In Four Weeks …

In four weeks on December 12 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (239°) at 4:23 pm,πŸŒ„ which is 11 minutes and 37 seconds earlier then today. In 2021 on that day, we had sunny, snow showers and temperatures between 46 and 35 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 39 and 24 degrees. The record high of 62 degrees was set back in 1979.

Crisis pregnancy centers offer support and alternatives usually to poor women seeking abortions where such services are not available. They actively discourage women, in general, from getting abortions and are often religiously affiliated.

While this is a copyrighted dataset, I think the public educational value of showing this data aggregated exceeds any restrictions they may have on the easily downloaded dataset that can also be gleamed largely from Open Street Map and phone books. 

Weather Update – November 14, 2022

Wintery mix come Wednesday morning 🌨

Going to need the heat on starting tonight. I won’t turn it up much but I don’t want things to get cold. And go shopping πŸ›’ tonight before the salt spreaders are out tomorrow. It’s been a good run – today is the first day I’ve worn a sweater to work – but winter had to come eventually.

Next week is the first weekend of rifle season in the southern zone, so I’ll probably stay in town as I’m not planning to hunt this year. 🦌 But I’ve heard it might warm up after Thanksgiving so I might take a long weekend then. But I’m not sure if I will take days off if I’m just home, especially if it’s cold and I need to use my heat.

Daily Update – November 14, 2022

Good morning! Happy Monday.

It’s cold. I fully expect tonight I’m going to have to turn on the central heat and run to the grocery store before the salt spreaders are out on Tuesday.

Mostly sunny and 31 degrees in Delmar, NY. β˜€ There is a northwest breeze at 7 mph. πŸƒ. Things will start to thaw out at around 7 am. 🌑️

Out walking at 6:30 this morning. πŸŒ… Cold start to the morning, my hands πŸ‘ feel the sting of the cold but at warming up. I still wanted to get out early, as I’d much rather walk in Delmar then Albany, and plus I get more steps in early, then if I don’t get out for the evening walk because it’s cold or I’m busy, I still have my steps in for the day.

I would like to get to the store 🏬 tonight before the ice ❄ and road salt tomorrow. I don’t need groceries yet but the things I will buy should last a few weeks especially if unopened. I buy a lot of frozen things as it minimizes the amount of waste πŸ—‘ I produce especially with rates going up at the transfer station β™» and not having as many fires πŸ”₯ in the winter time for burnables. Past few milk and juice bottles, I’ve been washing them out for recycling. Tomorrow is after all, National Recycling Day. But also, I need to pack a lunch every day for work, as the days of free lunches at work during the fall have come and gone.

I finally got to turn on the heat tonight I’m afraid. 🌑 It looks like it will be in the lower 20s by morning, and that’s both too cold for both the pipes and my comfort. While I’m happy if my apartment is above 50 degrees, with the cold I’m sure it won’t last too long, though at this point I’ll probably keep my heat at the lowest setting until the real cold comes. If I’m cold I have my heated blanket out and that little space heater, which I run only about 20 hours a winter, mostly to warm up my hands.

I am thinking probably this weekend I will stay in town, 🏘 but maybe after Thanksgiving on Black Friday through early the next week head out of town. Maybe out to the Adirondacks. β›° A lot depends on the weather, how much snow is up north, and how cold and cloudy ☁️ it may be. Winter can pose a problem for heading up north, and while it’s been late, they may get several inches of snow, depending on where you are in the Adirondacks. Plus many of the campsites may already be taken by hunters.

Once winter comes and rifle season is done, I’ll probably do skiing at Rensselaerville State Forest. 🎿 It’s close to home, and that road is open year around, so if I bring a shovel I can certainly camp there and ski on winter weekends when it’s not too cold out.
