Good morning! Happy Average High is 60 🍂! Final day in West Virginia. Got a late start as it was cold ❄ and I misplaced my camera. Three weeks to Daylight Savings Time Ends 🛥️. Partly sunny and 37 degrees at the Monongahela National Forest. Calm wind.

I’m sad I’m leaving West Virginia 😭 but time marches on. It wouldn’t be an adventure if you did it every day. 🍁I gotta go home and make money. 💵 I’m sure I’ll camp ⛺ and hunt come November but much closer to home 🏡. Probably the Adirondacks.

Misplaced my camera on this morning, 📷 which delayed my departure a bit from camp. I found it, just got knocked off the shelf and tied up with the sleeping bags on my truck. Glad I didn’t lose my camera or all my good resolution pictures from the trip.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 61 degrees at 3pm. Typical for today. Maximum dew point of 46 at 4pm. Calm wind becoming southwest 5 to 9 mph in the morning. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 55 degrees. The record high of 81 was set in 1930. There was a dusting of snow in 1934.❄

Today it’s off to Cannan Wildlife Refuge 🐦 then a stop at Mount Storm Coal Plant and and then north to Keyser WV to get some supplies, Blue Knob State Park, Interstate 99 then a quick overnight at County Bridge Campground. Lots of driving 🚘 but a chance to see some nice country.

The sun will set at 6:42 pm with dusk around 7:09 pm, which is one minute and 29 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for mostly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 55 degrees. It’s coming fast, better get going. There will be a west-southwest breeze at 7 mph. Tomorrow will have 11 hours and 14 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 29 seconds over today.

Totally wearing my Molon Labe t-shirt 👕 today, the offensive second admendment shirt with two AR-15 on it that I probably can’t wear in Albany and certainly not anywhere near work. I probably fit in well in West Virginia though. 🔫 I sure love 😍 guns and burning things. So do most rednecks and country boys in Pennsylvania. 🐮

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 40 degrees at 6am. Typical for tonight. West wind 5 to 10 mph. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 40 degrees. The record low of 21 occurred back in 1958.

As previously noted, there are 3 weeks until Daylight Savings Time Ends 🛥️ when the sun will be setting at 5:15 pm with dusk at 5:43 pm (Standard Time) in West Virginia. Much earlier – half hour earlier in Albany. On that day in 2018, we had rain and temperatures between 57 and 41 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 53 degrees. We hit a record high of 75 back in 1990.
