It was a Monday. 🏢 Not a bad one, I was home by around 6:20 zapped some food 🍲 I had previously froze and had dinner. Out for the evening walk 🚶 and then it’s off to bed 🛏 for the night. Another mild night though cooler weather than recent.

Tonight will rain and snow likely before 1am, then a slight chance of snow between 1am and 3am. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 26 degrees at 5am. 11 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 15th. Northwest wind 6 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

It’s a nice night 🌃 for the evening walk 🚶 with some snow 🌨 coming down but not really sticking to the pavement. Salters are out so it wouldn’t be a good night to wash my truck plus I’m tired. I’m thinking Thursday will be mild but will things be really salty come the cold blast?

Tonight will have a Waxing Gibbous 🌔 Moon with 72% illuminated. At 7 PM, the moon was in the south-southeast (154°) at an altitude of 69° from the horizon, some 245,655 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by August 5^th.

My phone is still dropping out 📶 a lot at home 🏡 but not other places. Seems like it’s happening less frequently now and it’s not that I’m getting throttled because when I’m connected to other towers I’m fine, locally it just keeps breaking up in the general area around home. First time this has been an issue since the start of the pandemic.

Tomorrow will be partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 29 degrees at 11am. Four degrees below normal. Northwest wind 9 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with sunny skies in the afternoon. The high last year was 17 degrees. The record high of 58 was set in 1913. 6.9 inches of snow fell back in 2000.

I was noting it is only three weeks until President’s Day Weekend. 👴🏻 I’m thinking that would be a good weekend to get away – and maybe tack on a extra day if the weather allows. Snow makes it hard to get away to a lot of places in the back country but I have options. There is always Rennselearville but I’m a bit tired 😴 of that.

In four weeks on February 27 the sun will be setting in the west (260°) at 5:43 pm,🌄 which is 36 minutes and 9 seconds later then tonight.
