The temperature was almost 10°F warmer overnight than it was yesterday morning. There was a thin blanket of cirrus clouds over us which helped to hold in a little of the heat from yesterday. We still have not had any precipitation, and that makes March, so far, a very dry month. To date we have had less than 2 inches of precipitation.
With these warmer mornings, Bart is enjoying his early morning walks, and, to be perfectly honest, so am I. So far, I have not seen any black flies or mosquitoes, and that has made being outside quite pleasant. I have seen a few small spiders and some house/barn flies, but they do not bother like the black flies. The barn has warmed up, so it should be possible to get the number 3 stall cleaned out today. That will leave me with two stalls to finish. This is very early to have that job done.
The electronic weather instruments and the weather stick are promising fair weather again today. In fact, the weather stick is not just up a little bit, as it has been, but the overall angle is 90°. Not only that, but for the first time since I installed the weather station I have seen the icon for the synchronization connection with the WWVB atomic clock in Colorado. I am finally impressed with that.
