February 15, 2017 – Next Sixteen Weeks
Sixteen weeks from now will be June. There is hope for warmer weather and it’s in a foreseeable future. Already the sunsets have gotten much longer, and starting next week, we will be seeing sizable increases in the average high every week. Five weeks to calendar spring, in which the average high is 47 degrees in Albany.
In as few as four weeks, the weather might be nice enough to go to the park in the evening, and heck I’ve been truck camping in early March, although that’s usually something reserved for the warmest winters, not necessarily this winter.
