Good morning! Happy Earth Day 🌎! For all you coal rollers out there. Or those celebrating with a 4450 and chisel plow. Until you turn the dirt, I don’t think you can really understand the true meaning of Earth Day. 🚜 Five weeks to Memorial Day.  🇺🇸 That day is coming quickly for sure. That said, I rarely get excited about Memorial Day Weekend anymore as it’s often quite cold, wet and full of black flies. 🐜 Mostly cloudy and 52 degrees in Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA. ☁ There is a north-northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 50 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 8 am.

Last night was pretty good sleeping in the truck cap. 😴 Everything seems to work well, I’m ready for my weekend adventure once I get the days off and go grocery shopping and top off the tank. Should be a nice weekend.

Mom made me a nice breakfast 🍳 and I left pretty early taking the express bus 🚍 to work as there is things I need to do once I get into the office.

Today will have a slight chance of showers after 2pm. Partly sunny 🌦, with a high of 69 degrees at 3pm. Eight degrees above normal, which is similiar to a typical day around May 13th. Maximum dew point of 51 at 1pm. North wind 7 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. Fairly spring like today, I expect things to green up more. 🌼A year ago, we had sunny day. The high last year was 65 degrees. The record high of 86 was set in 1985. 1.0 inches of snow fell back in 1928.❄

While I guess it’s good people are thinking about Earth Day 🌎 so much of what people publicly profess to doing is really febel and meaningless. It’s not saying good things are being done but most of them don’t sell material things, get the politicians re-elected or sell advertising on the television. 📺 Personal choices feel good but they are pretty meaningless.

The sun will set at 7:45 pm with dusk around 8:15 pm, which is one minute and 9 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for rain showers 🌧 and temperatures around 65 degrees. The dew point will be 49 degrees. There will be a north breeze at 9 mph. Today will have 13 hours and 43 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 40 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have a slight chance of showers before 9pm. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 50 degrees at 5am. 10 degrees above normal, which is similiar to a typical night around May 24th. North wind 6 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2018, we had clear in the evening, which became mostly sunny by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 30 degrees. The record low of 26 occurred back in 1975.

Looking ahead, there are 5 weeks until Memorial Day 🇺🇸 when the sun will be setting at 8:22 pm with dusk at 8:56 pm. On that day in 2018, we had rain showers, partly sunny and temperatures between 68 and 54 degrees. It was pretty foggy 🌁 and wet when I was camping ⛺ in the Green Mountains on that day. Typically, the high temperature is 73 degrees. We hit a record high of 94 back in 1914.

Besides this weekend I do hope to get camping at least one more weekend before Memorial Day Weekend. ⛺ Most likely that trip will be in two weeks to Piseco-Powley Road. Nothing here is set in stone, but I’d like to check out Moss Island in the spring.
