December 15, 2015 night

Good evening. Currently 43 degrees and clearing. Some clouds still block out the stars in parts. Later mostly cloudy, with a low around 36. Northwest wind 6 to 16 mph.

Made a bunch of new maps this evening, including one of the election results for the Town of Westerlo Supervisor race. Lots of hiking and state land maps, including some local preserves that have recently been added to Open Street Maps.

Did my evening walk. Not too cold and the stars were starting to come out. It’s a pretty nice evening. I didn’t go down to the library tonight though.

Have a great night. Sleep well. Sunrise at 7:23 AM tomorrow.

December 15, 2015 evening

Good evening. Currently 46 degrees and overcast this evening. Isolated showers before 8pm. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 36. Breezy, with a northwest wind 19 to 24 mph decreasing to 5 to 10 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 37 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

It was cloudy this evening but had the clouds broke it would have shown an earlier sunset. Tomorrow will be sunnier with a high around 46. Certainly cooler than today, but still warmer than normal.

Tomorrow is the Save the Pine Bush Dinner at 6 PM at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Downtown Albany. Ward Stone will be the guest speaker. He is always a good speaker.

Tomorrow dad is going to pick up the battery from my truck. The shop said it just needed to be charged. We will see I guess. Hopefully I won’t be stuck in town this weekend. Otherwise I’m either going to have to get the truck towed somewhere or otherwise fixed. Gosh, I don’t know but it’s a bit frustrating.

December 15, 2015 morning

Good morning!Β 52 degrees and cloudy on this Tuesday. Last night was a remarkable 62 degrees after the rain before the cold front pushed through. Did I mention today is December 15th? Pretty outrageous weather. Going to be a windy day and with the sun expected later, the heavy rain from last night should be rapidly dried up from the pavement.

For a while last night I had no data service on my phone. I don’t know what the issue was but I sure missed having real time bus info on my phone after I stopped at the bus stop.

It poured on the way down to the library but I was able to catch a bus down there. The stop at the library is really nice. Later in the evening the rain stopped but it was wet and I was tired so I skipped my evening walk. So be it.

Continuing to work on tweaking maps and designing some new content for the blog. Also did some more cleaning last night.
