Good morning! Happy Save the Pine Bush Turns 42 🦋! 1978 is a long time ago, five years before I was born. Two weeks to 5:30 PM Sunset 🌆. Freezing rain and 29 degrees at the Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA. ☁ With the salt the main roads in the city are fine but the side roads are pretty dicy, I mean icy. 🎲 There is a east breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. There is a inch of snow and ice on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at around 11 am. 🌡️

I am not totally sure why I decided to take the express bus to work 🚍 because it was a pretty sloppy walk down there 🚶 but at least I gave the express driver something to do as I was the only passenger. She didn’t dilly dally around the station 🚉, she left right at 8:26. That said, the main roads are fine. I’m glad I didn’t have to crack the ice off my truck but I kind of wish I had flipped up the windshield wipers up so they wouldn’t freeze to the windshield for the weekend. Maybe when I get home.

Today will start out as rain or freezing rain, becoming all rain after 2pm. 🌧 High of 35 degrees at 2pm. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 15th. East wind 3 to 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Total daytime ice accumulation of less than a 0. 1 of an inch possible. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, which became light freezing rain by afternoon. The high last year was 37 degrees. The record high of 55 was set in 1991. 10.8 inches of snow fell back in 1978.❄

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:10 pm with sun having an altitude of 31.7° from the due south horizon (-39.2° vs. 6/21). The golden hour 🏅 starts at 4:34 pm with the sun in the west-southwest (242°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-southwest (249°) starting at 5:12 pm and lasts for 3 minutes and 7 seconds with dusk around 5:44 pm, which is one minute and 19 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At dusk you’ll see the Full 🌝 Moon in the east (88°) at an altitude of 34° from the horizon, 234,638 miles away. 🚀 The best time to look at the stars is after 6:18 pm. At sunset, look for rain 🌧 and temperatures around 35 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Today will have 10 hours and 10 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 29 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have a chance of drizzle or light rain before 8pm, then light rain with a chance of drizzle, mainly after 8pm. 🌧 Low of 34 degrees at 9pm. 17 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 3rd. North wind 3 to 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Maybe that will be a good opportunity to flip up the windshield wipers. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. In 2019, we had light rain in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 36 degrees. The record low of -18 occurred back in 1995.

Cool but sunny this weekend. 😎 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 29. West wind around 10 mph. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 32. Typical average high for the weekend is 33 degrees.

With the low temperatures expected Saturday night with the clear skies 🌃 I am probably not going camping as the night up north may be as cold as negative seven and they’re getting a lot of snow up north.

🌹🌻🌼Only 42 days remain until the first day of calendar spring!🌹🌻🌼

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until 5:30 PM Sunset 🌆 when the sun will be setting at 5:32 pm with dusk at 6:01 pm. On that day in 2019, we had cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 28 and 9 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 36 degrees. We hit a record high of 66 back in 1930.
