  • Sunday Sights

    Watched the sky colors change from bright pink…to gold…to a soft blue…all during a long morning beach walk.  Nice start to a busy work day!

  • The Shore’s (Chilly) Little Secret

    A common statement: “I can’t wait until spring”.  Yet shore residents say it with a bit less enthusiasm.

    It’s not that we want the brutal winter weather to continue…it’s just that “spring” by the ocean is often VERY chilly.

    This time of year, the sea breeze kicks in- blowing cold, damp air over the island.  Inland (off shore) it can be warm and sunny.  Cross over the bridge, and the temperature drops at least 10 degrees (of course we LOVE this phenomenon in July!)

    So if you are coming down, bring a few extra layers for a long walk on the beach 😉

  • Sunny View

    With the dunes to block the wind, and the warm sun on my face…I feel optimistic that spring will EVENTUALLY arrive!

  • Saturday Sights

    Only a “glimpse” of a sunrise this morning.  Temperatures have improved, but the sea breeze is keeping it chilly on the beach.  Overall, not a bad day for the (crazy) Polar Bear Plunge participants in Sea Isle City!

  • Storm Chasing

    Left the office for a few minutes to check out the ocean.  Best spot to see the power of a Nor’easter?  Front and center on the northeast corner of the island.

    I was at a safe distance from the water on Avalon’s 8th Street jetty…but returned to work a bit “salty”!

    Sending warm thoughts from the beach!  Happy Valentine’s Day 🙂

  • Sunday Sunrise

    This was our brief glimmer of Sunday sun. Tomorrow, we may wake up to a coating of snow.  SO ready for spring!
