March 20, 2019 – Next Sixteen Weeks

Today is the first day of spring. ๐ŸŒท๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒป๐ŸŒผThat means longer days, warmer temperatures, and generally more enjoyable weather is just around the corner. In two weeks, the norm will be nights above freezing, and nearly 13 hours of daylight. There is much to look forward to this time of year.

July 14, 2017 – Next Sixteen Weeks

As they say, it’s all down hill from here.ย The mercury is expected to start decliningย in about two weeks and the days are already getting shorter. But don’t fret. We’ve only lost a few minutes of daylight so far and at first the temperature declines are only slight. And we have gotten 100 degree weather in Albany through the first week of September.

Water wasn't all that cold

December 23, 2022 Evening

Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 20 degrees in Delmar. โ˜ There is a west-southwest breeze at 15 mph. ๐Ÿƒ with gusts up to 37 mph ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ’จ. The current wind chill is 6. There are 3 inches of snow on the ground — the rain didn’t kill that off. โ˜ƒ ๏ธThings will start to thaw out at Wednesday around noontime. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ The warmer weather and rain heading into New Years Eve might kill it off though. Plus a fresh coating of black ice and slipperiness outside this evening, though I stayed home today so I don’t really know. Turned up the heat a bit tonight, maybe too much with the cold, but maybe I’ll put it back down before bed. Doesn’t need to be set at 55 degrees, I can do 50 and lower heating bills. I’ll leave the cabinets open before bed. It’s not like sub-zero weather tonight. Wind has died down a lot.

Yesterday I got home fairly early, ๐Ÿ˜ and got unpacked from camping. I wanted nothing to do with driving home in the rain and snow that was predicted, especially as the day predicted. Plus my ski boots were frozen hard from the cold so I couldn’t get them on my feet โ›ท and the surface voltage on my starting battery ๐Ÿ”‹ was starting to make me a bit nervous on my truck, so as soon as I packed up I headed home. I thought about, and probably should have used my hunting boots and hiked up to see the Rensselaerville Falls but parking was limited in the hamlet due to the snow banks, and I simply was in the mood to get home, get unpacked before the heavy driving rain came in. It came but was later then I thought at first.

Wednesday was absolutely a perfect day for winter camping, โ„๏ธ lots of sun, a reasonable amount of snow, and no wind. It was cold enough, but not too cold that the snow wasn’t melting. โ›ท Places though where a trail wasn’t well packed down from snowmobiles, like the parameter trail at Rennselaerville State Forest proved to be a lot more difficult skiing then I had hoped. But for winter camping, the weather was awesome. Wednesday night was mild, a nice night by the campfire, but it did get dark early.

Thursday was dreary, much like today ๐ŸŒง and I spent the final two days of my vacation at home. I wanted to get to the library ๐Ÿ“š this evening but they closed early due to the icing of the roads. ๐ŸŒจ I am sure the librarians appreciated being able to head home early into the holiday weekend. They are also closed on Monday after Christmas. It’s fine, I have the hotspot I can use at home. ๐Ÿคณ Going to be cold but I will try to bundle up and get some steps in over the holiday weekend. ๐Ÿ‘ฃ Probably could go to Five Rivers with just the microspikes this weekend, which means I wouldn’t have to drive or take the skis there. I probably should have been more active the past two days, but while camping, it was a ton of work, especially shoveling that heavy, deep wet snow to park my truck and clear out camp, then trudging the skis through the deep snow.

Today was quiet, ๐Ÿ“— some reading and FreeCodeCamp and too much time probably wasted on Youtube and working on various R graphs and charts. I finished up the Web Libraries class, though I still have to do the projects. ๐Ÿค– I really don’t enjoy this unit, and while I started a bit on the web visualization class — which I think may be more interesting, I shouldn’t get too far ahead of myself. Reading another book about probability and how people always get large numbers wrong.

Had a surprise expense on my credit card ๐Ÿ˜ฑ which had me worried for $21 dollars. I had forgotten I got my truck inspected last week. ๐Ÿ” Truck passed inspection, despite the trailer hitch among other things beings a rusty mess under the frame. I do need to wash the truck again. It’s getting old, but with the passed inspection, I’m hopeful to get it through one more year. I am going to cut back on driving and trips next summer again, because of my truck getting older, high gas prices, and because I want to keep my focus on growing my investments and retirement. I had a good year this year, and I know if I keep my eyes on the prize ๐Ÿšœ I can get to a better tomorrow.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒฅ, with a low of 8 degrees at 2am. 13 degrees below normal. Maximum wind chill around -6 at 1am; Southwest wind 13 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 37 mph. In 2021, we had cloudy skies. It got down to 22 degrees. The record low of -15 occurred back in 1989. Cold night ahead. Maybe this the cold moon, with none in sight.

