    I’m finally free from voluntary quarantine and my infant grandson had to get tested yesterday, thankfully his fever broke last night though...not a fan of the new normal but at least the yard is all cleaned up and ready for spring and summer! Hope you all are well during these crazy times, especially our first responders.

    A beautiful snow and sleet covered landscape this morning.

    Flipped back to moderate snow here now which is accumulating again on all surfaces

    .5” as of 8am here near Campbell Hall, light snow continues.

    Yea, there are no food shortages but at least in the OC the trucks are about 36 hours behind. If people just calmed the hell down and stopped hoarding there would be zero issues with the shelves being empty. Hoping for a picturesque snowfall tomorrow morning, we shall see.

    Now that I raked half the yard I’m sure I’ll get enough snow on the trees to bring down plenty of twigs.

    I’d be shocked if there was leaf out along 17 even with the mild weather but it’s coming. There are buds around here and some bushes have some small leaves starting to emerge. I did have crocus bloom this week.

    We should still approach the afternoon with an abundance of caution...

    Work is nuts with COVID-19 preparations but I digress, woke up before dawn to .1" so I'm on the board for March! Winning...

    Well its much better now than back in the days of steam locomotives and journal bearing trucks which is where the old "hot box" term comes from but diesels and roller bearings can still cause problems when they malfunction and/or break. I know that when the rail grinder train comes through it has a water tank car with it and they spray water down as it passes to prevent brush fires. That said, I have no idea what work train was operating there on Monday, not that it matters at this point sadly.

    Looks like the MTA now admits that a work train locomotive was indeed the culprit, reminds me of 5 years ago already: https://www.recordonline.com/article/20150427/NEWS/150429413

    I wondered that too but also read a social media post that it started with a downed power line but my first thought was also a railroad issue as a downed power line doesn't jive with all of those individual areas of smoke .

    One of the many shots from the Town of Fishkill PD Facebook page.

    Brush fire season is certainly here now, multiple fires yesterday and again today, looks like a big one along the Hudson Line south of Beacon currently.

    I had a few sleet showers a couple of hours ago

    No doubt about it.
