Good morning! Happy Coldest Day Ever Recorded in Albany 💨 !

That would be January 12, 1968 when it was negative 26 degrees in Albany, coldest day ever recorded! Interestingly enough, the latest climate normals show the coldest week of the year has shifted a week later. And much warmer than that today. UPDATE – My friend Hugh says that actually January 18, 1971 was colder, 28 below zero.

Partly sunny and 17 degrees at the CDTA Bus Stop #10595. There is a south breeze at 14 mph. 🍃. The current wind chill is 3. There is a dusting of snow on the ground. ☃ Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 10 am. 🌡️

Today should make a run at the freezing mark, ☀ which will make the black ice fun for the evening walk 🚶. I did get out for my evening walk, though not until after slipping on the black ice running to the store to get milk 🥛. I hit my knee 😵and it hurt like a mother but I was fine by the time I went for my evening walk. The town side walks weren’t bad, it just was where I was walking in the parking lot. Didn’t rip my pants AFAIK.

My evening walk was pretty good, 🚶‍♀️ I am glad I got some steps in, although not the 10,000 steps I go for more nice nights. I probably should have walked on Monday, I was bad and didn’t do that.
