It's the Weekend

Cape May - Rotary Park on Lafayette Street

Mornin'!  It's 37° in Wildwood NJ.  It's still dark and cloudy.  There's a light breeze out of the N-NW at 5-7mph and it's making it feel cooler at 33°.  The cloud cover is insulating the island and making the outside sounds more prevalent.  For a second, I thought there was a big pickup truck idling in front of my house and when I opened the door, there's not one vehicle on my street.  What I was hearing was the ocean's roar.  And, I live 6+ blocks away from the beach.  Add to that, the famously wide beach here.  Believe it or not, some parts of the beach near me are 500 yards wide.  Anyway, waking to the roar of the ocean never gets old although it caught me off-guard.  As for weather, we had our first snowfall of the season yesterday.  A heavy, thick, wet snow blanketed the island in the morning and gave us around an inch of a coating of the white stuff (mostly on lawns, trees, vehicles but none on road/street surfaces).  It disappeared quickly as a light rain followed along with not-so-freezing temps which cleaned things up.  Oh... the creamy Potato-Leek soup was a perfect accompaniment to the weather and was delicious! 
So, for today...it'll be cloudy, with temps in the low-40s and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tonight... partly cloudy, temps in the low-30s and NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow... overcast with temps in the low-40s and W-NW winds at 5-10mph.  Tomorrow night... mostly clear, with some clouds from time to time, temps in the low-30s and W-NW winds at 10-20mph.
