Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Back to work after the long weekend. Sunny and 47 degrees in Liverpool. Calm wind. A nice morning, I went out for a nice walk along Onondaga Lake for a while. Cool morning, but the lake was pretty with the fog rising up of the skies. Also finished doing my wash and got it folded and put away. Finally caught up on my wash, at least for a while. A lot of traffic this morning in Liverpool though. Later in week, though I will probably head back to Green Lakes.

Three weeks left in October, and four weeks until Election Day. But the pundits are as busy as usual talking about election day. Still fifty days until we have a recorded temperature below zero, so that’s a ways off. That happened on November 30th, many years ago. All week will be sunny and 5-10 degrees above normal in the day time, but Thursday will be somewhat rainy and cloudy — but still mild. Looking forward to my mid-November road trip.

Today marks my 9th anniversary at my job since college. I started the day after Columbus Day Weekend. I guess time goes by really quickly, and there aren’t many people who stay with the same company for so long. Over the years, I’ve traveled to every upstate city and many downstate and in the city. But it really seems like yesterday. Probably stay at least one more year, or maybe another twenty. Eventually though I hope to move on to other opportunities in other states. The weekend before I started my new job I went up camping at Terry Mountain State Forest outside of Plattsburgh. That was a nice weekend camping, although I think one of the days was the first day of bow hunting season, and was awoken by bow hunters getting out in the woods at daybreak.

Today will be sunny, with a high of 64 degrees at 3pm. Two degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 39 at 4pm. Light southeast wind. The record high of 86 was set in 1949. The sun will set at 6:27 pm with dusk around 6:55 pm, which is 1 minutes and 41 seconds earlier than yesterday. Today will have 11 hours and 11 minutes of daylight, a decrease of 2 minutes and 52 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy, with a low of 47 degrees at 6am. Four degrees above normal. Southeast wind 3 to 5 mph. The record low of 22 occurred back in 1964.

There are 2 weeks until World Pasta Day when the sun will be setting at 6:05 pm with dusk at 6:34 pm. The average high temperature is 56 degrees, with a record high of 77 in 1963.
