Weather Update – January 11, 2022

There is a lot of cold in this forecast 😰

Then again, that is to be expected this time of year. And indeed, it’s been a lot colder in years past. This weekend seems a bit cold for going up north, but I will take it one day at a time, and decided based on how windy and what the ultimate forecast looks like come the weekend, which may very well change. Lots of sun though, and not much snow in the forecast.

Good Morning – January 11, 2022

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. It’s supposedly cold out. 🌬

It must be cold out, because the news says it’s cold out. I mean it must be cold out compared to those 5-dozen or so 500 watt studio light bulbs making everything look bright and cheery while reporting on the latest murderer, said to be an African American, with no racism implied, who was arrested eating one of his corpses with mash potatoes and canned gravy from an “undisclosed by the police” supermarket. Now it’s time for a commercial break, Price Chopper has complete steak and potato frozen meals on sale for $8.55 — only this week — beat inflation before the news on inflation comes in on Wednesday !! πŸ₯© πŸ₯”

Partly sunny and 9 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a northwest breeze at 13 mph. πŸƒ. The current wind chill is -7. There is a dusting of snow on the ground. β˜ƒ Things will start to thaw out at Thursday around 11 am. 🌑️

After all, it must be cold, because the news media is reporting it. 🌬 But honestly I think I’ve heard one gust of wind this morning, and honestly I don’t think single digit weather is all that cold, when I can remember plenty of negative -5 and even -15 degree nights in the not that far away past. Maybe mostly before the panademic. The sidewalks have been salted and with yesterday’s sunlight and breeeze are pretty much clean although the driveway is still a bit icy.

I probably could have and should have gone for a walk last night, 🚢‍♀️ as it honestly wasn’t that cold but I didn’t. It’s supposed to be super windy out, but honestly the breeze is light. Maybe it will be colder later if the breeze picks up but what do I know. That said, I doubt I’ll be running out to the bus extra early, and taking the local, properly dressed, I probably will spend pretty minimal time outside. If it wasn’t a session day, I might walk laps in the Plaza, but I really loathe walking inside wearing the muzzle regardless. 😷
