Winter Weather Advisory, Wind Chill Advisory, High Wind Warning
Mornin'! It's 11° in Wildwood. Let's add the wind to that (W-NW) at 25-40mph with 50mph gusts = -14° out there in the winter tundra. There are advisories all over the place this morning. I'm surprised my home is still secure as this intensity started before bedtime last night. As I sit here I saw a part of someone's house siding blowing down the street wreaking havoc. There's snow outside along with those winds. It's not much (1-3") but the winds have created some 3-4" of drifting snow. Hey, I'm not complaining as our Northern neighbors are once again being pummeled as our coast missed the blizzard bullet again. Most of my street and property isn't even snow covered due to the winds. But, let me tell ya...it's much more than a blustery morning out there. These winds could pick up and carry a chihuahua away...scary for those little guys. When my little pooch went out and raised his leg, he almost got some air time! So, with all that said, I'm sorry to say that all forecasts are saying these winds are staying checked in until at least tomorrow morning when they simmer down to 25mph. By Monday night...they'll be light and variable as 5-8" of the white stuff is supposed to hit the coast Monday night and Tuesday. I'm keeping my eye on that next one. For today...sunny and W-I-N-D-Y (NW 46-53mph) as temps will stay just about were they are now...low teens. Tonight...single digits and winds and that's a painful wind chill factor! Ol' Man Winter is showing his nasty self as Spring begins to peek around the corner (33 days until Spring). Be careful out there! High tide:4:49p.m. Low tide:10:38a.m. Ocean temp:37° Sunset:5:36p.m.
A daily weather forecast of Wildwood, New Jersey. I'm a lover of the weather and more importantly the sea, sand, tides, sunrises, sunsets and moon charts. I've discovered since living here on the island (2004) how different our weather is than the mainland. Or, better yet, the Philadelphia area where I was born and raised. Lucky for me my family spent just about every summer vacationing in Wildwood. I did the same while raising my own children. I'm blessed to have been able to call it home as being "down the shore" full time is pretty amazing. People always ask, "How bad is it in the Winter?" You know what they say... "If you're lucky enough to live by the beach, you're lucky enough." As for this weather thing... I will never get used to the fact that when there's a snowstorm in Philly, it could be a misty/rainy, almost mild Winters' day in Wildwood or if there's a Nor'easter bringing Wildwood to its knees, it could be a cloudy, windy day in Philly. These towns are less than two hours apart. Since my Philly family and friends always assume that I'm having the same weather as the big city, I began blogging about Wildwood NJs weather to keep the record straight.
