As it appears that whelm means pretty much the same thing as overwhelmed, it is possible to be merely whelmed.

Yup. It sure is. I like whelmed better than OVER whelmed. It's a cool feeling.

of course you can! :)
whelmed is to be covered or submerged. most people just say that they are overwhelmed. but whelmed alone is appropiate and correct

whelm
c.1300, probably from a parallel form of O.E. -hwielfan (W.Saxon), -hwelfan (Mercian), in ahwelfan "cover over;" probably altered by association with O.E. helmian "to cover" (see helmet).
