January 28th's Full (Wolf) Moon

Mornin'!  It's 31° in Wildwood NJ.  It's cloudy and windy with N-NW winds currently at 19-23mph.  It'll be  blustery day with winds howling out of the N-NW at 20-30mph +gusting over 40mph.  The howling Wolf Full Moon is in today's forecast too.  January's full Moon came to be known as the Wolf Moon because wolves were more often heard this time of year.  It was believed that wolves howled due to hunger in the winter, but they howled to define territory, locate pack members, reinforce social bonds and coordinate hunting.  Our little Chihuahua howled a few times in his short life and it was hysterically funny.  One of those times we'll never forget. 

As for today's weather, expect these morning clouds to clear out as it'll be mostly sunny.  Sunshine or not, those N-NW winds will be howling over the island at 20-30mph +gusting creating a windchill temp in the low-mid 20s. Tonight... clear and still with gusty winds (NW 20-30mph +gusting) with temps in the low 20s (feeling like 12°)! Tomorrow... another very windy day with gusting, a few clouds from time to time and a high of 31° (feeling like the teens).  Saturday... sunny and not as windy.  Sunday... wet as this potential winter storm checks in along the Coast.  It's looking like we could get over an inch of the white stuff.  One thing's for sure, Sunday will be wet, windy, cold and a day to be inside with a good book and mug of tasty soup.  As for the loss of our Freddy, it's been getting better with each passing day but yesterday not so much.  It's the quiet around here that's the toughest.
