Mornin'! Happy St. Paddy's Day! All Wildwood schools are closed! It's 28° as NE winds are howling and snow is falling and filling up the island. Won't get much warmer today as the thermometer's going to hover around 29°-30°. There's a "Winter Storm Warning" in effect as it began snowing around 7p.m. last night and continues with white out conditions as I type. The winds are not only making it feel like 16° but they're creating big drifts everywhere including up against the front door making it almost impossible to push it open to check things out. The windows are completely covered and it's difficult to see outside. We're encased in white! It's actually hard to judge how many inches are out there. Some spots look like 4" where other spots with drifts look like at least double that. Our vehicle is not identifiable...it's just a big white dome looking totally buried. Oh you Ol' Man Winter...jonesin' for that one last hoorah before Thursday (1st day of Spring). The snow is supposed to continue until mid-afternoon (100% chance) and taper off by noon or so as clouds will hang out the rest of this St. Paddy's Day. Winds will continue to howl (NE 25-30mph +gusting) until tonight when they'll finally simmer down to 10-15mph as temps head back into the 20s. Tomorrow...Ms. Sun's going to partially return as temps may tap the 40s thank goodness. High tide: 9:10a.m. (still feeling Full Moon effects...watch for flooding)
Low tide:3:14p.m.
Ocean temp:38°
Sunset:7:06p.m.
FOOTNOTE: It's 3p.m. and it's still snowing at a good clip. BRING IT ON!!!
