Bradt Hollow Road is plowed through the winter at Partridge Run to allow access by farms that our located on the backroads from Partridge Run. While it is plowed and lightly sanded, with cold conditions, it was ice packed, requiring due care while driving.

Good morning on this rather sloppy Friday here in Delmar! 🌧️ Not a lot of snow or ice locally but a ton of slush. 33 degrees and rain.
Out for the morning walk and it’s pretty wet. ☔ But it’s not pouring out and my boots 👢 are waterproof. Not at all icy locally. Sloppy though.
Looking at a high of 40 degrees around 2 pm with the rain tapering off as the day progresses. Some sleet and snow 🌨 could mix in throughout the day but if anything it will just make more slop rather than freeze up with well a salted areas just wet.
I tell you, I am sure glad I’ve been wearing my muzzle. 👩⚕️Everybody lately has been getting sick around this place, but so far I’ve been good. I also try to be better at hand washing 👏 and avoiding too many crowded places. Getting sick certainly doesn’t seem fun, especially how healthy I’ve been since the start of the pandemic. I don’t get why people don’t want to get vaccinated or stay healthy.
Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:07 pm with sun having an altitude of 27.2° from the due south horizon (-43.6° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 11.7 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 4:10 pm with the sun in the southwest (236°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-southwest (243°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:53 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 16 seconds with dusk around 5:23 pm, which is one minute and 14 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 5:59 pm. At sunset, look for skies and temperatures around degrees. There will be a calm wind. Today will have 9 hours and 36 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 52 seconds over yesterday.
I wanted to take the express bus in this morning, 🚌 but that was not to be due to me leaving my laptop at home. So I had to turn around and get my laptop and there wasn’t time to catch anything but the local to work. 🚏 It got me there regardless. Not an electric bus this week. 🔌 Probably for the best, it wouldn’t have been a pleasant walk down to the express bus today. Haven’t used the express bus much this week, because of the weather and session days.
Things will clear out 🌃 as the night progresses, and freeze will occur around six pm, which could really ice up the sidewalks and untreated surfaces. Looking at a low of 28 degrees by 5 AM, prior to daybreak then warming up to the mid-30s by Saturday with clearing skies.
Tomorrow I’m thinking of walking out to Five Rivers 🐸 probably in the afternoon but it depends on the weather. The trails might be sloppy after all of the rain and slush, though I could just walk out there to watch the birds 🐦 and get my steps in via Mead’s Lane. 👣 Always a nice winter walk out that way.
Looking ahead, there are 3 weeks until Clean Your Computer Day 🧹 when the sun will be setting at 5:21 pm with dusk at 5:49 pm. On that day in 2022, we had partly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 25 and 12 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 35 degrees. We hit a record high of 53 back in 1955.
