Good evening! Mostly clear and 42 degrees at the Allegheny National Forest  outside of  Marienville. Calm wind. Really pleasant weather, I think tonight was the latest I’ve stayed out by the campfire this whole November trip. Most nights are fairly chilly and the idea of a toasty warm tent is irresistible compared to a campfire with the wind whipping around. 

While I have one more night planned, tomorrow night is more of a crash then a full night camping at Asaph Run Campground in Wellsboro County after visiting the Elk in Benezette and the Hyer Run Vista. I should make Asaph Run by dusk, so to avoid driving in the dark but limit the trip home to like 4 hours so I should be home by midday before the rain turns to snow on Saturday. Plan to truck cap camp for the final night as I expect rain Saturday morning so I don’t want to deal with a wet tent. 

Tonight will have patchy fog after 2am. Otherwise, mostly clear, with a low of 37 degrees at 5am. Six degrees above normal. Light south wind. One year ago, partly cloudy with a low around 22. The record low of 10 occurred back in 1972.

Waning Gibbous Moon tonight with 73% illuminated. The Last Quarter Moon is on Sunday night with mostly cloudy expected. The Full “Cold” Moon is on Wednesday, December 14th.

Tomorrow will have areas of fog before 11am. Otherwise, sunny, with a high of 67 degrees at 3pm. 20 degrees above normal. South wind 3 to 8 mph. Last year, partly cloudy with a high around 55. The record high of 71 was set in 1928. There was 9 inches of snow back in 1980. The sun will rise at 7:09 am with the first light at 6:39 am, which is 1 minutes and 11 seconds later then yesterday.

Looking ahead, Thanksgiving is in 1 week.
