Tuesday, Tuesday. At least I think I can ride to work today 🤔
Three weeks from now it will be back to work in the new year. Going to take a few days off before Christmas though that week between Christmas and New Years I’ll have to be in the office downtown to supervise the unit as the other director is off and to pack up my office in preparation for the move. I figure I’ll come by the office after hours when parking is free to move boxes and my plants.
Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Mostly clear and 33 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a south breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 3 am. ☃️
Decent enough morning to ride to work. 🚲 Cool but that’s to be expected this time of year. Should be a good ride in. Only a few more days I expect to be able to ride in before it’s too snowy and I’m working out in the suburbs but we’ll see. At least when spring comes I won’t have to be doing the State Street Hill on my bike. 🚍 Plus riding the bike saves a buck thirty and the craziness 🤪 due to South Swan at the South Maul Arterial being closed due to the water 💦 main brake. I wonder if that’s fixed yet.
Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 43 degrees at 2pm. Four degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around December 2nd. South wind 6 to 10 mph. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies. The high last year was 30 degrees. The record high of 62 was set in 1979. 6.6 inches of snow fell back in 1970.❄
Just another work day. Rush project today. Should be a fairly busy day but it will make time go by quickly. Tomorrow is the annual work from home day, 🏡 I guess it’s part of the holiday celebration and allows people to bake cookies for cookie share day on Thursday. 🍪
Last night had a nice dinner. 🍲 That bean soup and bread was good last night but kept my stomach rumbling throughout the night. Had a bunch of Acorn Squash. Went for my evening walk 🚶. Got milk 🥛 last night which was good with the coffee ☕ and cranberry pancakes 🥞 this morning. Added shredded oranges to the top with some honey. 🍯Up at five o’clock ⏰ and then did some more of my class on artifical intelligence 🧠 and neural networks.
Solar noon 🌞 is at 11:50 am with sun having an altitude of 24.3° from the due south horizon (-46.5° vs. 6/21).

Tomorrow my truck gets inspected, oil changed and tires rotated. 🛻Working from home then. Baking cookies for bake cookies day at work. 🍪 I need to pull the hub caps off, I was going to do that this morning but I can do it tomorrow. I’m not worried, 😯 I think Big Red should pass inspection with ease.🔎The truck needs to be dropped off at the garage by 8:30 then I’ll ride home 🚲 and work from home or maybe the library depending on how much bandwidth I need.
Today, Pennsylvania becomes the second state to ratify the United States Constitution, 📜 five days after Delaware became the first on this day in 1787. It’s a nice document but only as good as the politicians and those appointed by the politicians that enforce it.
A picture perfect weekend on tap. 😎 Saturday, partly sunny, with a high near 44. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 43. Typical average high for the weekend is 38 degrees. Thinking of riding out to French’s Mills and or the Pine Bush Preserve on Saturday. 🚲 🌲
Looking ahead, there are 2 weeks until Boxing Day 🥊 when the sun will be setting at 4:29 pm with dusk at 4:59 pm. Popular day for burning 🔥 all those Christmas boxes I guess. On that day in 2022, we had partly sunny and temperatures between 30 and 16 degrees. It’s a state holiday for me – Christmas Eve Observed I guess due to it being om a Sunday for folks traveling. Typically, the high temperature is 35 degrees. We hit a record high of 59 back in 1895.
December 5, 2019 Morning
Good morning! Happy Repeal of Prohibition Day 🍺! Good day for beer specials at your friendly local bar. Three weeks to Boxing Day 🥊. Partly cloudy and 33 degrees at the Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA. ⛅ Already above freezing, seeing a bit more melting. There is a southwest breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. There are 17 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ We will look back in the 2020s and 2030s and remember the olden days in 2019 when we had so much snow. ️Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 3 pm. ☃️
Sidewalks are getting better and should continue to improve in Delmar 🚶 with the today’s sun but maybe some black ice come later with the falling temperatures this afternoon into evening. Friday is supposed to be pretty cold. Deep snow means I can’t cut across the traffic island to get to the express bus 🚏which means that I have to use the crosswalk signal 🚸 which can be a lot slower.
Today will have a chance of snow showers, mainly before 2pm. Partly sunny 🌦, with a high of 38 degrees at 11am. Two degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around December 8th.

There will be a west-northwest breeze at 13 mph. Today will have 9 hours and 12 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 11 seconds over yesterday.
Snow banks remain quite high ⛄ along the South Maul Arterial which seems to make traffic go through it slowly. But it’s moving and I’m not driving 🚍 so I have little to complain about.
Heading over to John Wolcott house 🏡 this afternoon for more of the history project. 🔎 This is really close to done so I’m thinking maybe only one more night this month after tonight. I just have a lot of other things to do in the coming weeks, especially with the holidays upcoming. 🎄

I think with the breeze 💨this weekend it might be pretty cool but Sunday I want to go skiing 🎿 at Five Rivers before heading out to the folks house for Sunday dinner. 🍲 Maybe Saturday will be a stay at home day although I guess I could ski the rail trail if it ain’t too cold. Regular season ends Sunday then I’ll have the woods to myself besides the black powder guys and gals. Much better to small gane hunt and camp ⛺ when you have the woods to yourself.
