Good morning! What day is it? The Hump in the Temperature After the Much Hyped Snow and Ice Storm, of course. Honestly I’m pretty amused about it all. Didn’t really impact me much but I live in the suburbs and landlord does the plowing and I don’t have to drive anywhere. I heard God will remove the snow from my truck later in the week. Four weeks to 7 PM Sunset 🌆. Spring is coming or so I tell myself. Clouds with the sun breaking through and 33 and 1/3rd degrees in Delmar. ☁ There is a southwest breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. There are 6 inches of icy snow on the ground. ☃ Things will start to thaw out at around 9 am. 🌡️

With the snow yesterday, a lot of people left work early. ❄ I didn’t because I didn’t want to get charged the time and I knew more likely than not with most state workers leaving early traffic would be very light at five, even if the roads were bad. It’s wasn’t a bad commute at all and the buses were on time and snow and sleet stopped for a bit while I caught the bus.🚃 I walked down to the express bus today, sidewalks weren’t too bad, although I found myself hurrying down to the bus as it was a bit more of a slog then normal and I didn’t quite get out of the door by 8:08 (BOB time, as I like to call it), which is when I should leave by.🏃

Last night, I got home and made a big pot of macaroni and cheese with lots of veggies and a small amount of mayonnaise and hot sauce. 🍲Cooked it up than worked on some GIS things for the blog and some blog posts. I also fixed some code for my LED driver including adding code to trigger the relay for the 120 volt lamp. I decided to skip my evening walk because there was a lot of snow outside, and it was sleeting for most of the night.🚶

Rode the exercise bike for about a half hour watching some YouTube videos I previously downloaded while listening through my Bluetooth headphones. 🚲 I like being able to watch movies without disturbing my neighbors. I know that most of the videos I like are off grid homesteaders and farmers, hunters and trappers so typically it’s not really loud but I like to make sure the noise isn’t too loud. 🎧I try not to ride the bike much past nine in case he can here that two, and I try to cuss less.

Took another sleeping pill last night and tried to get to bed relatively early although not as early as some nights. 🛌 But I still feel relatively well rested even if I did wake up for a while during the night. I am ready for winter to be over sooner then later.🌬 I’m ready to sleep with the windows open. 🌫️

We got quite a bit of snow in the evening but my apartment was warm as I left the heat turned up yesterday in case I lost power from the storm. ♨ Going to be above freezing today, so I turned it back down before work. Already it seems like the roads are snow free, we are above freezing, and I expect it to be remain fairly warm in my apartment today, even though the heat is turned down a bit.

Today will continue to be mostly cloudy ⛅, with a high of 42 degrees at 12pm. Eight degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 10th.

Chance of precipitation is 30%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. A year ago, we had cloudy in the morning, which became partly cloudy by afternoon.

The latest weekend weekend forecast looks nice. 😎 Saturday, partly sunny, with a high near 36. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 30. Typical average high for the weekend is 35 degrees. I keep hearing different forecasts for the weekend, but I will have to see how much snow there is and how cold and icy it will be before planning to head out of town or camp. 🏕 It is a three day weekend, but there is still so much snow up north. Rain on Thursday into Friday might melt away a lot of snow locally, but I doubt that much up north.🌧

In four weeks on March 13 the sun will be setting at 7:00 pm (Daylight Savings Time),🌄 which is one hour, 34 minutes and 39 seconds later then today. In 2018 on that day, we had snow and temperatures between 34 and 30 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 43 and 24 degrees. The record high of 70 degrees was set back in 2012.
