Maybe the 8-14 day outlook is a sign the Ground Hog will see his shadow?
Certainly it seems like the thermostat will be stuck on the coldest position for the next few weeks in the Albany-area. But it is January. Unusual that we get so much cold weather in Albany, especially with the climate warming so much these days.
Maybe early March weather today but by evening the mercury will feel colder because of the wind. Then it just looks like a lot of cold but not much snow for the foreseeable future. Looks like another cold weekend, might be okay for a hike out to Five Rivers if I bundle up but probably not much more.

A new Gallup analysis examined how Americans' partisan preferences shifted over the course of the year 2021, with findings that indicate momentum for Republicans heading into this midterm election year.
Gallup found that Americans' partisan preferences were relatively stable when looking at the entire year 2021. But when the year was broken down into quarters, there was a discernible shift. In the first quarter of 2021, Democrats had a 9-point advantage over Republicans, but by the final quarter of the year that had shifted sharply to a 5-point Republican advantage, according to Gallup's aggregate data.
Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course.
Mostly cloudy and 16 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a south breeze at 7 mph. . There are 5 inches of snow on the ground. ๏ธThings will start to thaw out at around 11 am.
It looks like we will get a break from the cold today, so I turned down the heat. Iโll probably want it back up tomorrow or certainly Friday but itโs going to be 38 later so best to give it a break. I wasnโt happy with my electric bill last month, so Iโm trying to keep the heat down on warmer days. Iโve tried to plug air leaks in my apartment anyway I can but itโs just falling apart โ energy prices are going up. I canโt wait until I own my own land and can heat with wood.
Got to bed early last night at little after eight and my evening walk . I was up around 5:30 this morning, had an early breakfast and soon Iโll iron my shirt and shower . Taking the local in as itโs a dress up day for work. Tomorrow is my teeth cleaning before work.
Ordered my taxpayer funded Biden Care Test Kit yesterday, and Iโll believe it when it arrives although i figure it probably wonโt work or when it comes it will be after the pandemic is over. But it was free and itโs paper and plastic, and if it doesnโt work out it will be a good fire starter. I figure itโs good to have an expired test kit handy for next winter to see if I have the COVID and need to go to an official testing site so I can charge against pandemic leave, assuming such things exist next year.
Yesterday was pay day and itโs nice making the big bucks until it goes out the door the next day. I tell you with the prices of everything these days, money just doesnโt last long. But then again I keep trying to save and invest money so some day I can own my own land, have that hobby farm, off grid property etc.
Now that Iโm making decent money โ if I consider unrealized investment gains and dividends โ itโs well over six digits each year its finally a chance to get ahead financially. Some people want a fancy house, Iโd rather have a rundown, simple place with lots of acerage where I can have fires, livestock, shoot guns and ride four wheelers.
