Final Meltdown?

Mornin'!  It's 41° in drippy Wildwood.  When I went outside this early morn, the dripping everywhere was the most intense I've ever experienced.  I had to call my husband outside as we both were still listening to the island melting.  At first I thought a pipe broke in the darkness and water was cascading somewhere nearby. Nope...just a major meltdown.    Everything snow covered (shed roofs, outdoor shower roofs, gardens, trashcans etc) was dripping. Anyway...we'll be rid of any remnants of snow or ice in no time at this rate.  First, the temps are going up (mid-upper 50s) as Ms Sun should be showing up in about an hour.  At the moment there's a lot of cloud cover plus most forecasts say "mostly cloudy" today.  We'll probably not see a whole lot of Ms Sun today as she's checking out until Tuesday. A rain event is on its way for the weekend beginning later today (20% chance of Friday afternoon showers).  I'm hearing this is a big rain event with 3-4" due.  Add that to this weekend's New Moon and bet on it we're going to see some major tidal (street) flooding.  Ahhh...island living.  Tonight...40% of light rain as well as fog rolling in.  70-80% chance of rain all weekend just saying.
High tide: 6:38a.m. and 7:07p.m.
Low tide:12:40p.m.
Ocean temp:40°
Sunset:7:20p.m.
