Monday returns this last one of August ๐ŸŒผ

The clam bake last night with the folks was nice, stayed overnight, having breakfast and then will head home, shower and ride to work. Got to burn off those alcohol calories from the family clam bake riding up the Madison Street Hill. Then the hike up to the 18th floor.

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Partly sunny and 55 degrees in Dormansville, NY. ๐ŸŒ„ Calm wind. The dew point is 55 degrees. It’s a pleasant morning, I was up around 5 AM which sounds early but I was dead out a little after nine, after having a few beers with the family clam bake, then drinking some of the clam juice. Part of the reason I woke up so early is I had to go pee off the tailgate of my truck. But it was a nice morning.

I had a nice morning with mom and dad ๐Ÿณ, mom made up her scrambled eggs with tomato, spinach and feta. Maybe not as healthy as I’d make it up at home as I really like to load my eggs up with spinach, but still pretty good breakfast. They also have some bacon ๐Ÿฅ“ which I had a small portion along with toast, which I had a half a slice. Maybe I’d have more but I had a lot of clams ๐Ÿ•น last night and didn’t want to totally over-due it. Lunch today at work I am going the direction of tofu and veggies, for some less calories but still a good portion of fiber and protein. Looking at my nutrient profile, I think I’m still consuming way too much sugar in my day, so lately I’ve been swapping out some of the fruit in my office ๐Ÿ for more carrots or celery with halved avocados for dipping. ๐Ÿฅ‘ The great thing about the celery or carrot ๐Ÿฅ• combination with avocados is you end up with fiber and omega-3 fats certain to help ward off hunger for a few hours.

Today will have a slight chance of showers after 2pm. Patchy fog before 8am. Otherwise, partly sunny ๐ŸŒฆ, with a high of 73 degrees at 2pm. A bit foggy currently in Dormansville, will have to be careful going over Derbyshire Hill to Clarksville this morning. Seven degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around September 19th. Maximum dew point of 63 at 4pm. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. It was humid. The high last year was 83 degrees. The record high of 98 was set in 1948.

I am not sure if it’s going to rain ๐ŸŒฆ or not be nice for the evening bike ride home, but if it’s bad, I’ll just put Blackie ๐Ÿšต‍โ™€๏ธ on the bus, and we’ll take it from there. I had forgotten how nice the bike racks are on the bus, and how secure bikes ride when you mount them on the bus. ๐ŸšŒ The thing is if you ride at least one way, that’s still calories burned and time enjoyed on the bike trail, even if I can’t do both ways. But I’m hopeful the rain holds off until 6 PM or later, or if I get a little wet on my evening commute, ๐Ÿ’ฆ I don’t think I’ll necessarily melt. Might be muggy later, but probably not super hot.

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:58 pm with sun having an altitude of 57.3° from the due south horizon (-13.7° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 3.9 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour ๐Ÿ… starts at 7:01 pm with the sun in the west (278°). ๐Ÿ“ธ The sunset is in the west-northwest (284°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:39 pm after setting for 2 minutes and 59 seconds with dusk around 8:06 pm, which is one minute and 39 seconds earlier than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ‡ At dusk you’ll see the Full ๐ŸŒ Moon in the southeast (137°) at an altitude of 12° from the horizon, 226,847 miles away. ๐Ÿš€ The best time to look at the stars is after 8:44 pm.

At sunset, look out for rain ๐ŸŒง and temperatures around 67 degrees. The dew point will be 63 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 5 mph. Tomorrow will have 13 hours and 21 minutes of daytime, a decrease of 2 minutes and 44 seconds over today. Probably a good night to spend with a book at home ๐Ÿ“— — I still have a lot of books to read but I have to find the time to do it. I am thinking of doing another light meal for dinner to balance out the heavy calorie-rich clam bake of yesterday ๐Ÿ•น and carbs of bread and bacon this morning, probably broil tofu with smoked salt, green beans, sweet corn and crack open that cantaloupe I bought yesterday for dessert. ๐Ÿˆ Need to find out if those 36″ waist jeans I bought yesterday at Walmart fit. I should try them on. ๐Ÿ‘–

Tonight will be mostly cloudy โ˜๏ธ, with a low of 60 degrees at 4am. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical night around August 25th. Maximum dew point of 64 at 8pm. South wind around 6 mph. In 2022, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It became very sticky as the night progressed. It got down to 69 degrees. The record low of 34 occurred back in 1982.

