Gray Day

Mornin'!  It's 45° in foggy Wildwood NJ.  It's "Say Goodbye To January" today.  Also, a big thank you to this wintry month for being as mild as it could be.  In fact, it was one of the warmest Januaries on record.  The warmest day in January was on the 26th in 1950... at 74°.  On January 12, 2020 it was 67°.  One thing's for sure... it was a mild month this year here down the Shore.  I just hope February is as kind.
Today is kicking off with foggy conditions.  It's thick at the moment as I can barely see the Harbor from my front steps.  Breezes are out of the N-NW at 7-9mph.   It looks like a gray, wet day ahead.  Expect light rain showers off and on the by late morning turning to light rain by this afternoon.  Temps will be in the mid-40s with North winds at 5-10mph.  Chance of rain today is 80%.  Tonight... rain showers (60% chance) with temps dropping to 32° making those rain showers turning to a wintry mix of rain and snow tonight.  Winds will be out of the N-NE at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... February's first day will be cloudy kicking off the day and month becoming partly sunny later in the day making for a splendid sunset.  A few snow flurries are possible as well tomorrow as the temps will barely tap 40°.  We'll have N-NW winds at 10-15mph tomorrow as well.  Until next year January... thanks for the mild memories and we'll see ya on the other side!

I am so jealous of your beautiful January weather.
Has been the coldest Jan. here in many years. Last
couple of years don't think we got below 20. No real
snowfall nor ice to speak of.

If people outside of your area read your blog, I bet
they are seriously thinking of moving to NJ!!! I am
looking for a place that will hold 3 dogs and 40 cows,
doesn't seem to be much available close to you :-)

I've been noticing your January weather compared to mine and you're definitely the Winter winner this year. It's funny how each year the winters are so different in comparison to other winters as well as our locations. There are people from all over the world that read my blog I'm happy to report. I get a lot of Canadians checking it out as they vacation here and do their weather preparedness before hitting the road. As for New Jersey farms... here's a list of some of our farms. Anywhere from 1½ hours away to 3 hours away from our coast. Something to ponder.