Tonight will have a New ๐ŸŒš Moon with 0% illuminated. Not going to see the stars either — with those clouds.The Wolf ๐Ÿบ Moon is on Friday, January 6. The darkest hour is at 11:55 pm, followed by dawn at 6:52 am, and sun starting to rise at 7:24 am in the east-southeast (122ยฐ) and last for 3 minutes and 25 seconds. Sunrise is 27 seconds later than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ„ The golden hour ends at 8:10 am with sun in the southeast (130ยฐ). Tonight will have 14 hours and 54 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 8 seconds over last night.

Made my final investment and retirement account payment for the year today. ๐Ÿ’ธ I think I ended up investing $52,000 for the year, maxing out my Roth IRA, 457B retirement accounts and increasing my stock and bond portfolio quite a bit, skipping savings, due to the low interest rates and inflation. Still, my next worth ended up farther in the red this year then I would have liked due to the heavy hit on both the stock and bond markets from the rising fed rates. ๐Ÿ“‰ Killing inflation, before it gets out of hand has to be priority, and the way I look at it, I probably got good deals this year. But who knows, we might have a recession next year, and things decline further. But I think I did good, even if it was kind of a tough year with inflation, high gas prices, and finding myself sticking closer to home then I would have hoped for much of the year.

People say that I should spend more money ๐Ÿ’ต and buy more garbage but I am concerned that I’m falling farther and farther behind in life and that I’m not going to have a secure ๐Ÿ” future. So much of the things I own are worn out and taped together, despite my good paying job. My apartment is such a dump. But I hear about so many seniors ๐Ÿง“ living in poverty and not being able to afford to retire and that is not the life I want to live. Plus all my friends and colleagues are buying houses and homesteads and I don’t have that kind of money yet saved up, at least not in cash and I don’t borrow. I just hate throwing away money and my future ๐Ÿ”ฎ like so many do these days. I really do want to own my own land ๐Ÿšœ.

Christmas Eve will be mostly sunny ๐ŸŒž, with a high of 17 degrees at 2pm. 19 degrees below normal. Maximum wind chill around -5 at 6am; Southwest wind 9 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 29 degrees. The record high of 72 was set in 2015. 13.0 inches of snow fell back in 1966.โ„

Heading out to the folks house ๐Ÿคถ for a Christmas Eve lunch with my niece and parents, and then who knows what I will do later, probably just head home because it’s cold out. But I do need to get back out and start doing my steps again. I’ve done so bad this week, with the rain and cold. To be fair, several of those days though I was out camping. And I did spend a lot of time updating and working on my blog.

No jury duty next week, ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš–๏ธ and only one final week of the federal jury term remaining after New Years Eve. Maybe I’ll never get called in. At least I will be able to be in the office next week, when I’m the only supervisor that will be in my unit. I enjoyed my week off — well the best based on the weather — and now the other director is off next week. Will be a busy week for me, despite only being a four-day week. Who knows on jury duty โš– though – I think the federal term will get me off from the state, but I also know I have state deferral that they might try to get me for if I don’t serve. I almost wish I would get called in for a day to be certain.

In four weeks on January 20 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (243ยฐ) at 4:54 pm,๐ŸŒ„ which is 26 minutes and 54 seconds later then tonight. In 2021 on that day, we had partly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 30 and 14 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 32 and 15 degrees. The record high of 53 degrees was set back in 2006.

I do want to get out camping again ๐Ÿ• maybe for New Years Eve, or Martin Luther King Day Weekend which is now three weeks off. Maybe take off the Friday before the holiday weekend to get in three nights of camping. For NYE, if there isn’t too much snow, I would like to go out to Brookfield Horse Camp, ๐Ÿด otherwise I might do Cole Hill or another state forest. Maybe for MLK weekend, I would do Renselaerville State Forest again and ski there again. โ›ท

Looking ahead, tomorrow is Christmas Eve ๐ŸŽ…, Bacon Day ๐Ÿฅ“ is Next Friday and Bacon Day ๐Ÿฅ“ is Next Friday.

October 20, 2019 Night

Good evening! Partly cloudy with some fog ๐ŸŒ around but you can partially see the stars and 44 degrees in Dormansville, NY. โ›… Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 4 am. โ˜ƒ๏ธ

Today was a pretty quiet day at my parents house. ๐Ÿ“– I stayed there with the dog ๐Ÿถ taking him out for a walk that totalled 1 1/2 miles. I didn’t mind the walk but he’s gotten very elderly and he was out back most of the day, sitting back next to the heater. He got a little too close to the heater and I started to smell dog hair burning but besides a little patch of sinenged hair he’s fine.

It rained โ˜” a lot more this afternoon than expected and I ended up heading inside with my laptop, researching and processing some new data for the blog. I haven’t made many Google Maps in a while and I’m still going through videos from vacation. ๐ŸŽฅ There is a lot of government data out there for making maps and charts ๐Ÿ“Š if you know where to look for it.

