Good evening as we work our way through the final hour of light on the Tuesday. Sunset 7:27 pm with darkness at 7:55 pm. 35 degrees, clear, and cold. As expected, some of the snow melted away but not much of it. Thursday with rain and temperatures around 56 expected, a lot of the slop, ice and salt is expected to gone away.

Twenty degrees for the low tonight with a declining breeze. A nice evening for January but it gets tiresome for April. I know we are still in the first half of the month but I’m a real sick of winter. I keep telling myself this will be the last frigid winter up north. Albany winters are just miserable, even when they are as mild as they’ve been lately. Spring will be nice.

Happy Birthday to Troy Gentry of Montgomery Gentry. You do your thing, I’ll do mine. Put me on mountain, way back in the back woods. Because life runs on beer and gasoline. I think I’m mixing up songs but Montgomery Gentry has some good songs for sure.
