Weather Update – February 26, 2022

Looks like today will be fairly cold but warming up ๐ŸŒž

The sun angle is relatively strong this time of year, so I don’t think it will remain cold for most of the day. Plus not too windy. Even the night shouldn’t be too bad, maybe a bit cold but it’s no longer January. Sunday look like the nicer of the two days, especially if I get out relatively early. I would like to do some skiing on Sunday.

Good Morning – February 26, 2022

Good morning! Happy Saturday. The weekend after the snowstorm ๐Ÿงค

After all the hype about Friday’s snow storm, we got like half a foot of snow, and by afternoon the roads were just salty and wet. I worked from home, and truth be told I haven’t been outside since Thursday, but it’s already rapidly fading away. With temperature above freezing most of the coming week I don’t expect much of it to last.

Mostly sunny and 6 degrees in Delmar, NY.  ๐ŸŒค Calm wind. There are 6 inches of snow on the ground. โ˜ƒ ๏ธThings will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 10 am. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ

Yesterday was the much hyped snow storm, ๐ŸŒจ that was more like whatever. I worked from home, so I guess I can’t have that much of an opinion, staying safely inside from the weather. If that hadn’t closed the Albany offices, I probably would have gone in even if other people worked remotely. ๐Ÿ‘จ‍๐Ÿ’ป I just don’t like using too much bandwidth with my hotspot which only provides 5 gigs a month, with the ordinary $45 plan that I have. ๐Ÿ“ฑ

In the end, I’ve learned how to disable images in Firefox and other ways to save bandwidth, ๐Ÿ”Œ and do a lot of things on my phone, so I didn’t use much data. ๐Ÿง Plus the offices were officially closed, so it was a pretty quiet day at work outside of the ordinary Friday business. ๐Ÿข But I like my office, especially now that I have that swanky private, corner office with the brass lamp. ๐Ÿ›‹ No sofa, but several comfortable chairs for those wanting to visit.

I do need to go outside and clean off my truck, ๐Ÿ›ป which I’ve been avoiding doing as my snow shovel is broken. Fortunately though we didn’t get too much snow. โ„๏ธ I can probably brush it off my truck. ๐Ÿงน I should get a new shovel — the one I have now for 12 years is trash — it cracked and then the handle broke, but I hate buying new stuff. ๐ŸŽI will need one though if we get more snow, or I decide to go camping. As much as I hate to say, I do need to go to the transfer station to get rid of a lot of accumulated crap ๐Ÿ—‘ — no way in hell am I going to burn a plastic snow shovel in woods. ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿ‘ƒ Maybe if I had acreage and a big pile of brush to burn, I’d feel differently.

I need to finish up my GIS class map ๐Ÿ—บ and make one more as I am supposed to submit two different maps with different features. It’s kind of fun, I learn new skills every week even if a lot of things are very basic.

I also want to try to get that bulb in my truck tail light. ๐Ÿ’ก It was kind of cool I found the bulb I need in my drawer. It seems like it will work.

Then maybe I’ll go down to Five Rivers. ๐Ÿฆ I don’t feel like driving so I won’t bring my skis, only hike out and there do some of the road hikes. I wonder how many birds I’ll see? They’lll probably be quite active after the cold and snow of yesterday. Sometimes I just like walking out to Five Rivers and watching nature. Then maybe Meads Lane to take in the scenic views and look at the cows. ๐Ÿฎ
