Winter Beauty

Mornin'!  It's 38° in Wildwood NJ.  It's clear and starlit with hardly a breeze (W-NW 4-7mph).  It's a lovely crisp winter's morn.  The stars are breathtaking this time of year.  I'd say between April and eh...end of September or so, you virtually cannot see the sky this way.  This tiny resort town is extremely well-lit during those months and completely hamper the ability to see the sky the way it is now...black as coal and full of twinkling stars.  Lest not forget that upcoming Full moon...as we're coming up to another Super Moon (2nd this month) and is due in next Wednesday.  Today will be a splendid winter's day with plentiful sunshine in those vivid (almost "royal") blue skies with light breezes out of the S-SE at 5-8mph and temps tapping 40°.  Tonight...clear and bright with temps in the mid-30s and breezes from the South at 13-16mph.  Tomorrow...sunny, high near 50° but blustery.  Sunday...rainy and raw and could very well be the next soup day and I'm thinking "Gumbo".
