Dear Weather,
This weekend was not hot.
It was not cold.
There were no gale force winds. There were no land falling superstorms, nor blizzards. There was no Polar Vortex nor a heat wave. There were no tornado warnings in Manahawkin or meteotsunamis breaking across the rocks in Barnegat Light. Long Beach Township didn’t have to redirect any traffic.
There was no nor’easter, or sou’easter. There was no coastal flooding, no tidal flooding, no nuisance flooding, nor flash flooding. There was no State of Emergency at Chowderfest.
