Good evening. Currently we have light snow coming down and 25 degrees in Albany. The snow is mostly making the city streets and sidewalks slick. The suburban state roads have been pre-treated. Tonight more snow is likely, mainly before 2am. Cloudy, with a low around 22. Northeast wind 5 to 7 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible. Enough to make driving hazardous, especially on untreated surfaces.

Tonight is the New Moon. The First Quarter Moon is on next Monday. Tuesday will be a chance of snow showers, mainly after 4pm. Cloudy, with a high near 32. East wind 3 to 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.

In four weeks on March 7 the sun will be setting at 5:53 pm, which is 35 minutes later then tonight. There are 1 month, 19 days until Easter. when the sun will be setting at 7:16 pm. I can’t wait. Easter will be early this year due to when the moon falls but the longer days are sorely wanted, at least by myself.

I activated a new monthly bus pass today through March 8, so I know by the time it expires it will almost be the end of standard time. I don’t like getting up earlier but having sun in the evening will be so nice.

Next weekend for President’s Day Weekend is expected to be truly frigid. Kind of like normal winter when El Nino and the Pacific North Atlantic telecommunication isn’t stuck in the negative phase. Kind of sucks as I was hoping to take off for a long weekend to the Adirondacks or maybe Chenango County. So be it. Endless summer can’t be that far away.
