Good evening. Currently light snow is coming down and 27 degrees in Delmar. Heavier band of snow is coming, roads could be slick around 11 pm.

Tonight will be snow showers before 10pm, then snow likely, mainly between 10pm and 1am. A heavy band of snow is in the Heldebergs right now. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 21. Breezy, with a west wind 6 to 11 mph increasing to 15 to 20 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of around an inch possible.

Waxing crescent moon has already set but it was pretty earlier. Stars are mostly blocked by clouds and snow showers. Another dark morning on tap tomorrow. Tomorrow’s sunrise will be at 7:23 am with first light at 6:52 am, which is one minute and 24 seconds earlier then today.

Continuing to work on fire tower maps. I have several done and will be posted later in the week. They aren’t perfect but they do give a lot of insight on what you are looking at from the summit of mountains.

Didn’t go to the library but I went for my evening walk. Seemed like a lot of police activity going on around the school. Not sure what was happening, maybe a security alarm went off. They’re so paranoid about security at schools these days.

Listening to President Obama’s last state of the union. While I haven’t agreed with all his policy proposals, especially those urban, socially liberal policies, he’s done a lot of good. Being the first African American president, he has broke down many barriers. We might next see the first woman president. I voted for Obama twice. He didn’t get a big energy and environment bill passed like Bush, but Obamacare helped ensure a lot more Americans had access to health care. It doesn’t seem important until your sprain your ankle. He does make a good point about how divided our country has become.

I hope you had a good day. Sleep well!
