Geopandas! 🗺

Teaching myself about the Geopandas library. Not because I’m interested in the plotting capacities but it sure would be nice to have a fast “geocoder” that could join point data to other shapefiles I have like counties, municipalities, Assembly districts, etc. without using QGIS.

For example, I can feed the state’s address management geocoder up to 1,000 addresses and it will spit back a list of coordinates. In theory quite easily I could take those coordinates, spatially join them with Geopandas and add a column with the Assembly district and municipality – all without loading the shapefile or plotting a map or doing scripting within QGIS.

In Four Weeks …

In four weeks on August 15 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (290°) at 7:57 pm,🌄 which is 32 minutes and 12 seconds earlier then today. In 2020 on that day, we had partly sunny and temperatures between 82 and 60 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 82 and 61 degrees. The record high of 96 degrees was set back in 1959.

Good evening on this rather rainy Sunday evening! 🌧

Rain and around 68 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌧 There is a north-northwest breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 66 degrees. 0.91 inches of rain is expected before it ends tomorrow around 7 pm.

It seems like the rain never stops. 🍔 Had a nice Sunday evening, and I’m heading home shortly. I want to get home before it starts to get too dark out, especially as I have a 8:45 AM dentist appoint in the morning. 😀
