Ides of March

Same shot as Yesterday's blog

Mornin'!  Not sure what the hell was going on at 6:30 this Saturday (a sleep-in) morning, but the sirens were wailing and woke us and looks like a few neighbors as well as everyone's homes were lit up in the early morning darkness. Just didn't seem right as nothing's flooding and I didn't smell smoke.   It's 47° in overcast, cloudy Wildwood.  Breezes are swift and brisk out of the W-SW at 25-30mph.  A wee bit chilly on the island this Ides of March.  It's supposed to get nicer today as Ms Sun's on her way (not for sunrise though) as these stiff, March winds will diminish by this afternoon coming from the West at 15-20mph as temps climb into the mid-high 50s.  Should be a mostly sunny Saturday.  For tonight's St.Paddy's celebrations...much clearer and moonlit (Full Moon is tomorrow) as winds simmer down even more from the NW at 8-10mph.  Tomorrow...cooler into the 40s and some sun again will be checked in.   I might as well take the opportunity to say more snow is in the forecast as it should start Sunday night into Monday and we just might get anywhere from 4-6" of the white stuff.  I'm only typing what I've seen on forecasts and it pains me.  Hopefully just like most of all the winter storms this year, Wildwood will miss the snow bullet and we'll just get a Spring mix (and I'm not talking salads here).  One forecaster said whatever accumulations we get, it'll melt quickly due to the strength and warmth of the March sun. That makes me feel much better.  I'm sure Julius Ceasar was feeling good this weekend too. Just kidding.
