Don't expect to the see much sun time any time after today. But today should be quite nice.

Cruel and Unusual Punishment.

Cruel and Unusual Punishment. I think that’s the best way to describe today’s weather while it comes to going to work. Unfortunately, our Supreme Court has failed to recognize “cruel and unusual punishment” as being forced to work on nice days.

 Going to be in the mid-60s, and I opened up the windows. By the weekend it will be  in the 70s, and we might even see a little bit of greening up in the city.  Already a few hints of green around including minor budding on the trees, but it certainly is much later this year then previous years.

 Spring will come. I think at least in the lower elevations, spring will be starting to kick in by the very late Easter weekend next week. Hoping to get out camping next weekend. Not sure if I am going out all the way to the Finger Lakes, but I certainly will get up to the Adirondacks if not. Maybe if I get Good Friday off and I can take off Thursday, I will consider visiting the Finger

Cold Wet, Late March Morning

Good Morning! A very cold and wet Friday morning, last one in March.

Glad I am not in the woods. The good news is it’s not snow. Not for a lack of trying by the weather gods, but because there simply is not enough cold left in the system to continue snowing. That said, I think they got snow in the mountains, and they might get some more this weekend.

It looks like I will end up working at least part of the weekend, but I don’t care that much as it’s going to be rainy. I kind of like working on weekends, because there is no traffic downtown, and things tend to be a lot quieter and generally nice on weekends. I am hoping the rainy weather will lead to improved conditions come later in April when I hope to be traveling and out  camping.

March showers… bring April mud and no burn bans!
