    Mitchell,

    I'm pretty sure the angle of the beach in De compared with Maryland means these SSW winds are more offshore than side shore. The wind needs to be sideshore from the south to get the whole Ekman transport in motion and cause the freezing nearshore temps. I Learned that in Rutgers Oceanography class :D .
