Non Winter Weather 2015 - Hail and Farewel!!

Re: Non Winter Weather 2015 - Hail and Farewel!!

Now that the temps in West Michigan are back in the high 50s and sunny, it made my outdoor job tolerable yesterday.

Monday morning, I was scraping ice off the car window at 5:30; by late afternoon it was 65[SUP]o[/SUP] F.

One thing that is really interesting (to me, anyway) is watching the progression of sunrise. Several weeks ago, right after the time change, the sun was rising just as the train crossed the East River, every day since, it rises a bit earlier. It is actually starting to get light out now by the time I board my connecting train, and that is just in the past week or so.

How long is your commute? In the late 70's when I worked @ 420 Lex, it took 90 minutes to get in from Northern NJ via NJ Transit and PATH.

Door-to-door, a little over 2-1/2 hours, though part of that time includes either working on the train, or sleeping, so that it is "dual purpose" time so to speak.
3 minutes to local train station
15 minute ride to connecting station for main line
10 minute wait between connection arrival and main line departure
1 hr 50 minute ride to GCT

I work remotely on Fridays.
15 minute walk to office

Ugh. I'll be nicer to you in future. My wife used to have a commute like that. The only positive is you can sleep, whilst a driver can't. Or anyway, not for long.

Do they have silent cars on (what, the LIRR? Whatever the CT rail system is?)? I hope so. The nice Ivy League bureaucrats on my wife's train will cut you if you violate their Carmelite silence rules.

Daffodils starting to open, nascent flowers starting to bud on forsythia. Spring is starting to poke its nose above ground, finally. :)



Memo to Bob Gray, please don't start complaining about the 90[SUP]o[/SUP] weather.... ;) or at least, not yet.


When we lived in Wyoming, our joke was, "we have four seasons, just like everyone else, it's just that we have different names for them here: Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and the 4[SUP]th[/SUP] of July."

That's the MN seasons too. A variant is Almost Winter, Winter, Still Winter, and Construction Season.

Beautiful day and perfect evening here right now.
