First Of March - Mardi Gras - Spring (In Meteorological Terms)

Mornin'!  Happy Mardi Gras!  Happy March!  Happy Spring!  It's 37° in Wildwood  NJ.  Ms Sun's been up and shining through some hazy cloud cover this morning. Breezes are currently out of the SE at 7-10mph. Spring really isn't until March 20th but all the weather meteorologists call March 1st their first day of Spring. It isn't official until that Spring Equinox which is when the Sun crosses the Equator line on to the North side a little later this month.  For today's first day of March, expect a mix of sun and clouds (hazy sky) with a high near 50° and Southerly winds at 10-20mph.  Tonight... clearer with a few clouds in the sky and temps near 40° with W-SW winds at 10-15mph.  Tomorrow... mostly sunny, high near 50° and West winds at 5-10mph.  The new moon is tomorrow (I actually thought it was today) but those high tides have been super high as of late.  Be aware of those low-lying areas on the island that could get some seeping high tide waters.  In honor of Mardi Gras, I've got the beads, shrimp po-boys for dinner and king cake for dessert!
