In Lake-Effect County, the definitely have some snow. 🌨
Locally not so much snow, but maybe we will get some more on Monday, although the latest models are suggesting it will be more rain and ice in the greater Albany-area. Maybe a few inches of snow here and there, but it looking less and less like a major snow event, but they keep warning us that the storm track will change again one way or another. But on Tug and Western Adirondacks, they have some decent snow falls around.

January 15, 2022 – Looking Ahead This Week
The word “COLD” is repeated a lot in the forecast. 🧣🧤
This certainly would not have been the weekend to head out of town. 🏕 Even Sunday looks cold. And who knows about Martin Luther King Day. Looks to be a mixed bag, as much as anything. Probably more ice, so I can slip and fall and actually do damage to my body 😣 this time. I got to be careful with those dress shoes and the ice.
But maybe like last time, they will have sidewalks well salted in a day or two, and with the sun on Tuesday things will start to melt away, even if it’s cold. Kind of weird how some days will be quite cold, while other days will be warm enough to count as late February. Who knows what next month will look like?

Good Afternoon – January 15, 2022
Good afternoon! What can I say, but it’s cold outside. 🧤
I thought about walking out to Five Rivers earlier, and actually it didn’t look too bad around dawn but then the winter picked up. Now, maybe it’s not too bad, as the winter is pretty still. I might go down to the library in a bit.
Partly sunny and 10 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a north breeze at 14 mph. 🍃. The current wind chill is -6. There is a dusting of snow on the ground. ☃ Things will start to thaw out at Monday around 9 am. 🌡️
I think it would be good to go down to the library 📚 mainly so I can get a few steps in before it gets dark. At times with the sun out it doesn’t seem that bad, but then the breeze picks up. Cold days like this aren’t that uncommon in winter, but with all the drama of the news, I am quite happy to stay home, after a rather busy week at work. 😫
While I was up around 5 AM, 🌅 I hid out in my bed well into the morning hours, turning on the electric blanket, as the heat downstairs is falling behind a bit, plus I don’t want to turn on the upstairs baseboard heat, because it’s been years since it was run, and it will stink if I turn it on from the dust. Despite the sun, the mornings are just so dark this time of year, although we are picking up some sun in the morning.
