Fairly Decent Thursday - 27 Days Until Spring

Throwback Thursday - circa 1955
Mom and Dad and Me on Wildwood beach
Mornin'!  It's 37° in Wildwood NJ.  We're under thick cloud cover.  Very light breezes hardly noticeable are wifting (wafting) over the island from the N-NW at 4-6mph. Everything seems to be dry although it feels damp outside.  No snow.  No rain puddles.  All the uproar and "run for bread and milk" panic was for nothing.  We had a light wet mix of snow (only landing on grassy surfaces) which was followed by rain and totally washed everything away yesterday without any flooding.  Another big hype for "just in case".  Today we're mostly in the clear but Ms Sun's not making her grand entrance until this afternoon.  The clouds are kind of sticking around today making it a partly sunny / partly cloudy day.  The good news is that it'll be mild as we just might tap 50°!  Breezes will be out of the W-NW at 10-15.  Tonight... Partly cloudy with temps in the low-40s and W-NW breezes still checked in at 8-10mph.  One forecast did mention the possibility of fog today and tonight... just an fyi.  Oh, and the Saturday forecast with a high of 41° still has rain but now it's not supposed to begin around 1-2p.m. not
until after the Plunge at 11a.m. (not that the Plungers care as they're getting wet one way or another).
High tide:9:06a.m.
Low tide:3:16p.m.
Ocean temp:40°
Sunrise:6:41a.m.
Sunset:5:45p.m.
