November 6, 2015 morning

All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray. Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration with temperatures pushing 64 degrees and expected to reach 71 by afternoon. Rain showers for the evening commute, so take it easy on the way home. The weekend won’t arrive for you if you don’t make it home alive.

Tonight’s sunset is at 4:42 PM for a total of 10 hours and six minutes of daylight. That means 13 hours and 53 minutes of darkness. Seasonable weather for the weekend with a high around 53 and cloudy on Saturday and 50 degrees and sunny on Sunday. It’s called November. At least at this point we are snow free everywhere.

Tomorrow it’s off to White Rocks in the Green Mountain National Forest. I drove to through this area, just north of Manchester VT two years ago but never overnighted there. I also spent little time hiking there as it was pouring rain that morning. But a lot of nice little campsites and very scenic area.

God only knows about the weather for next week and heading up to the North Country. Right now it looks too wet to be worthwhile to take the trip but forecasts change. I’m not going to request the time off until I have more certainty on the weather.
