I wish I was heading up to the Adirondacks tonight but alas I have the Save the Pine Bush 40 Karner clean-up tomorrow. Going to be a nice weekend for sure. Today we got up to 65 degrees in Albany, although a cool night is expected with a low around 35. 55 degrees and clear at 7:38 pm for sunset.

One of the trees in front of the Capitol is now in full bloom and is putting out green shoots but the cold nights below freezing have retarded greening up. Lots of buds around but almost no trees have green shoots despite the relatively mild weather. That said, going forward I don’t see a single night below freezing nor many nights even close to it. At least in the city, winter is rapidly fading and it’s only a matter of time before trees are in bloom.

Not sure if it’s going to be warm to sit out and back and drink, although if I do, I will need to get some beer. It depends if my neighbors have a fire too. I’m kind of tired plus I need to get a fairly early start tomorrow to be at the Albany Pine Bush Discovery Center before 9 AM.

Traffic was modestly light on the 787, and with Flying Francis driving the bus, we are making good time. I expect to be home in five minutes, after which I will have a quick dinner and head down to the park.
