Mornin'! It's 34° in Wildwood NJ. It's still, clear and starlit with a side of brininess. It's one of those mild, winter, dark mornings with the smell of the sea and/or harbor heavy in the crisp air. It's one of my top ten favorites...right up there with a nice sunrise or a lovely beach day. The aroma immediately hits the olfactory receptor nudging my memory of being a child sitting in the backseat of the family station wagon with windows down allowing the sticky, summer air in while Dad asked if we could smell the Shore while entering the Tuckahoe area on our long drive to Wildwood each summer. That aroma meant nothing but "great" to me as a kid. So for today's seashore weather...same as yesterday but with some cloud cover thrown in. Temps will be in the mid-upper 40s with hardly a breeze out of the W-NW 4-7mph. Tonight...partly cloudy with temps in the upper 30s / low 40s. Breezes will shift a bit around dinner time from the S-SW at 10-15mph and then by bedtime shift from the South at 5-10mph. Tomorrow will continue to have mild temps and be mostly cloudy prepping us for Tuesday's gray, blustery, rainy day (homemade chicken noodle soup day). Today though...if it's anything like a repeat of yesterday like they say then we're in for another treat. I'm not exaggerating when I say it actually felt like there was a glint of Spring in the air! I took advantage and washed winter jackets and hung them on an outside clothesline. I also took a walk up to the boardwalk to see the Kennel Club dog show and enjoyed some of that great weather. Oh, and "Go Eagles" (my home team) as we've got the Super Bowl in our sights!!!
