It’s a nice night for the evening walk with some snow coming down but not really sticking to the pavement. Salters are out so it wouldn’t be a good night to wash my truck plus I’m tired. I’m thinking Thursday will be mild but will things be really salty come the cold blast?

My phone is still dropping out a lot at home but not other places.

First time this has been an issue since the start of the pandemic.

I was noting it is only three weeks until President’s Day Weekend. I’m thinking that would be a good weekend to get away – and maybe tack on a extra day if the weather allows. Snow makes it hard to get away to a lot of places in the back country but I have options. There is always Rennselearville but I’m a bit tired of that.
