  • Water Views

    Calm and reasonably mild earlier this morning for my walk.  Pretty reflections off the back bay adjacent to Stone Harbor Point.

    Winds are howling now!  Counting down to spring…

  • Full Moon Tonight

    And we have BIG plans!

    Ocean front dining at dusk while watching the moon rise.  Ahhhh…..

    The actual details:  picking up sandwiches from Wawa, and then a beach ride in the Jeep 😉

    Hey, now you know the answer to the age old question:  “What do you do in the winter?”

  • Hello February

    Almost balmy temps in comparison with recent days.  And no wind!

    Other than the ice encrusted jetty…it looks like a summer day 😉

  • Transfer and Rental Inspections

    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:

    smokeDetec1) 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.

  • Back to Normal…

    Well, for January!  Flurries and sunshine this morning.  A light coating of snow.  And, it’s COLD.

  • Stormy Night Ahead

    Only rain so far in Avalon and Stone Harbor, NJ.  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.

  • Beautiful Sunday Sights

    Pay no attention to that weather forecast 😉  It’s a beach day!

  • Weather?

    Winter weather at the shore is a roller coaster of temperatures and conditions.

    The wind is a huge factor of course:  north west = COLD; north east = stormy/damp; south west = a winter reprieve; and south east  = a chilly spring like day.

    Still worthwhile to dress accordingly…and enjoy the views!
