Amazing sights yesterday of the snow and ice surrounding the island.
The highlights: seeing the ice in the waves off of the 8th Street jetty, the huge chunks of ice along the ocean’s edge, and the fresh snow on the beach paths.
A mild 27 degrees right now, with bright, warm sunshine 🙂
Beautiful day in Avalon, NJ.  A “just enough” snow storm, AND temperatures edging  above 20 degrees (without the crazy wind).
Credit to Twitter friends @RinnMike and @rosemarydery for the clever modification of Avalon’s trademark sign 😉
Not to worry- the original slogan and sign remain intact!
I talked with a Borough of Avalon official regarding on going and proposed beach projects.
1) Beach paths in the southend of Avalon are being elevated to similar levels as the surrounding dunes. Â There were concerns during Sandy that the paths could become a route for the ocean to flow into the street (thankfully, it didn’t happen).
2) Avalon officals are working on securing a dredge for a beach fill project for the north end of the island- hopefully coordinating with Ocean City to move the equipment after their project is completed. Â The timing is up in the air, yet an early summer time frame is likely. Â If scheduled, the Borough will maintain safe beach access on as many streets as possible during the beach fill.
Both Avalon and Stone Harbor require fire safety inspections for every rental property, and prior to the transfer of ownership.
Common causes for inspection failure:
1) extension cords
2) smoke or carbon monoxide detectors more that 10 years old (hardwired units MUST be replaced with new hardwired units)
3) non-functioning GFI receptacles within 6′ of sinks
4) propane gas grill on the deck
Better to trouble shoot prior to the inspection and avoid re-inspection fees.

Only rain so far in Avalon and Stone Harbor, NJ. Â Earlier, I checked out the inlet without getting completely drenched from the ocean spray (just a little salty!)
Will post snow pictures (??) tomorrow on Twitter.

This is a tough time of year. Â Many island business owners take a well deserved break, and others keep the lights on for the loyal year round patrons.
There are breakfast, lunch, and dinner options (not just Wawa!)
You can still buy a bottle of wine from Fred’s, or a trash can from Seashore Ace.
And, several gift/clothing shops offer weekend hours.
See? Â It’s not THAT quiet!
