So simple, and yet so beautiful!
A TASTE OF SPRING! After
what has felt like an endless winter, Tuesday's high hit 72 degrees,
giving us a taste of spring! Blue skies and warm sunshine do
wonders for the mood on the island. From the office to Wawa to
restaurants, everybody seems to be a bit happier after the warm up!
The only downside to the warm up has been intermittent patchy fog,
sometimes heavy, that has occasionally enveloped the area.
BUT IT'S TIME TO SHIVER!
Despite the recent warm weather, it's time for the Stone Harbor Shiver
Polar Plunge this weekend! The annual event includes a pre-Shiver
party at the Yacht Club of Stone Harbor Friday evening, plus Saturday
morning pre-gaming at Fred's Tavern. Participants will parade to
the beach at noon for the Shiver Showdown, followed by the main
event—the Polar Plunge—about 1:15pm. The after party at Fred's,
complete with music by the Quinn Brothers, is not to be missed! If
you're thinking the recent warm up will make the Polar Plunge a walk in
the park, think again...although Saturday's high is forecast to be about
50, the ocean water temperature is still a very chilly 38 degrees!
IT MAY NOT BE OVER! The latest
forecast from Accuweather indicates a polar vortex split may bring more
cold air to our area before it finally warms up for good, according to
an article in the Atlantic City Press. Though not a guarantee of
cold air in our region, the polar vortex split is "stronger than
normal," and may "trigger a pattern of rough weather" and an "ugly
spring," according to the article.

the summer:
