Winter Fades Away to Green.

|

This week is the first week of the year when most of the nights are above freezing. The average nightly low is 35 degrees at this point — and 37 by the end of the week, which isn’t warm, but without the frost most nights, it seems likely we will start to see some hints of spring popping out in the city.

It’s foolish to expect lots of green in April, unless it’s an exceptionally warm spring, which this one so far has not been.

Some Green

Step by step though, winter will fade away into a sea of green.

Still a lot of snow around on April 1st

As you can see, while the snow is gone from the Albany-area, and most of Albany County on this April Fools Day in 2019, there is still quite a bit of snow in most of the Adirondacks, and even Southern Madison County. Fortunately though, I wasn’t planning on doing any road trips for camping for at least a few more weeks.

March 20, 2019 – Next Sixteen Weeks

|

Today is the first day of spring. 🌷🌺🌻🌼That means longer days, warmer temperatures, and generally more enjoyable weather is just around the corner. In two weeks, the norm will be nights above freezing, and nearly 13 hours of daylight. There is much to look forward to this time of year.