The clam bake I had with my folks was pretty good, ๐Ÿ•น though I wish there was more veggies and garlic in the mix, ๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐Ÿณ but I had to compromise over how I wanted it versus what my parents would like. My mom has surgery in a few days, so it was one of the last days she could enjoy food like this for a few months, so it was fun spending a nice evening out back, especially as you know these nice evenings won’t last forever.

Labor Day Weekend Looks Great. ๐Ÿ‘ทFriday, mostly sunny, with a high near 74. Maximum dew point of 57 at 6pm. Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 78. Maximum dew point of 60 at 7pm. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 79. Maximum dew point of 64 at 1pm. Labor Day, will be a warm 85 degrees and sunny. Typical average high for the weekend is 79 degrees.

Definitely going to try to take Friday off so I can get a jump on the holiday weekend โ›บ in the Adirondacks. Thinking Speculator for a great weekend with lots of sun โ˜€ relaxing, biking and swimming ๐ŸŠ. It doesn’t look like we will be short on staff, I could probably remote work but I’d rather just be able to set up camp and relax, do a lot of mountain biking or paddling on Friday, especially as the weather looks so nice. And hammock time with a good book. ๐Ÿ˜ Plus maybe some of those fourth of July fireworks I bought but never lit off.  And a few cold beers, though not like back in the day. ๐Ÿบ I mean I was surprised how many pounds I packed on Piseco-Powley during that rainy weekend a few weeks back, with some drinking and too many shrimp and other things cooked with cornstarch. Burned it off in a few days, but it was noticeable.

Hard to believe but, next Monday is Labor Day ๐Ÿ‘จ‍๐Ÿญ when the sun will be setting at 7:27 pm with dusk at 7:54 pm. Dark so early, come September! On that day in 2022, we had hot, humid, partly sunny, rain showers and temperatures between 87 and 61 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 79 degrees. We hit a record high of 97 back in 1929.

November 13, 2018 Morning

Good morning! Tonight is first Average Nightly Temperature Below Freezing 🌌. Six weeks to Christmas 🎅. Maybe it will warm up again and I can spend Christmas camping in Brookfield again. That was wild that year in 2015, warm and no snow. Hiking Glimmerglass State Park on Christmas morning was wonderful. With the heat dome in the mid west and west, I could see it pushing east by December. I’d take a 45 degree day with lots of sun for mid-December. 🌞 Climate change has its upside in the winter if you’re not a snowmobiler right now and your on the hot side of the increasingly wavy jet stream.

Heavy rain and 36 degrees in Delmar. โ˜” No snow here but very cold and wet. There is a north breeze at 5 mph. 🍃.

Temperatures locally will drop below freezing at around 10 pm. โ˜ƒ๏ธ Up north I’ve heard it’s an all snow event. Yep there getting more snow there, although I don’t think the snowmobile trails open until the end of Big Game Season.🐻

Today will rain, mainly before noon, then a slight chance of showers after 4pm. 🌧 High of 40 degrees at 3pm. Nine degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical day around December 4th. Definitely not a warm day. Northwest wind 5 to 11 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. A year ago, we had cloudy skies with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 41 degrees. The record high of 69 was set in 1964. 6 inches of snow fell back in 1886.โ„

The sun will set at 4:34 pm with dusk around 5:04 pm, which is 58 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for rain showers 🌧 and temperatures around 39 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 11 mph with gusts up to 21mph. Today will have 9 hours and 48 minutes of daytime, a decrease of 2 minutes and 13 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have a slight chance of rain showers before 8pm, then a slight chance of rain and snow showers between 8pm and 9pm, then a chance of snow showers after 9pm. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 24 degrees at 6am. Eight degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical night around December 8th. Northwest wind 11 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. In 2017, we had cloudy skies. It got down to 32 degrees. The record low of 12 occurred back in 1996.

