Good morning! Happy Thursday. Mostly clear and 25 degrees 🌃 at the in Delmar, NY for morning walk. There is a northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. There are 4 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at around 10 am. 🌡️

Out for the morning walk 🚶 before sunrise at 6:25. But already it’s not super dark or cold. At least in the evening there was some light for the walk then. I didn’t get out walking last night until 7:15 pm because session dragged a little beyond 5 pm and I ended up catching the local home at 5:45. But there was still daylight. Cold ❄ day yesterday with the wind but already this morning is much nicer. Ton of black ice on the sidewalks this morning, caught myself a few times starting to fall. Last night wasn’t so bad.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 45 degrees at 5pm. Seems warm and nice. Just typical for today. West wind 7 to 9 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 60 degrees. The record high of 82 was set in 1990. 13.4 inches of snow fell back in 1956.❄

While there is quite a bit of snow around ☺ it should be a good day. Probably won’t be able to go to the park this evening but I’m hoping to get out walking 🚶 in the daylight hours. Session day 🕴️but a get away day so hopefully they’ll bang through the budget reso and I’ll be able to take the express home. Then a quick dinner – I have several options I’ve frozen over the past few weeks. 🍲 I actually did a small bowl of pasta last night because I wanted to finish off the open container of pasta sauce that was getting old and I didn’t want to go bad.

On the bus ride home I overheard somebody say one of my clients had passed 👥, I was thinking not another one as I think half of my clients have come and gone over the years. He was one of the good ones not that I necessarily agree with his politics but he’s good for his district. The thing about it, it’s not true. 🤥The Republican who was talking had no idea what she was talking about. The buses 🚍 are good place to hear rumors in Albany but not all of them are true. 💭

Cool this weekend with temperatures running 9 degrees below normal but otherwise sunny. 😃 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 41. West wind 10 to 13 mph. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 33. Breezy. Typical average high for the weekend is 46 degrees.
