The Meltdown Begins

WWs Pacific Avenue Webcam Shot

Mornin'!  It's 30° in Wildwood NJ.  It feels like 18° with the NW winds blowing over the snowy island at 18-22mph +gusting.  By my estimates, Wildwood received all kinds of snow accumulation depending on where you measured.  Since it was snowing sideways (thanks to the hurricane force winds), some got 8" while other sections got 16".  We shoveled and moved snow around my property of upwards of 18" in some spots.  Thankfully, we got what we needed cleared away including the sidewalk, driveway and our vehicle that the City plowed in (along with the fire hydrant on the corner which got plowed in and buried in their attempts to correct what Hernando made unsuitable). 
We're under partly cloudy conditions at the moment. Not sure how today's meltdown will be as we're going to have a cold, partly sunny day with a mix of sun and clouds, temps in the low-30s and W-NW winds at 15-25mph +gusting.  Speaking of meltdown... after today, it looks like we're going to have temperatures in the 40s for at least the next 5 days as some of Hernando's dumping will slowly melt away.  As for tonight... partly cloudy becoming cloudy late with 50% chance of rain showers, temps in the low-30s and S-SW winds at 15-25mph.  The rain will certainly add to the meltdown.  Tomorrow... rain showers early with sunshine later in the day, temps in meltdown mode at 45° with SW winds at 15-25mph.  Chance of rain is 60%.  Tomorrow night... cloudy, temps in the upper 30s and SW winds at 10-20mph.  Thursday... partly cloudy start giving way to occasional rain showers (60% chance), temps in the low-40s and NE winds at 5-10mph.  Thursday night... rain, temps in the low-30s and N-NE winds at 5-10mph.
