January 4, 2017 Evening

The evening grind is back on this evening. Traffic is grinding along and light snow is falling. My gawd have potholes gotten bad lately everywhere. I don’t know how people people with those low profile tires still have wheels something reassembling round. Light snow and 36 degrees in the City of Albany. Breezy, 18 mph breeze from the west with gusts up to 28 mph. 

Hungry because I forgot my lunch at home this morning. I’m fine though, a bit somewhat grumpy because I had a decent breakfast. So be it. Almost home and then I can have dinner soon. Plus then I will have lunch for tomorrow. 

Tonight will have a chance of snow showers, mainly before 9pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low of 20 degrees at 6am. Five degrees above normal. Breezy, with a west wind 18 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Little or no snow accumulation expected. In 2016, it got down to 2 degrees under mostly clear skies. The record low of -24 occurred back in 1904.

First Quarter Moon tonight with 46% illuminated. The moon will set around 1:08 am. It’s right overhead and quite pretty as snow falls down on the land. 

In four weeks on February 1 the sun will be setting at 5:09 pm, which is 33 minutes later then tonight. In 2016 on that day, we had rain and temperatures between 54 and 35 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 32 and 15 degrees. The record high of 65 degrees was set back in 1989.
