Finally Starting to Warm Up This Thursday. This morning was about 14 degrees, which is much warmer then below zero, and there was no wind. A few snow flurries and a bright sun to make it feel warmer then it might really be. With a coat, doing work outdoors, it doesn’t feel particularly cold one way or another. Finally, gave the heat a break, dropping it down to 50 degrees before work – it’s warm enough that it will heat up quickly as needed.

Got to Go On My Evening Walk. It finally warmed up enough for the evening walk. It was a bit cool out during the walk, but that was my fault by not wearing gloves and just wearing a baseball hat. But once you got moving, the cold didn’t seem that bad compared to what’s been lately.

Still the Coldest Time of the Year. That is weather-wise, based on the historical averages. I don’t buy the claims that it’s global warming or any other special phenomenon besides just winter. Winters may not be as cold and snowy as other parts of the country, but they still are pretty harsh, here in Albany.

Yesterday was Crazy at Work. I guess that was predictable, but it just seemed like there was so many things going on yesterday. In the end, everything worked out, but it was still pretty insane with the billion different things going on. Entering the busier time in the work, although at least I now have a better idea of what the schedule will be next year.

Three Months Will Be April 9th. Chances are that by that point, in many places we will be pretty much done with the snow. It might be dry and there might be burn bans, or maybe not. 83 days until April 1st too. Winter needs to run it’s course, but before you will know it, the cold of the season will be giving up, and warmer and nicer days will be well on their way.
