Good morning, Happy Saturday. Cold start to this morning, around 26 degrees but clear. Later today look for a high of 42 with a few clouds creeping in, which is about 4 degrees below normal. Sunset tonight is at 7:07 pm, which is 1 minute and 12 seconds later then yesterday. Civil twilight when it gets hard to see outside is 7:38 pm tonight. 12 hours and 8 minutes total of daylight today.

The latest models show the winter storm pushing further off the coast, so continued cool but sunny weather for Sunday with a high only around 40. Some clouds may push in during the evening but precipitation seems increasingly unlikely. Winter has mostly kicked the bucket, the first day of calendar spring is Sunday.

13 years ago today was the start of the Iraq War. It seems like it was just yesterday. How quickly things change. Fortunately, it seems like this chapter of American history has rapidly come to a close but it reminds us to be wise towards selection of our president.

No real plans for today, but I’m thinking about going for a walk along the new Normans Kill bike trail for a bit. Or I might go somewhere in the hill towns for a hike. We will see.
