  • Blizzard- Saturday 6am

    Power was out for almost 2 hours early this morning- thankfully, back on now (with occasional flickers).  Snow plows running all night.  High winds blowing snow sideways.  Looks incredible outside- glad to be indoors with working heat!

  • Friday- 7pm

    snowfallingThe snow is here.  Temperatures still above freezing, so not covering the roads.   Wet, heavy flakes.

  • Calm B4 Storm

    oceanFebTemperatures in the mid-40’s, and calm south east winds bringing moisture and a fresh, salt air smell to the coast.

    Hard to imagine this changing to blizzard like conditions over the next few hours!

    Checking the NOAA web site for updates:  http://www.erh.noaa.gov/phi/

  • Wildlife on the Beach

    Expecting MORE snow on the beach this weekend.  Will post updates here and on Twitter:  http://twitter.com/AnnDelaneyBeach

  • It’s a Beach Day…

    SealFebFor a seal!

    I get excited when I find sea glass on my beach walk.  Imagine my reaction when I saw this little guy?

     

     

     

     

    sealFebThe Stone Harbor police dispatcher said she knew about the seal, and had talked with someone from the Brigantine Marine Mammal Stranding Center.  Apparently, the seal is just sunning himself by the dunes- and the pink marking on his head indicates he was found doing the same thing last week in Wildwood Crest!   A real beach bum  😉

  • Seriously??

    seriouslySnow overnight…and another storm expected this weekend.

  • Rental Inspections

    The Boroughs of Avalon and Stone Harbor require annual inspections for all rental properties.  The Department of Fire Prevention checks for safety issues and code violations.

    All rental properties must have smoke detectors (within 10′ of each bedroom, and at least one on each floor), GFI outlets within 6′ of a sink, and carbon monoxide detectors in homes with gas /oil, a fireplace, or an attached garage.  A commercial grade fire extinguisher (serviced annually) located in the kitchen.  And no propane tanks (for gas grills) on decks or within 5′ of exterior walls. 

    The construction office in each town has a similar inspection for the transfer (sale) of all properties, too.

    For more information, call 609-368-5102 ext 105 in Stone Harbor; or 609-967-4220 in Avalon.
