Sunny, Calm Humpday

Mornin'!  It's 25° in Wildwood NJ.  Feels like 14° with the windchill.  Clear skies surround us as Ms Sun is up and shining down.  Winds are out of the N-NW at 10-15mph.  It'll be a sunny day with a high of 31° and N-NW winds at 10-15mph.  Tonight... clear starlit skies with a low of 23° feeling like 13° with N-NE winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... sunny, high of 32° with winds light and variable.  Then, comes Friday and Saturday.  We're watching a "potential" (they're still calling this bad boy "potential") winter storm headed in our direction and checking in Friday afternoon.   At this time (remember this can change) there's a trajectory of two storms joining forces and slamming the Coast beginning Friday afternoon.  This morning, one of the weather folk on the TV said that if this was summertime, this storm would be classified as a hurricane.  There's a storm coming from the Great Lakes region and converging with a storm that's coming up along the Coast.  They're likely to join forces right along our Coast.  The cold, wind and snowfall will begin Friday evening and continue into Saturday evening.  Temps will be in the 20s with N-NW winds anywhere from 25-45mph. Low pressure will intensify off the East Coast Friday night into Saturday.  Chance of snow at this time is 90% and it's looking like blizzard conditions with significant snow amounts.  We could receive anywhere from 6"-18" or more.   Right now, it's uncertain which exact areas will see heavy snow and total amounts are still in question.  One thing's for sure... we're getting a major snowstorm with high winds, coastal flooding and beach erosion along with heavy snowfall and drifts.  The New Moon is early next week as well and will create much higher than normal tides.  Time to get the bread, milk and eggs!  I'd suggest doing some preventative prep as well... like doing inventory on batteries, candles and chargers for your devices.  Hubby and I have our plans in place and are doing some things today and tomorrow.  We plan on filling the gas tank in the car, securing some of the bigger shrubbery on our property,  shifting and securing some items around outside for protection (planters, tarps, chairs and table etc),  making blocks of ice for coolers which will be going on the back porch in case we lose power and need to shift refrigerated items into the coolers and of course making sure our emergency kit is in order.  I'll continue to keep you informed on what's projected and the latest reports for our immediate area.
