A little high water from the NE Snowicane

What a difference a day makes.  This week we have enjoyed some warm temperatures. It is actually been nice enough to start dreaming about going fishing.  Yesterday I even dropped the skiff in the water and ran the motor for a few minutes.

That was the first time this winter that I can remember doing that without wearing a coat.  Even then the nice weather was beginning to change and had a little edge to it with a cool breeze trying to erase the memories of Tuesday's warmth.

I guess I should not complain.  At 8:30 AM we are almost to forty degrees Fahrenheit and the precipitation seems to be gone.  My friend in New Jersey is bracing for what they are calling the Snowicane.

I did see that we might get some higher tides today.  And this morning the water in Raymond's Gut is behind the marsh grasses for the first time in several weeks.

The wind has also picked up so I suspect we will see the breezy forecast fulfilled.  I would like the sunny part of the forecast to happen as soon as possible.  Like everyone, I am ready for this winter to end.
