Downtown Albany is the Central Business District in the City of Albany. Or as the Downtown Albany Bid describes it …
“Exciting Entertainment. World-Class Dining. Exquisite Art and Culture. Urban Residential. Whether you work or live in New York’s Capital District or are lucky enough to make a visit, downtown Albany offers the unique opportunity to explore a city rich in history, framed by nearby mountains and over 400 years in architecture.”
There are a lot of jobs downtown, and decent public transit. You have to go there on the weekdays to make a buck or two.
Good evening. Currently overcast and 29 degrees in Albany. Tonight will be mostly cloudy, with a low around 25. Light and variable wind.
Tonight we have a waxing crescent moon, setting at 10:22 pm. Not sure if you will see much of the moon with the clouds. Friday will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 41. Calm wind becoming southeast around 5 mph in the morning. The warmer weather will be nice.
I left my truck at the Delaware Avenue Park and Ride so I’m taking the local Delaware Ave bus out to Delmar which is crawling along in traffic . It’s rush hour. I actually prefer sometime working late then taking the congested local home.
It’s been a long week, but I’m glad that Friday is tomorrow. Really looking forward to the long weekend and getting out of town. And I’m just glad every day we are getting closer to spring.
Besides camping, there is few things I like better than going down to the park with a good book and sitting on the hill overlooking the ice skating rink. Evenings in the 70s and the sun setting after 7 PM can’t be that far away. I also look forward to weekends spent up at the Potholers and Piseco Powley Road.
Good evening on this Make Your Dreams Come True Day. Currently a few clouds and 21 degrees in Albany. Tonight will be mostly cloudy, with a low around 15. West wind 5 to 9 mph becoming south after midnight.
Tonight we have a waxing crescent moon, setting at 9:22 pm. A good thing to wish on, as it’s a pretty clear night tonight. Thursday will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 30. South wind around 7 mph.
Everything is kind of a large salt bucket outside with road salt being dumped on the roads and sidewalk. Road salt isn’t just on the cars but it gets on your clothes and is tracked into buildings. The winters are really a disgusting thing here in New York.
Today was a busy day at work. But I kept things moving along and now I’m on the way home. Old Delaware Ave hasn’t changed much in years. January is still a pretty awful harsh month. But we are heading towards spring, and the harshness of winter in New York State can’t last forever.
Good evening. Currently light snow is falling down and 29 degrees in Albany. Treated surfaces are just wet but sidewalks are slick. Use care while driving as some surfaces may be slick.
Tonight we have a waxing crescent moon, setting at 8:21 pm. Tonight will have snow showers before 9pm, then snow likely between 9pm and 1am. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 22. Breezy, with a southwest wind 6 to 11 mph becoming west 15 to 20 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. Three to five inches expected in the Adirondacks, more in lake effect country.
Traffic is moving slowly out of the city but it looks like the driver is going up McCarthy Hill which should save some time. Rush hour, there’s traffic. I’m not in that much of a rush to get home.
A pretty ordinary Tuesday and reasonably busy. Tomorrow will be busier, especially with the crowds from the State of the State in the Empire State Plaza. But we are getting closer to the weekend. Still looking forward to heading up to the Adirondacks for the long weekend , assuming that the forecast remains reasonable.
The president’s final State of the Nation Address is tonight. It might be interesting to hear what he has to say. It will be his last address. It seems like only yesterday he was running for president. Still I didn’t mind time is going by quickly. It will be good to have a fresh face in the White House and new ideas in our country.
Good morning. Fourteen degrees and sunny this morning. Everything is kind of a salt covered with the recent cold weather. The weekend looks like it will wash away most of the salt, although it will be icy on Friday evening.
Off to work on this Thursday. Things for the most part are going well. No great sour cream spills today and my replacement headphones are working fine. English muffins and bananas for breakfast.
Big Red has been working good, starting and charging properly. Gotten kind of salt covered, I may wash it off this weekend, probably on Sunday.
I ordered a sweater on the Internet and I didn’t really like it. I went to the mall to buy dress shoes on Tuesday and also saw a sweater I liked. My sweater vests and sweaters are starting to wear out so I need to figure out what I like and come up with a plan for eventual replacement.
The weekend like pretty rainy but I have a lot of work to catch up on so I may head into the office for a bit. We will see. At some point I got to do an oil change but maybe not this weekend.
Good morning. Currently 22 degrees and clear. Thursday and Friday will be about 40 degrees with more bright sunshine, but rain comes in for the weekend. Mild and warm for the weekend though.
It was a rough morning. Spilled sour cream all over my carpet, tripping on and breaking my headphones. Ripped off an ear-bud. At least I was still in jeans and t-shirt from last night, so it mostly was scrubbing the sour cream off the carpet. Which meant I was running late. Drove down to Hannaford hoping to pick up some headphones, but they didn’t have any. Didn’t have the time to stop at Radio Shack. I picked up some once I got back. But I missed having headphones at work and on the bus.
The day at work was good but busy. It went by quickly. I had dinner and with the cold weather decided not to go for my evening walk. So be it.
Good evening. Clear and quite pleasant out with bright stars if you don’t mind the fact it’s only 10 degrees. Regardless a warming trend heads into the weekend with ample sun and 33 degrees tomorrow. Sunrise at 7:25 AM.