Finally bought coffee. โ˜• It was good having a nice strong cup of coffee this morning. Percolator pot on the stove still works great. Simple technology is the best. Helped with getting up and heading out to the bus stop on this rather rainy and cold morning.🚏Nice and warm on the bus during this rainy morning, as I listen to Hollies heading down. I’m glad they built a bus shelter 🚍 near where I live on rainy mornings like today. Plus the heated bus shelter in the plaza for the evening trip home, now. That’s so awesome.

It’s good to be back in the routine, although it’s not going to last as I’m back in the field for work for a few more days this week 🌽 but soon it will be the normal routine where I can leave Big Red parked hooked up to the solar panel for a full week or more. 🚌That’s winter, I like to save as much gasoline and money as possible until traveling season returns, especially as my utility bills increase with the heat being turned on.โ›ฝ

When I went shopping yesterday, I forgot to buy more waffle mix. I did buy frozen cherries to top them off. 🍒 I have eggs from my parents for breakfast today. Bought cheese and sausage to complement them. 🍳 Very filling meal, I packed lunch but I’ll probably skip it in favor of having an early dinner around four.

When I’m at Walmart, I usually try to buy the biggest family sized packages of food just because it saves money and reduce waste,💰 especially during the winter when I don’t have a fire to chuck the packaging into like is so handy when camping. Plus the waffle mix boxes are just paper so I can recycle them for free, no hauling to the transfer station. Saves a lot of money also buying bulk and means fewer times of running low on supplies. I think I have the same jumbo bottle of shampoo that I bought at the beginning of the year because it’s lasted so long. Every dollar saved is one closer to owning my off-grid cabin. 🏡 It’s good to have a savings goal in life. Oh, and today is pay day.

Looking ahead, there are 6 weeks until Christmas 🎅 when the sun will be setting at 4:27 pm with dusk at 4:59 pm. On that day in 2017, we had snow, heavy fog, freezing fog, mist, squalls, partly cloudy skies and temperatures between 33 and 17 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 33 degrees. That was no 2015 that year. We hit a record high of 66 back in 1889. It was even warmer I believe on Christmas Eve 2015.

Good Evening. School is Back. Heat Returns Tomorrow. Went Hiking Saturday. Started on Pennsylvania Maps.

Good Evening!ย Well we made it through the Monday. Only four more days left until the weekend — although next weekend looks really busy with a class I am taking all day on Saturday, and funeral I have to drive down to on Sunday. But so be it. The following week, I am heading up to Moose River Plains, assuming I can get Thursday and Friday off from work and it doesn’t look like its going to rain. Tired of camping in the rain.

School is Back in Session.ย Welcome back traffic on the roads. I missed you. And the bus is running late. I am going to start having to catch the earlier bus to work, so I get to work reasonably on time. So it goes. The circle comes back around.

Today’s Nice Cool Weather Should Turn toย Swelteringย Heat By Tomorrow.ย I sure like the cool weather, in the 60s and 70s, where I can wear my Carharrt vest and a long sleave shirt, but I also realize, it’s a bit too early for it to be so cold out. We got to go a couple more months before winter comes. No need to rush the fall.

Got My Tire Patched and Back on the Truck. The dang tire was a pain in the butt to get off the truck and back on. It’s so heavy. But $35 dollars later, it’s been patched and I put it back on the truck. It is what it is. Hopefully this will be the last time I run over a nail or screw with my truck.

Went Up to Rensselearville State Forest and Bear Swamp.ย It was a very clear and nice weather by Sunday afternoon, but a little too late to go out to the Catskills, so I decided to head on up to Rensselarville. Hiked around the loop on snowmobile trail in the back off of Rivenberg road, then explored some of the local roads up there that have great views of the Catskills. Bear Swamp was interesting too — I’ve only been back there a few times, despite being within 5 miles of where I grew up as a child.

Started Making Up Some Pennsylvania Maps.ย While I have pretty good GIS coverage now set up for all of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, my first priority will be mostly Allegheny National Forest Maps. My goal is to make high quality maps of the many public motor vehicle roads, with roadside (dispersed) campsites shown to be the best of my knowledge. It’s complicated to get maps set up for different states, as the data sources vary quite dramatically from state to state, but I am getting happy with the results. A few of the new maps will start popping up this week and next — with more refined ones to come in the future.

