oh what a beautiful morning

left the house at 625am in fog.. as I got closer to the Island most of the fog started to lift..with some low clouds along the horizon decided to stop at  the Sunset Beach Veteran's Park on the ICW on the mainland side of the bridge.. 54* with no wind.. walked thru the park.. saw my lil' buddy 'Wally' then his buddy the Otter swimming along in the ICW ..Wally was happy after I gave him some 'charlie bear treats'..   a nice morning.. stopped to 'wet a line' at the Lake-- just one light hit no hookups.. the gators woke up and were out so I guess they figure it should be a sunny warm day with more on the way..

 

 

Wally looking for some goodies from me--gave him some 'charlie bear treats'

missed a nice one - clouds

this morning's Total Lunar Eclipse-- nada.. as the CLOUDS won out .. total cloud cover.. went over to the Island at 545am to check it out .. many peeps out there as the Gazebo parking lot was overflowing with cars.. so I of course stayed away from there.. picked a good location along the end of the causeway.. even had my drone at the ready .. stayed until Moon-Set at 642am.. looks like we all missed another one.. it turned into a beautiful sunny day by noon time.. 68*F.. nice.. but still disappointing not being able to see the Total Lunar Eclipse

all CLOUDS --looking west

from my Sky Map app--where it should be

 

the uglee rainy weather continues

as the rain continues since early yesterday afternoon preceded by a couple of early mornings and days of total cloud cover-- when will it end.. as of 715am still a light but steady rain that should go on thru the late afternoon today.. at least the temps are in the mid 50'sF ..the weather forecast from just 3 days ago was of course not correct.. it showed no rain for the next week--with mostly sunny skies in the high 50's- 60'sF.. argggghhhh..☔☔☔

is that an uglee radar--colorful but ugleeeeee 

PierCam looking West --raining-- 1 peep 

PierCam looking East-- no peeps raining

                                      

Rain thruout last night into this early morning

 

now at 730am- profoundly uglee -still raining

 

forecast for the rest of today until 4pm ☔

  

the next 6 days forecast- lookin' better 🌞🌞🤞🤞

 

a rip-roaring weather week

what a week of not nice weather.. clouds heavy rain with more rain and clouds ..then the temps dropped like a rock in the early morning hours the past 2 days.. no beach today as the 28*F temp this morning and North 15mph wind kept me away.. as bad as it was nothing tops the blizzard the past 2 days that hit the Northeast I-95 corridor from Virginia up thru New Jersey and New York City -Long Island area and now is pounding Boston thru New England.. the south shore of Long Island had snow totals over 30 inches from Islip to Patchogue and east to Montauk.. the weather forecast for the next week is showing temps back up into the 60's with mostly sunny days-- a most welcome forecast..

from the PierCam this morning at 7am
