April 3, 2016 Night

So far no snow but still a pretty cold Sunday for the first week of April. We did have a good dusting of snow on the grass this morning but it melted away by midday. Clarksville South Road was salted as you head up Derbyshire Hill but other than that not a lot of road salt. My parents reported snow squalls I need Dormansville. But that may change tomorrow.

Currently 28 degrees in Delmar under cloudy skies. Snow comes in around 3 AM. Sunrise I’d at 6:30 AM. 2 inches expected by the morning commute and another two inches by mid afternoon. Snow tapers off by evening but it will be cold enough that it probably will not all melt away tomorrow like today. 33 degrees for a high on Monday – that’s typically the average low for this time of year. Monday night may drop to 16 degrees which is only two degrees above the record low of 14 set back in 1954. Cold weather expected all week.

Sunday dinner at my parents house tonight. They cooked up soup and cheese bread. It was really tasty. Skipped my evening walk tonight. Watched the PBS Newshour Weekend this evening that I had previously taped. Apparently the Newshour Weekend program is only a half hour long. Put away my clothes and made my bed while watching. Then watched a review of the Chevy Volt that I downloaded from YouTube. What a neat car. It can run more than 53 miles entirely on battery then automatically starts a generator to charge the batteries and power the motors. I hope the technology makes it too mass produced cars, especially big pickup trucks. I’d love to creep through the woods with my motor off, use regenerative braking going down the mountains, and use cheap electricity tooling around town. It is the future for sure, which hopefully will get beyond this wiz bang auto for techy environmentalists.

Good night. I hope you had a good weekend even though it was so darn chilly.
