As they say, the week comes around again on the calender. For a winter’s weekend, it wasn’t too bad, although nothing like a good summer weekend getting out of town. Kind of a cold and bleak weekend for sure, although on Saturday I did out to the Albany Pine Bush for about an hour after doing some shopping for work clothes.

Today’s record high is 62 degrees in 2002 and the record low is -10. We were much closer to the record low, with temperatures dropping to about -2 last night. I think the peak temperature will be about 15 degrees, which is far below the 40 degrees we should be expecting for this time of year. I didn’t bother to wash my truck this week, as it’s going to be so cold that the salt being left on the truck for another week shouldn’t be a big deal — but I certainly will wash it next weekend after it warms up.

I have ordered but not received a scarf and a dressier hat to wear out at the bus stop. I have my blaze orange hat that I wear while hiking during hunting season, but previously I just wore my parka with a mis-matched hood until that broke.
