Winter Keeps Having Its Way With Us

Mornin'!  It's 18° in Wildwood NJ.  The windchill is 5°.  We're under clear skies with Ms Sun about to do her thing any moment.  Winds are out of the NW at 10-15mph.  I just tried researching snow totals for Wildwood but I got nothing precise and just approximates. Due to drifting from the blizzard conditions and intense winds, I guess it's a controversial call but I'm going with anywhere from 12-15"; at least on my street and area.  Since hubby and I are the ones that did shoveling late yesterday into the evening, it took us the removal of 3-5 layers of several inches of snow before we saw the sidewalk or driveway.  I think we'll be seeing "white" for a while even though I'm hearing of a pretty major meltdown coming later this week.  For today... the Winter Tundra outside will be bright and glacial.  The snow's going nowhere.  Expect freezing, sunny conditions (some clouds in the mix) with a high of 28° and West winds at 10-15mph.  It'll feel like 16°.  Tonight... cloudy with clearing late evening.  Temps will be in the low-20s with East winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... sun in the early part of the day with a mostly cloudy day on tap.  Temps will be in the mid-upper 30s with E-NE winds at 10-20mph.  Just an fyi... Thursday... mid-upper 40s with rain.  We may see our streets and sidewalks sooner than later!  And, with all this white stuff in the mix... perhaps tidal flooding.   We're down to 49 days until Spring!

Footnote: I took a measuring tape outside and measured untouched snow next door and it measured 13.5" and that wasn't a snow drift.
