Presidents Day 2016 Night
Good evening. Currently light icy snow and 20 degrees in Delmar. The plows are out now, but I can tell you from walking home from the library, the roads are slick and cars are skidding all over the road. The sidewalks aren’t terrible but the road surface even on one’s feet are slick due to the action of the cold icy snow being ground down to ice by passing motorists.
As the evening progresses into night the roads are only expected to get slicker. Tonight will have snow and sleet before 3am, then freezing rain and sleet between 3am and 4am, then freezing rain after 4am. Temperature rising to around 33 by 5am. Southeast wind 5 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime ice accumulation of less than a 0.1 of an inch possible. Total nighttime snow and sleet accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
If you could see the moon through the clouds, we would have a first quarter moon, setting at 12:27 am. Tomorrow’s sunrise will be at 6:50 am with first light at 6:21 am, which is 1 minute and 25 seconds earlier then today.
By morning we will for the most part have rain. Warm day ahead after the frigid weekend with highs expected near 53. South wind 8 to 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible. Wet but not a real soaker for sure. Cooler but clearer weather for the second half of the week and a wet and warm weekend on tap, a bit more like Coors Light then a good beer of a weekend.
Spent a lot of time cleaning and picking things up this morning around the apartment. Cleaned up the closet, washed the bathroom floor, vacuumed, cleaned and oiled guns, caught up on dishes. Went to the library, researched Digital TV tuners some more. Went grocery shopping, put a trash bag in my truck full of ripped clothing and paper to take to the recycling center. Things are a lot cleaner and neater.
Got my clothes out for tomorrow, made lunch, and got the coffee pot ready for tomorrow. I’m tired but ready for the work week.
I hope you had a good Presidents Day. Sleep well!
