Wildwood's looking down the barrel of Mr. Precipitation

Mornin'!  It's 41° in Wildwood this early morn.  It's dry, the sky is dark and thickly cloud covered.  The breezes are light from the NE at 6-8mph.  First let me say that this past weekend was incredibly mild and lovely with temps tapping the 50's as yesterday Wildwood saw 56° with sunshine and brilliant blue skies.  Winter's-a-knocking again and everything's about to change from the looks of every TV channel that's broadcasting a fairly big storm coming right over the tri-state area.  Reading, Doylestown and those western areas are getting hammered with snow as I type.  The Philadelphia region won't escape the wrath of yet another winter storm either but they're receiving rain right now.  As for Wildwood today...we're not going to dodge the precipitation...first rain; then a wintry mix and finally the dreaded ice pellets throughout the entire day.  We could even see a few inches of snow.  This badboy just hasn't hit the coast yet.  But, it's coming...100% chance.  I can almost feel its presence in the shadows.  Not to mention it'll stay checked in until tonight.  Temps are going to drop back into the low-mid 30s as winds ramp up a bit from the E-NE at 18-25mph.
