Here in Cape May 2013-14 averaged 33.6F, 3.5F below the 1981-2010 normal.

Rain seems to be north or south of here generally, but not overnight today (18th-19th). Picked up 1.45" from 11pm-6am with thunder now and then; nothing special. Now, how humid will it be today? Ugh!

Down this way as of 7pm 1.94" for the day. Just a random drop now and then happening now. Peak wind gust E39mph at 2:19pm. Wind much lighter now.

According to NOWData seems my 52F low for this morning (9th) is a record for Cape May 2NW by 4 degrees. Felt real good!

OK. Has my permission to spend the night!

At 8pm 1.6" with a moderate fall. Temp. hanging in at 32F. For this area this month, this is doin' OK.

Guess what? FINALLY got some snow down this way! Started just before 4pm. As of 7pm the ground is covered. Temp. 32F (or close). Wind NNW 10-15mph. Will post later. A couple of inches would be nice.

At 9pm have some slush on the vehicles, more snow than rain, temp. 33-34F. Dominant wind dir. last hour NNE but trending N. Love to see the temp. drop two (three) more degrees!

Want to add the tides at the Cape May Ferry Terminal & Cape May Harbor are running about 3 feet above normal. Easily in minor tidal flooding.

Aprx. 11:45am several rumbles of thunder. Temp. 40F. Been raining heavy thought light now.

Thought I'd post this wind info. My peak gust was [email protected]:38pm. Based on one-minute wind data up to 6:45pm when I lost electric: 11 gusts of 60+mph, 147 with 50+mph. The weather station continued to work on its own battery backup but doesn't keep track of 1-minute peak gusts. I know there were more in the 50+ range. Also, it snowed(mostly snow with rain) from 2pm-10pm but nada on ground. Temp. got down to 34F.

Finally back on line! No internet for several hours. Peak gust as of 4:30pm [email protected]:38pm. Had several gusts just under that 65. Cape May Ferry Terminal shows a peak of 68mph. Been snowing more or less for about 2 hrs. Temp. 35F. I must give a big thanks to Comcast! Four tech's spent about an hour including going up in a bucket to fix my internet & tv service. Very much appreciated.

Got some sleet happening, 6:30pm, Sat. Temp. 35F.

Sunday morning (7th) low of 7F. Wind finally becoming bearable in the 5-10mph range. The blowing snow has been bad. Amazing stretch of weather!

Thank you. Glad to report whenever I can. Final total 9.8". Yes, being at climo this early, especially when not expected, is cool indeed. However, just gets me/us pumped for more. We shall see.
