  At the moment while still in the early morning darkness, it's quiet except for the roar of the ocean. It sounds like there's a highway with rush hour traffic just a block away but we know better as there's no one here in this sleepy town.  This morning, there are nothing but reports of the mess of snow and ice all around us.  But, we're ok here on island.  No slush.  No snow.  No ice. We were obviously on the outer edge of this nasty overnight storm and thankfully missed the bullet again.  It's not raining but there's a light mist with cloud cover and a breeze coming from the E-SE at 10-15mph.  Those breezes will shift today and turn completely around coming from the W-SW and by dinner time NW.  By then they will have ramped up to 20-30mph with gusts of 40+mph.  All forecasts are saying there's a 100% chance of precipitation with rain and a chance of a wintry mix all throughout the day.  Temperatures should be around the mid-40's holding the ice at bay.  By dinner time, it'll be just clouds and temps dropping into the mid-20s for the overnight.  Another day at the Shore to be grateful as it looks like we missed #2 winter storm this week.