Knowing where to find government data ๐Ÿค not only helps me make content for the blog, it is helpful reference sometimes for work and I think ta good experience and knowledge that could be useful for future career opportunities especially after I leave the state for good. The more you practice the better you get at it. That’s why I’ve gotten so good at map making.

Tonight will have patchy dense fog. Otherwise, mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒ, with a low of 40 degrees at 6am. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 15th. Light and variable wind. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 35 degrees. The record low of 17 occurred back in 1972.

Tonight will have a Last Quarter with 43% illuminated. The moon will set at 2:35 pm. The Last Quarter Moon will be tonight with mostly clear skies. The Beaver Moon ๐ŸŒ is on Monday, November 11th. The sun will rise at 7:14 am with the first light at 6:46 am, which is one minute and 11 seconds later than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ„ Tonight will have 13 hours and 9 minutes of darkness, an increase of 2 minutes and 44 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be sunny ๐ŸŒž, with a high of 59 degrees at 3pm. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 19th. Maximum dew point of 48 at 3pm. North wind around 5 mph. It would have been nice to have such weather today. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 48 degrees. The record high of 81 was set in 1979. 0.2 inches of snow fell back in 1926.โ„

In four weeks on November 17 the sun will be setting at 4:32 pm (Standard Time),๐ŸŒ„ which is one hour, 34 minutes and 24 seconds earlier then tonight. I don’t know if I already want to think about that. ๐Ÿ˜” In 2018 on that day, we had cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 44 and 37 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 47 and 31 degrees. The record high of 73 degrees was set back in 1928.

Looking ahead, Daylight Savings Time Ends ๐Ÿ›ฅ๏ธ is in 2 weeks, Average High is 50 ๐Ÿ‚ is in 3 weeks, December ๐ŸŽ„ is in 6 weeks, Bill of Rights Day ๐Ÿ“œ is in 8 weeks, Days are Getting Longer โ˜€๏ธ is in 9 weeks, National Pie Day ๐Ÿฐ is in 13 weeks, 5:30 PM Dusk ๐ŸŒ† is in 14 weeks, Inauguration Day 2021 ๐Ÿ‘ด๐Ÿป is in 15 months.

Maples Along Trail

April 11, 2019 Morning

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Next Thursday the Average High is 60 ๓Ÿ€ฎ. Mostly sunny and 33 degrees at the Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA in Delmar. Chilly spring morning, just waiting for 8:26 to roll around to head downtown. I think we are about to roll now. There is a north-northwest breeze at 5 mph. ๐Ÿƒ.

Definitely lots of sun โ˜€ today, but chilly. Nice walk down to the express bus ๐Ÿš. Spring is only a few weeks away most likely though. ๐ŸŒทThe plan is at lunch time to take a bus up to DePaula Chevrolet and get that part I need. Pretty smooth commute on this rather sunny Thursday.

Today will be mostly sunny ๐ŸŒž, with a high of 52 degrees at 4pm. Four degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical day around April 2nd. North wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the afternoon. A year ago, we had partly cloudy. The high last year was 50 degrees. The record high of 87 was set in 2017. 1.7 inches of snow fell back in 1942.โ„ Heavy snow is increasingly rare this time of year but it occasionally happens as Midwestern folks are discovering. I guess it’s a break from them hauling manure for a few days. ๐Ÿ’ฉ

The sun will set at 7:33 pm with dusk around 8:02 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ‡ At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies โ˜ and temperatures around 48 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Today will have 13 hours and 13 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 48 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒฅ, with a low of 36 degrees at 5am. Typical for tonight. Light southeast wind. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies. It got down to 29 degrees. The record low of 13 occurred back in 1874. I think I’ll keep the windows closed one more day.

I got to continue cleaning out the refrigerator tonight, ๐Ÿ  separating out the moldy food ๐Ÿฒ and the cans and glass for recycling โ™ป this weekend. Gross but necessary as I don’t have trash service where I live and pay by the bag for anything I don’t recycle or compost.

As previously noted, next Thursday the Average High is 60 ๐ŸŒผ when the sun will be setting at 7:41 pm with dusk at 8:10 pm. On that day in 2018, we had cloudy and temperatures between 47 and 33 degrees. Sometimes days disappoint. We hit a record high of 90 back in 1976.

Today if I have time โŒš I’ll post some of the maps I’ve been working on ๐ŸŒover the past few days. I’ve come up with unique ideas. I also have some essays, charts and other graphs to post ๐Ÿ“Š from things I’ve developed over the past few weeks.

I am keeping an eye on the really long range ๐Ÿ‘€for the Easter Long Weekend and it doesn’t look great. I have Good Friday off. I’m not hung up on heading out of town for Easter ๐Ÿ‡ weekend but I could decide to head up north on a Thursday night for the final and weekend of April and make my own long weekend trip depending on the weather.

I’m looking forward to packing my camping gear โ›บ in my truck and getting ready for camping season in a week or two to kick off. I like nice nights in the wilderness.
