Downtown Albany is the Central Business District in the City of Albany. Or as the Downtown Albany Bid describes it …
“Exciting Entertainment. World-Class Dining. Exquisite Art and Culture. Urban Residential. Whether you work or live in New York’s Capital District or are lucky enough to make a visit, downtown Albany offers the unique opportunity to explore a city rich in history, framed by nearby mountains and over 400 years in architecture.”
There are a lot of jobs downtown, and decent public transit. You have to go there on the weekdays to make a buck or two.

I’m pretty tired this evening. Still recovering from the cold I’ve had but it’s hardly been a severe cold. I will rest up tonight.
Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Light snow is coming down and it’s 25 degrees in Albany. Today will be cloudy, with a high near 33. Southeast wind 3 to 5 mph. Kind of a sloppy morning with the inch of wet snow around from last night’s snow squalls. Treated surfaces are just wet and the sidewalks are plowed but some places like my driveway aren’t real clear. I wore my hunting boots to work. I’m hopeful the warm temperatures will melt the snow, so I won’t have to clean off my car for the weekend.

There are 20 days until Leap Day. They extend Presidential Election years just to make our lives more miserable. They should move leap day to more pleasant month of the year.
Today in 1950, Senator Joseph McCarthy announced that the United States Department of State was full of communists. Despite what contemporary Republicans are claiming, Mr. McCarthy was not referring to Hillary Clinton. It is certainly interesting on how history has turned on Joe McCarthy.

Tonight more snow is likely, mainly before 2am. Cloudy, with a low around 22. Northeast wind 5 to 7 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

In four weeks on March 7 the sun will be setting at 5:53 pm, which is 35 minutes later then tonight. There are 1 month, 19 days until Easter. when the sun will be setting at 7:16 pm. I can’t wait. Easter will be early this year due to when the moon falls but the longer days are sorely wanted, at least by myself.
I activated a new monthly bus pass today through March 8, so I know by the time it expires it will almost be the end of standard time. I don’t like getting up earlier but having sun in the evening will be so nice.
Next weekend for President’s Day Weekend is expected to be truly frigid. Kind of like normal winter when El Nino and the Pacific North Atlantic telecommunication isn’t stuck in the negative phase. Kind of sucks as I was hoping to take off for a long weekend to the Adirondacks or maybe Chenango County. So be it. Endless summer can’t be that far away.

Northwest wind 8 to 13 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. Late tonight we will have a Waining Crescent Moon with 15% illuminated. It will rise at 4:55 am.
A pretty nice sunset for sure tonight. The bus driver is really flying tonight, weaving in and out of traffic, so hopefully I’ll be home sooner than later. I’m tired, it’s been a long week. I’m glad the weekend is here and it’s going to be a nice one.
Saturday will be partly sunny, with a high near 41. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 9 mph in the morning. For Sunday look for mostly sunny, with a high near 42. Southwest wind 6 to 8 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon. Should be a nice weekend for the first weekend of February.
Going to do an oil change tomorrow morning and then may go to Schodack Island State Park and do some hiking into the afternoon. Do it first thing then I won’t forget about it and will mean I have fresh oil in the engine. Probably need to do some grocery shopping but other than that I don’t have any big plans for the weekend. It’s winter I concede.
I thought a bit about heading up to the Adirondacks but money is kind of tight and the skies are expected to be pretty gray up north. Pay day is Tuesday evening but I have to pay my credit card tonight. Big bill this month unfortunately. I should add doing my taxes to the list.

Friday will gradually become sunny, with a high near 37. Northwest wind 8 to 13 mph. Not a terrible day for Upstate NY in early February.
The sunset is remarkably beautiful tonight. A pretty good ending to a good day at work. The amazing sunset reminds me a lot of some of the sunsets that are common in November, especially in the North Country. The longer days are a clear reminder that summer must be coming.
