Good evening! Currently 27 degrees and a few clouds and breezy with a 21 mph west-northwest wind, with gusts up to 39 mph. The wind chill value is currently 13. That wind sure is biting this evening, especially downtown.

Tonight will be mostly clear, with a low around 15. Northwest wind 11 to 16 mph decreasing to 5 to 10 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 29 mph. Below zero windchills on tap, but they won’t last.

Tonight will have 12 hours and 52 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 50 seconds over last night. Still a reasonable amount of daylight as I write this post. I can’t wait until we have more daylight than darkness and the cold isn’t so biting.

Tonight we will have a Waining Gibbous Moon with 73% illuminated. It will rise at 9:08 pm. If you don’t mind the cold and plan to stay up, a good night for viewing the moon. The Last Quarter Moon is on Tuesday and the New Moon is on March 9th.

Going to be a very nice weekend….

Saturday will be sunny but increasing clouds, with a high near 39. Light south wind becoming southwest 5 to 10 mph in the morning. It should be a pretty nice one for late February.

Saturday Night will be mostly cloudy, with a low around 32. Southwest wind 6 to 8 mph. Sunday will be mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny, with a high near 50. South wind 5 to 9 mph.

Tonight I will pack for the Adirondacks. It only one night, so not a lot of gear, although it needs to be well organized, as I’ll be towing it back to camp on a sled. Going to be a great weekend weather wise.

Thank God for letting you make it to the weekend. If you choose to drink, don’t drive. Have a great evening!