Mt. Anthony and Beyond

Hoping for a smoother Tuesday today ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿš’๐Ÿงฏ

I did not appreciate missing the express bus home yesterday or the smoke alarm repeatedly tripping off after cooking dinner. Or repeatedly hitting the wrong keys in VIM at work yesterday, half awake on a Monday. But the salmon and frozen asparagus was good for dinner as was the larger paycheck with my new job.

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Clouds and 28 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ˜ Calm wind.There are 3 inches of snow on the ground. โ˜ƒ ๏ธThings will start to thaw out at around 1 pm. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ

Made it through my birthday ๐ŸŽ‚ without anybody saying anything besides my mom= and a few people at work. I keep my birthday locked down on Facebook as I get tired of all the fake happy birthdays you get on Facebook. I really don’t appreciate all the unwarranted attention to myself and my age, I’d rather tell my story but otherwise he ignored. Maybe that’s why I don’t do the social media.

Yesterday was a Monday and kind of a shitty one but it was always silly stuff. ๐Ÿ’ฉ The kind of things that you can hit escape and then u in vim and undo. I just wasn’t feeling Monday, even if was my forty first time around the sun โ˜€. The smoke detector that kept going off time and time again from cooking smoke and moisture ๐Ÿง‘‍๐Ÿš’ really set me off as did having to ride the local home. ๐Ÿก Then I had to piss and crap so badly that I barely made the toilet ๐Ÿšฝ and had to clean up the seat but fortunately not my pants ๐Ÿ‘– this time. ๐Ÿคฏ All that fiber and water from eating lots of fruits and vegetables can be tough at times. Especially spaghetti squash ๐Ÿ† which I find hard not to overeat but can he very lubricating of the gut and everything connected. Gawd, I’m getting old ๐Ÿ‘ด๐Ÿผ.

I got this enormous glass ๐Ÿธ at work as a Christmas gift that I love and when it’s full of water ๐Ÿ’ฆ and ice ๐ŸงŠ it’s so easy to overdo it and I was busy at the end of the day with work ๐Ÿ“„ and didn’t have time to run to the bathroom before catching the shuttle ๐Ÿš€ back to the Plaza. And then missing the express bus ๐Ÿš. Yeap. Forgot my fork ๐Ÿฝ at lunch yesterday and didn’t have a spare one in my new office ๐Ÿข so the cooked part of lunch with peas, corn, peppers and tofu got skipped for lunch as that ain’t finger ๐Ÿ–• food. The milk ๐Ÿฅ› I had in the mason jar for my coffee โ˜• at work went rancid. That was a Monday, my birthday. ๐ŸŽ‚

I’m thinking today won’t be such a shit show ๐Ÿค” or so I tell myself. ๐Ÿฅž Woke up at five o’clock like usual with no alarm โฐ and made some good oatmeal banana ๐ŸŒ pancakes. I’ve finally mastered a good recipe that is absolutely delicious ๐Ÿ˜‹ topped with mango and blueberries with real maple ๐Ÿ syrup. The real stuff is so much better even if it’s slightly more calories. It’s not like I eat much meat or milk high in saturated fats these days or processed foods or added sugars so I figured I can use a little bit of natural sweetness occasionally like honey ๐Ÿฏ or pure maple syrup.

Went for a five mile bike ride this morning after breakfast before showering and catching the express bus downtown. ๐Ÿšฒ Not so cold this morning for a change. My hands ๐Ÿ‘ weren’t cold nor was my face. The cows ๐Ÿฎ on Meads Road were up and around chewing their cud not all huddled together. ๐Ÿšœ It was nice for a change. I probably would have gone for a longer ride, but time was tight as it was close to 6:50 AM when I got out riding. One thing is nice is that the mornings are a lot brighter then they were.

