Gosh, it might be 43 degrees but with those 26 mile per hour winds, and gusts up to 36, it sure feels cold outside. The windchill is officially 33 degrees but I’ve been out in 33 degree weather and felt a heck of a lot warmer. I think it feels closer to 10 degrees then 30. Then again, I’ve gotten soft. I expect the wind to die down a bit as we work our ways through the last two hours before darkness overcomes the landscape. Sunset tonight is at 7:09 pm. As Wednesday is the Full Worm Moon, there should be plenty of moonlight on this mostly clear evening, with a seasonable low of 26 degrees expected by 7 AM. Tomorrow we are looking at mostly sunny skies in the morning with clouds prevailing come evening. Tuesday night look for rain showers.

It was a decent but pretty quiet day at work. I have a Young Democrats Meeting this evening at 7 pm. Hopefully the wind will die down a bit before then. I would like to go for my evening walk tonight, if it’s not too frigid. We shall see. That wind is so biting this evening.

For the tree lovers out there, today is International Forestry Day. In five weeks from today we have Arbor Day, another day for tree lovers. It’s Monday, April 25th. Look for a high of 63 degrees if we have typical weather. Sunset on Arbor Day is at 7:49 pm at least in the greater Albany area. I like trees, as they produce wood that is fun to burn and it keeps us warm.

Stay warm on this frigid evening. Maybe toss another log on the fire?
