First Day Of Spring 2023

Mornin'!  Happy Spring!  Today's the day!  It's feeling more like a February morn as Spring was in that month. But, it's coming.  It's coming.  It's 31° in Wildwood NJ.  It's cold out there.  The birdbath is frozen.  It still with winds barely there out of the N-NW at 2-4mph.  And, good ol' Ms Sun is shining brightly in the cloudless sky welcoming Springtime.  Expect abundant sunshine today as the temps get up into the mid-upper 40s with winds out of the West at 5-10mph.  Tonight... clear, starlit skies, with barely a moon as the "New Moon" is tomorrow.  A New Moon is almost invisible but has the same impact on the Tides as a Full Moon does... much higher and lower than normal tides.  Remember too, that the tide times along the ocean side of the island are an hour before the back (marsh) side.  As the ocean's tide begins to recede, the bay and marsh will have one more hour before they peak with that high tide.  Tonight's temps will be in the mid-upper 30s with SW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... a nice Spring day with plentiful sunshine, temps in the low-mid 50s with W-SW winds at 10-15mph.  93 days until Summer!