Today will have patchy freezing drizzle before 10am. Mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒฅ, with a high of 33 degrees at 2pm. Typical for today. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, which became light snow by afternoon. The high last year was 41 degrees. The record high of 56 was set in 2013. 11.0 inches of snow fell back in 1966.โ„

After all of it, dinner last night was good, ๐ŸŸ even if the fire alarm problem was annoying. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐Ÿš’ I am not sure why it’s been such a problem with the smoke detectors this winter. I got a new smoke detector hoping it would stop false alarms, ๐Ÿ”• without much luck. Fresh asparagus are hard to get this time of year, but the frozen ones weren’t bad. ๐ŸŽ Looking forward to spring ๐Ÿฐ when the fresh ones are more available for a reasonable price, like around Easter. ๐Ÿ‘ฃ Evening walk was good too. I need to get back in the habit, if my fingers are cold all of the time, ๐Ÿงค I should learn to toughen up and get better gloves. It’s not like I have as much of an opportunity to get steps in working in the suburban office, though come nicer weather when I don’t have to dress up as much, I’ll probably be back to riding back in and home from the office. I figure after President’s Day, there will be enough daylight in the evening to ride home, and that’s where the real calorie burning takes place. ๐ŸŒง With the rain and cold, I’ve really gotten out of the habit, and my stomach and face are starting to show it.

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:09 pm with sun having an altitude of 29.6° from the due south horizon (-41.2° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 10.6 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour ๐Ÿ… starts at 4:24 pm with the sun in the west-southwest (239°). ๐Ÿ“ธ The sunset is in the west-southwest (247°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 5:06 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 10 seconds with dusk around 5:35 pm, which is one minute and 18 seconds later than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ‡ The best time to look at the stars is after 6:10 pm. At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies โ˜ and temperatures around 32 degrees. There will be a south-southeast breeze at 7 mph. Tomorrow will have 9 hours and 59 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 18 seconds over today.

Maybe I’ve been overly cranky, but the smoke detector thing in particularly really set me off yesterday, ๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍๐Ÿš’ especially after such a long and difficult birthday. I am so done with winter, ready for nicer weather and longer days. At least the mornings and evenings aren’t as dark we move into February. I have a lot to look forward to once we get over the hump of winter. โ›„ I think what I really need is just more time in the wilderness. ๐Ÿ• Maybe this weekend.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒฅ, with a low of 25 degrees at 4am. 10 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 11th. South wind around 7 mph. In 2023, we had light snow in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 18 degrees. The record low of -26 occurred back in 1948.

It’s always nice to see a bit of money in bank account ๐Ÿ’ฐ before the money goes into retirement, investments, and my landlord’s slice. ๐Ÿ˜ My apartment is a dump but it’s affordable.

A picture perfect weekend on tap. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Saturday, sunny, with a high near 35. Sunday, sunny, with a high near 35. Typical average high for the weekend is 33 degrees. I am thinking of doing an overnight in the woods this weekend, though I wish I had skis โ›ท but I should be able to ride roads if the trails have too much which they might. Kind of a birthday weekend camping adventure. โ›บ But a week late. Probably won’t head too far out of town for that. President’s Day Weekend, depending on how much snow there is, I might head up to the Adirondacks or Madison County.

As previously noted, next Tuesday is Save the Pine Bush Turns 43 ๐Ÿฆ‹ when the sun will be setting at 5:16 pm with dusk at 5:44 pm. On that day in 2023, we had partly sunny and temperatures between 41 and 21 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 34 degrees. We hit a record high of 55 back in 1991.

Open Water

Mild start to our Tuesday ๐ŸŒซ๏ธ

It’s a relative thing and indeed it’s going to cool off by afternoon and turn to snow and rain by evening. But I figure it should be a pleasant morning bike ride this morning, not so cold for a change. Makes up for the bone chilling ride yesterday.

Good morning! Mostly cloudy and 35 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ˜ There is a west-southwest breeze at 6 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. Nice, saves on the heat. There are 2 inches of snow on the ground. โ˜ƒ ๏ธWon’t be long before the bike path is free of snow again. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 4 pm. โ˜ƒ๏ธ

Johnnycakes this morning ๐Ÿณ with spinach and broccoli ๐Ÿฅฆ topped with cottage cheese and nutritional yeast. No onions this time but jalapeรฑos and turmeric in the mix. Lots of fiber and protein from the egg and cottage cheese. Then had with a grapefruit ๐ŸŸ . I decided against kneading bread last night ๐Ÿž, been trying to cut back a bit on the carbs and I was tired ๐Ÿ˜ด aftera my evening walk ๐Ÿšถ.

