Good morning! Happy Northern Zone Regular Season 🦌! Six weeks to Small Business Saturday 🛍️. Sunny and 45 degrees at the Albany Pine Bush Preserve. 🌞 There is a northwest breeze at 6 mph. 🍃.

This morning was the Save the Pine Bush hike 🍁🍂 which was absolutely beautiful along Rapp Road in the historic district. After the hike I went for a walk in the preserve and shortly I’m heading up to Troy to canvas for David Bissember. Really nice day to be outside. If I wasn’t house sitting 🐶🐔🙀 for the parents and I didn’t have the Pine Bush hike I’d probably have headed out of town… Maybe next weekend I’ll take a long weekend, gotta lol to see how much more vacation time I have to use before the end of the year and my work load. 💼

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 55 degrees at 3pm. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 28th. Northwest wind around 6 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 60 degrees. The record high of 79 was set in 1963. There was a dusting of snow in 1992.❄

The sun will set at 6:07 pm with dusk around 6:36 pm, which is one minute and 35 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 51 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Today will have 10 hours and 54 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 47 seconds over yesterday.

Had a nice but little fire 🔥 camping out back last night. I had to keep the fire small as I was using my parents fire pit and they’re neighborhood is increasingly built up and there is more and more restrictions these days in open burning. None of the wild ass fires I have up in the wilderness where anything that burns get burnt. Maybe next weekend do some real camping. 😴 Stayed up drinking 🍻 too late last night so I was a bit drousy and hung over going to the Pine Bush hike but it still was nice. 🚶

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 36 degrees at 4am. Two degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 27th. Calm wind. In 2018, we had cloudy skies in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 46 degrees. The record low of 18 occurred back in 1972.

Looking ahead, there are 6 weeks until Small Business Saturday 🛍️ when the sun will be setting at 4:23 pm with dusk at 4:54 pm (Standard Time). On that day in 2018, we had mostly sunny, rain showers and temperatures between 45 and 18 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 42 degrees. We hit a record high of 67 back in 1933.
