Good morning, again! I hope your commute is going well. At this point we are at 28 degrees with light freezing drizzle. We had a pause I’m the rain but now it’s picking up again. NOAA’s latest models show a slightly lower high this afternoon, they’re now saying look for around 50. Breezy, with a southeast wind 8 to 13 mph becoming south 16 to 21 mph in the afternoon. Heavier rain in the afternoon and warmer temperatures is expected to melt away most of the snow. It could cause localized flooding with the frozen ground.

Sunset will be at 5:28 pm with twilight at 5:57 pm which is one minute and 17 seconds later then yesterday. Tonight will be rain showers likely, possibly mixing with snow after 10pm, then gradually ending. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 26. Northwest wind 7 to 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Little or no snow accumulation expected.

There are 3 months, 25 days until Flag Day. Always nice to enjoy those summer days in June.

Happy Birthday to the late Kim Jong-il, leader of the axis of evil, North Korea. Talk about a strange authoritarian society. I know I often are fascinated by seeing pictures of North Korea which is so different from the rest of the world.

Looking in the history books we can find out about other despots like Fidel Castro who became Premier of Cuba on this day in 1959, after dictator Fulgencio Batista was overthrown on January 1 of that year. They keep those old yank tanks running in Cuba to this day, although finally the embargo is slowly but surely coming to an end.

My sinuses are pretty plugged today. I took some cold medicine, which is helping a bit on this cold and snowy day. At least it will warm up later.
