Weather Update – January 14, 2022

|

I have to say I’m a bit disappointed with the weekend but not surprised 🌨

Martin Luther King 👑 weekend just tends to be cold as it’s the coldest time of the year. But winters aren’t as cold as they once were and things will moderate eventually. I could always take off a Friday if I wanted to make my own three day weekend. Or maybe it’s just better to wait until spring time. 🌸 Three months from now will be mid April and things often start to moderate by then. Winter is a busy season at any rate with work.

Good Morning – January 14, 2022

|

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday!

Cloudy and 28 degrees heading downtown on the express bus. ☁ There is a north-northwest breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. There is a dusting of snow on the ground. ☃ Things will start to thaw out at Monday around noontime. 🌡️

This morning is quite mild but the mercury is expected to drop and the wind pick up later. ❄ Going to be another cold evening with the wind whipping around. I left the kitchen cabinets open and made sure the door 🚪 was secure before leaving but decided to skip turning the heat back up before I get home from work. Tonight I’ll turn it back up though.

Looks like the Hudson River is icing up today. 🏞 First time I’ve seen that in a few years but then again the past two years were mostly remote. That said, I don’t think the wind chill will freeze the river quicker and it will be above freezing by next week. After the snow on Monday, which I think might be more rain than anything else.

With the LOB being closed 🔐 to the public with the COVID, and them checking IDs extra careful today 🔎 I’m starting to think that I might not want to get off at the Concourse bus stop and go through that way. Probably safer to walk 🚶 outside at any rate. I usually do most of my walking outside anyways because I’m no fan of wearing the muzzle while walking. 😷

It is definitely a bit chilly walking 🚶 on the Plaza today with that wind 🍃. But I know tomorrow and even today is going to be hard to get in my steps with the cold. 👣 As much as I hate strapping on the muzzle I might go down to the library 📚. I wouldn’t mind getting out some books.

I see they finished taking down the State Christmas Tree 🎄. Yesterday they were taking down the lights and today they finished chipping it up. I guess that’s a sign the holiday season is done. I still have the holiday lights up in my office, I could put them away but they add a lot of color on dreary cold days like today.
