Good evening! Rain showers and 35 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a south breeze at 13 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 6 pm. ☃️

I am feeling a lot better tonight 🚶🏻 and went for my evening walk. Cold and a bit of a drizzle outside but I was glad to be out of my apartment for a while. Sore throat is almost entirely gone but still a bit congested. Since I got back home the rain has picked up a bit.💦

It looks like with the pandemic getting worse 👾I’ll be working from home all next month but the Hotspot on my phone works quite well and I’m finding I’m using a lot less data than I expected but I’m careful. But at least it will be warmer than working down at the library parking lot. Definitely been an odd but I would argue fun year.

Been working on some new maps 🗺 and content to take advantage of leafletjs. I figure if it’s free to use I might as well maximize the technology. You can do some very cool and interactive maps with leaflet.

I think I’m going to head up to the Adirondacks tomorrow ⛺ through at least New Years Day and maybe the weekend. I was on the fence with the forecast and feeling so sick earlier in the week but I think things are looking up for the final night of the year. It would be fun to get out night 63 camping this year. I’m trying to purposely stay up a bit late tonight to make the NYE a bit easier.
