October 30, 2015 update

Now that the sun has come up, it’s going to be a nice weekend, although I will be in NY City again for work. Currently 50 degrees with a breeze – only looking for a high around 54 today.

The following weekend I will be either doing my North Country trip or possibly a local trip plus packing for the North Country. It all depends on the weather as I don’t want to camp in November either in the rain or snow.

Assuming that we are snow free in late November I’m increasingly thinking about going up to the Green National Forest but I guess such weather becomes increasingly unlikely. Otherwise there is always Route 8 in the Adirondacks.

Fall colors are starting to fade in the city and certainly are mostly gone from the mountains. Sunday is November and Daylight Savings Time concludes. It sure will be nice to have additional sunlight in the morning and not be totally getting up in the pitch black. I always have trouble getting going this time of year.

Good morning. Sunrise at 7:26 AM this morning. 46 degrees currently; it will get up to 54 degrees later with a breeze.   Times of clouds and sun today. The weekend should be sunny with temperatures around 54.

Have a great Friday!

Good evening. Currently 45 degrees under bright moonlight. A breeze makes it feel a lot cooler but it’s still pleasant sitting outside this evening or going for the evening walk. Tomorrow will be much cooler with a high around 51 degrees and ample sun. October us rapidly coming to an end.

Enjoyed sitting out at the library on the bench with my laptop. The walk was great too. I hope we have at least a few more evenings just as pleasant as we head into the month of November. Nights are long this time of year but they don’t necessarily have to be cold and miserable all the time. Hoping to do a lot more winter camping this year.

October 29, 2015 evening

Good evening. Currently 57 degrees and clear but with a brisk breeze that makes it cooler than the mercury would suggest. Evening shadows make it seem particularly cool. Sunset is at 5:52 PM. 49 degrees and clear at 9 PM but with the breeze will feel fairly cool.

The good news is that tomorrow is Friday and the weekend can’t be that far away. Daylight Savings Time starts Sunday, so starting next week we will get to sleep in an extra hour.

Nicer weather this evening than last, and by 8 o’clock we will have plenty of moonlight to enjoy. I know I will have a sweater on and will be enjoying my evening walk.

Traffic is as usual sluggish downtown by for some reason is particularly bad on Broadway. There must be some kind of event downtown as there seems to be a lot of people parking downtown. Maybe at the Palace but it seems like we are a ways from there. Despite the sun in drivers eyes, traffic is moving relatively well on 787. Still some stop and go.
