Cape May, NJ – If you want to walk on Higbee Beach, you’d best check the tide tables. Hurricane Sandy caused massive erosion, both of the Delaware Bay beach and the dunes. So much so that most of Higbee Beach now disappears at high tide. On this particular high tide, there was little [...]
Cape May, NJ – For the second time in a week, Cape May dodged a bullet and was spared the wrath of a powerful storm. Just as our anxiety about Hurricane Sandy was subsiding, the National Weather Service reported a new, powerful nor’easter heading our way. Thankfully, the new storm, named Athena by The Weather Channel, did not deliver [...]
Sandy’s still out at sea and yet, even on the lee side of the Cape May peninsula, water levels are rising to flood levels this morning.

Cape May, NJ – Another Red-tailed Hawk! It was my 11th since leaving Cape May and I’d not even made it to Somers Point. The date was February 24 and spring was barely in the air. Red-tailed Hawks were in the air, doing what they always do when spring is about to pop in South [...]
Cape May, NJ – When you see a Coastie running on the beach in his shorts on an early February afternoon, something’s amiss. The average temperature for the month of January 2012 was five degrees warmer than usual - about 40º F, compared to the more typical 35º F. For three months in a row [...]
Cape May, NJ – If Cape May’s weather has seemed warmer than usual in December, the reason is that it has been warmer. A lot warmer.
