Good evening! Cloudy and 38 degrees on this Tuesday evening for the walk. There is a west-northwest breeze at 14 mph. . They were talking about rain but I haven’t gotten wet yet. Did rain a bit earlier looking out my office window.
It was a busy day at work followed by a busy day of projects at home. But I managed to get in more than 17k steps today. You get the steps in early then there are more opportunities to get steps in later in the day.
Tonight will have a slight chance of rain showers, mixing with snow after 9pm, then gradually ending. Partly cloudy , with a low of 29llgl degrees at 6am. 10 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 24th. West wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2022, we had clear skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 19 degrees. The record low of -08 occurred back in 1963.
I was surprised to open my mail and see the State Board of Elections sent me the Albany County Voter File on a DVD . Didn’t charge for it either. I had assumed that it would be a drop box link to download. Of course it’s a bit of a problem as my computer no longer had a DVD player installed as my other hard drive is there. I didn’t know people used DVDs with bandwidth being so cheap. I feel silly for only requesting just the county file and not the state. But I only really plan to model on county data and help local candidates this year. Next year I’ll get the state file.
Tonight will have a Waxing Crescent Moon with 4% illuminated. The Worm Moon is on Tuesday, March 7.

Working on another mapping project for another local environment group. This is kind of a fun project looking at potential routes for a bike trail. It’s a little different than another one I’m doing with calculating distance of houses from a local hazardous waste site. Government databases and some statistical programming has gotten so powerful in recent years.
Tomorrow will have a chance of rain, mainly after 4pm. Increasing clouds , with a high of 41 degrees at 12pm. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 3rd. Northwest wind 5 to 9 mph becoming southeast in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible.

The record high of 68 was set in 1997. 14.8 inches of snow fell back in 1893.
This week marks a week until spring though I’m sure it will get cold before then. But who knows it’s been a mild winter. Based on past experiences I don’t think it will get particularly warm out until about two months out from now.
In four weeks on March 21 the sun will be setting in the west (271°) at 7:09 pm (Daylight Savings Time), which is one hour, 33 minutes and 46 seconds later then tonight.

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Partly clear and 28 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. Things will start to thaw out at around 9 am.
This morning is a struggle to get going but I’m rolling along out for my morning walk . The forecast and everything else is going to make getting the steps in a bit of a challenge each day but I’m moving and will do my best. Always can take an earlier express bus in and do the Concourse if needed.
Not a pay week and quiet walking past the high school as the schools are on February break. But I would not say it’s February break in the office , we are quite busy despite being casual dress. I need my coffee just like an addict this morning after cutting back so much in recent weeks to save money and improve health. I kind of fell off the wagon in all ways possible this weekend up in Madison County.