Out riding this morning ๐Ÿšฒ, not so cold. Recharged the bike lights up yesterday ๐Ÿ”ฆ, they get a lot of use with the dark mornings though lately they’ve not been quite as dark as slowly but surely the days are getting longer even on cloudy days like today. Important to be seen on these dark winter mornings out riding early. ๐ŸŒƒ

Today will have a chance of snow before 1pm, then snow, possibly mixed with rain. ๐ŸŒง High of 36 degrees at 11am. Four degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 14th. West wind 5 to 7 mph becoming north in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. A year ago, we had light snow in the morning, which became light snow by afternoon. The high last year was 34 degrees. The record high of 64 was set in 1906. 10.6 inches of snow fell back in 1963.โ„

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:08 pm with sun having an altitude of 27.8ยฐ from the due south horizon (-43ยฐ vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 11.4 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. Midday sun is getting higher in the sky. The golden hour ๐Ÿ… starts at 4:14 pm with the sun in the west-southwest (237ยฐ). ๐Ÿ“ธ The sunset is in the west-southwest (244ยฐ) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:57 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 14 seconds with dusk around 5:27 pm, which is one minute and 15 seconds later than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ‡ At dusk you’ll see the Full ๐ŸŒ Moon in the east-northeast (75ยฐ) at an altitude of 25ยฐ from the horizon, 244,938 miles away. ๐Ÿš€ The best time to look at the stars is after 6:02 pm. At sunset, look for rain ๐ŸŒง and snow ๐ŸŒจ and temperatures around 34 degrees. There will be a north-northwest breeze at 5 mph. Tomorrow will have 9 hours and 43 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 2 seconds over today.

Almost missed the express bus ๐Ÿš home though maybe I could have caught it at the Capitol or had to take the 18 home. ๐Ÿก If that happens occasionally it’s not the end of the world. Ron was driving the shuttle yesterday and he was running late and the express was running early and there was a school ๐Ÿšธ bus and a lot of traffic on Erie Boulevard last night. The transfer is tight so I’m not surprised. ๐Ÿคจ Still I prefer it to driving ๐Ÿš˜ especially in bad weather like tonight. But I’m looking forward to bike trail being snow free so I can bicycle ๐Ÿšฒ to work and not have to pay the bus fare.

Tonight will snow, possibly mixed with rain before 2am, then snow likely between 2am and 4am, then snow likely, possibly mixed with freezing rain after 4am. ๐ŸŒจ Low of 30 degrees at 11pm. 15 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 27th. Light and variable wind becoming southeast around 6 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Little or no ice accumulation expected. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible. Kind of a mixed bag. In 2023, we had light snow in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 31 degrees. The record low of -17 occurred back in 1948.

I guess it depends on how cold โ„ it is when I get home if I do an evening walk ๐Ÿšถ though I would like to keep up that habit. I don’t want to walk in the rain โ˜” but I’ll walk in the snow ๐ŸŒจ. After such a lazy weekend I’m trying to boost my exercise program but it’s tough especially to do the cardio without the stairs of the office downtown. Friday I have training downtown so I can do the stairs then as I plan to spend the balance of the day in offices downtown.

Mild but rainy later โ˜” this weekend. Saturday, mostly cloudy, with a high near 44. Could be a nice day for a ride on my bike out in the country. Sunday, rain likely. Cloudy, with a high near 40. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Typical average high for the weekend is 33 degrees.

Looking ahead, there are 2 weeks until Save the Pine Bush Turns 46 ๐Ÿฆ‹ when the sun will be setting at 5:16 pm with dusk at 5:44 pm. Gaining quite a bit of light in the evening. On that day in 2023, we had partly sunny and temperatures between 41 and 21 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 34 degrees. We hit a record high of 55 back in 1991.

Dog Treat Now.
