Good Morning – December 21, 2021

Good morning! Happy First Day of Winter ☃️ !

Kind of a cool and gray winter day out here in Central NY. Warm enough things are kind of foggy from the ice and snow melt from the past weekend. A very typical day for December when there isn’t snow in Upstate NY.

Mostly cloudy and 29 degrees at the Stoney Pond State Forest. ☁ There is a northwest breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. Things will start to thaw out at around noontime. 🌡️

I was hoping for better weather for today but December can be tough. 😕 When it’s not super cold and snowy, it tends to be cloudy. But I’m glad to at least get away for a few more days before the year is done. 🥧

It’s just nice to be away, 🚜 see some of the rural and wild country of Madison County even if it’s damp, gray muddy and smells like cow manure. 🐮

Today I want to run to Cazenovia and get some isopropyl alcohol and q tips to try to clean the heater a bit better. ♨ Then do some hiking around the village and maybe some of that great rail trail before heading back to camp ⛺.

It’s the first day of winter 🌨 so I don’t necessarily have a lot of time to dilly-dally around. But I’ll make the most of it. Hopefully it will clear out this afternoon and be fairly decent.
