Weather Update – April 2, 2023

The week ahead … 😎

Chilly night ahead tonight, following a cool day. I think though with the sun I’ll be fine with the heat off, especially with the mercury heading up to 63 degrees come morning. It will be cold in the morning, but I usually start walking shortly after I get up, and my heated blanket keeps me warm under that.

The long holiday weekend, assuming I have Good Friday off looks nice, and with the rain, the fire danger will be down, but I’ll have to keep things small being early spring. But often the wind dies down after dark. I want to cook some salmon over the fire, and maybe some trout if I go fishing on Friday. Of course that all depends on the timing for the budget, but I can’t imagine there will be session during Passover or Good Friday. I have in years past had client business to do on Good Friday but usually that’s a cellphone thing, I can bring my laptop with me and work remote.

I am totally ready for some good nights in the wilderness. Especially when it’s not so cold and snowy out. That said, I wouldn’t mind a bit of snow around to reduce the fire risk, but not tromping through it. I don’t have any immediate plans to go to the Adirondacks as the snow up north is still deep but I might go out to Cazenovia before the end of the month for the three or day weekend.

Daily Update – April 2, 2023

Good evening! Palm Sunday. 🌴

Some down time was I wait for my wash at the laundromat and then get groceries for the week. Just planning on keeping my pantry stocked through Thursday, as I want to shop again on Thursday or actually probably Wednesday so I can get out camping for the long weekend.

Sunny and 45 degrees at the Four Corners Laundromat. 🌞 There is a northwest breeze at 11 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 9 pm. ☃️

Well I’m working on my 20 mile walk for today. 🏃 So far I’ve gotten in 18.3 miles, hiking first out to Hollyhock Preserve in Selkirk — that Collabeck Hill is good for getting the blood pumping, then all over the Hollyhock Trails then over to Five Rivers, hiking around there the balance of the afternoon before heading home via Fisher Boulevard. I am going to do my evening walk so I can get my true 20 miles in for the day.

I really have enjoyed the walk, 🐃 🌺 and the rural landscape, but I can tell you at times that wind was super cold, especially walking along Meads Road mid-afternoon. But I am close to getting my twenty miles in for the day, which was my goal for the day, and seeing a lot of nature, at a non-hurried pace. Walked about 8 hours today though that includes numerous breaks, especially at Five Rivers, spending time to outdoors. The wind and relatively low temperatures made for a cold day but it was very sunny.

I like walking, and I plan to do more of it. This complements my more healthy eating, 🍎 is hopefully leading to better health habits. I want to do at least one more 20 mile walk before I attempt my 30 mile walk later in April or early May along the Mowhawk River on the Erie Canalway. That’s going to be a long day, but I think an enjoyable one. Probably do the 30 mile hike on Friday, when there aren’t so many crowds along the way.
