Summer 2015

Yes, it's been hot here in Ocean County for a while now, with temperatures well into the 80s and heat indexes well into the 90s, but it could always be worse. Much worse. Take this for example:

We are definitely in the middle of the dog days of Summer here in Ocean County. This week we've had the stifling humidity and high temperatures, so people have had to get creative to beat the heat.

As we make our way through this mid-Summer heatwave in Ocean County, it's important to remember that people aren't the only ones who can become victims of the excessive heat. A dog owner in New Jersey got a rather pointed message from local police about that very subject this week.

In the old days, you used to have to wait for strawberry season, apple season, corn season, etc to get your favorite seasonal foods. But these days, you can get pretty much anything at any time. But there are just some foods that are perfect for Summer to me.

If there's one thing that almost everyone can agree on when it comes to Summer, it's that sunburns aren't much fun, not to mention dangerous. Being that a lot of us will spend a good amount of time on our beaches and boardwalks this Summer, what are some of the best choices for protecting yourself from the sun?

Lemonade Day 2015 was a huge success on a perfect Summer Saturday in Ocean County. Skycam 927 was out at Fisher Blvd with the lemonade stands at Kearny Bank and The Four Seasons Diner, along with the WOBM Hometown Crew. Check out the view from above:

When I was at The Community Medical Center Seaside Park Boardwalk Studio for my show last Friday afternoon, going into the 4th of July weekend, I noticed something as the afternoon turned into evening - after the people cleared out, the beach was a mess.

While this weekend isn't going to be totally awful, tomorrow isn't looking like a perfect 4th of July weather-wise. Obviously, every Summer weekend isn't going to be sunny, warm, and dry. So what do you do when the weather doesn't cooperate during the Summer?
