Driving back from the grocery store, I looked out my windshield and it looked like a blizzard. Just a snow squall and at this point the thermometer in my window says it’s still 43 degrees so much too warm for snow.

Snow is coming tonight and I think we will have at least 2-3 inches by the time it winds down in the morning. How much that will stick is another question. 30 degrees for the low. The chance for snow diminishes as the day progresses, and more sun plus a high around 37 degrees will melt most of the snow away. Another 2-3 inches is expected for early Monday morning but it shouldn’t impact your weekend plans. Sunrise tomorrow at 6:31 AM.

Discovered that you can download detailed labor statistics from the Department of Labor’s website for mapping, that can be used mapping. Unemployment rate and labor force size can be found at the county and municipal level (greater than 25,000 persons) back to 1990. Statewide statistics go back to 1970. All in a series of CSV files easily imported into Microsoft Excel or mapping programs like QGIS.

Yesterday I left my contracts in, as I couldn’t find my contact holder. My eyes were irritated by morning. So I went to ShopRite and bought a contact holder this evening. I also had a sweet tooth and I wanted something sweet to eat. I have been enjoying frozen fruit a lot lately, so I bought some more frozen blueberries and a big container of Greek yogurt. Talk about a treat. I thought about buying Cool Whip originally but non-fat yogurt is so much healthier. And that Greek stuff has such a nice consistency.

Good night. Be safe if you’re heading out on the roads early this morning, they may be slick.
