still dropping overnight

The first Winter blast has come and gone. Now it's buddy comes roaring down and slamming the SE NC Coast. The ocean temps, at Wrightsville Beach, fell last week from the low 60's to the upper 50's and now they continue to fall. I got out for some unsuspected swell on Sunday. 4/3 and boots, no gloves or hood, and ducking resulted in some head freezes. It's now 51.4 as I post this at Johnny Mercer's Pier and with overnight temps forecast to hit the upper teens it will probably be in the upper 40's before the week is out. 4/3's, boots gloves and hood's will probably be the norm for the rest of Winter. This sucks! I was hoping we would make it to mid-January before the water hit the forty's but I got a feeling we will be there soon. We may be in for a long Winter. I guess I could live in the North Atlantic somewhere.
