Good evening! Mostly clear and 38 degrees at the Finger Lakes National Forest in Hector.  There is a west-southwest breeze at 13 mph. Cool but not as cold as previous nights. A big fire is helping to keep me warm.  Lots of bright moonlight tonight. Stars shine through the woods now that leaves are mostly gone. That said the early sunset, I’m almost ready to retire to bed in the pickup. 

Tonight will be mostly clear, with a low of 33 degrees at 4am. One degree above normal. West wind around 13 mph. One year ago, partly cloudy with a low around 43. The record low of 13 occurred back in 1981.

Waxing Gibbous Moon tonight with 90% illuminated. Nice big moon. The moon will set around 7:18 am. The Full β€œBeaver” Moon is tomorrow night with partly cloudy skies expected.

Tomorrow will be sunny, with a high of 52 degrees at 2pm. Three degrees above normal. Warmer but still somewhat breezy. West wind 10 to 13 mph. Last year, partly cloudy with a high around 56. The record high of 69 was set in 1964. There was 6 inches of snow back in 1886. 

The sun will rise at 6:56 am with the first light at 6:26 am, which is 1 minutes and 15 seconds later then yesterday. Which is yet another reason to retire for the night soon. 

I got to get an early start and tear down camp in the morning so I can move to the next campsite, which will hopefully be much more sheltered from the wind. The next campsite I will erect a tent so I can have a warm place to get changed in the morning and a toasty tent before I retire for the night.
