April 6, 2016 Evening
42 degrees and mostly cloudy and cold with a bone chilling 15 degree wind blowing. Sunset at 7:28 pm with near constant temperatures tonight with a low around 38 degrees. Rain showers by morning.
I took off the last three days of April off from work. I will probably take a road trip to an undecided location. Hopefully it will be spring like by then and not pour all week. I don’t like taking time too far in advance but you have to sometimes take time off before the days are taken.
Tomorrow while rainy will be A lot warmer. I don’t think we are looking at a full day wash out but hopefully it will make the salt wash off the roads.
I’m tired…

April 6, 2016 Update
The skies are mostly cloudy and it was a fairly cold walk down to the Park and Ride, with temperatures around 24 degrees as they head up to today’s high of 43 degrees. That’s 11 degrees below the normal high of 54 for April 5th. A little sun peaking out from the clouds. The bus is just now departing the Park and Ride.
The cold isn’t as bad as the dry and cold is on my hands. Just walking down to the bus stop has left them kind of sore and cracked. Tomorrow will have a 90% chance of rain but will be fairly mild conditions with the mercury expected to reach 56. That will be the first warm day in a while but at least it will help melt the snow and keep the fire danger down.
Today in 1909, Robert Peary and Matthew Henson reach the North Pole. Happy Birthday to Merle Haggard who was born today in 1937. Especially if you’re proud to be an Okie from Muskogee.
