Elm Ave Park and Ride

Time Marches On

|

A few days back was the earliest sunset of the year. The sun angle is low this time of year, even by two o’clock in the woods it feels like it’s getting dark out. The shadows hang long, especially on a cloud free day like it was.

Starting now, the evenings are starting to get brighter but not by much at first. The mornings are still getting darker, they won’t gain daylight until early January. Eventually the snow will arrive, we will have real cold weather. But like everything, it’s just a stage that will pass.

Daily Update – November 16, 2022

Good morning! What day is it? GIS Day, of course. 🗺

While I wasn’t planning on it this rainy, sloppy morning I decided to walk down to the express bus as it wasn’t raining that hard.

Rain and 34 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. ☔ There is a northwest breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. There is a inch of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 9 pm. ☃️

It snowed for a while last night before turning to rain. 🌨 Kind of just a sloppy mix. Probably the snow will be completely gone by afternoon. But no ice locally though last night the driveway was a bit slippery.

Went down to the library 📚 mostly to return books but also because I had my laptop 🖥 home and figured it would be a good walk down to the library.

It’s GIS Day so I guess I’ll have to think of some creative ideas on maps to make up. 🗺 I am sure there are things I can come up with pretty easily using a few lines of R code. Or maybe I’ll actually open up QGIS and make something real purty. For a while I was doing the #30DayMapChallenge but it became too much work.

Rain ☔ this weekend

I am disappointed as it was going to be a long weekend and I thought it would be a nice weekend to head out to Cazenovia before riffle season. ⛺ Maybe in December I’ll do that trip or maybe just the horse 🐴 camp in Brookfield. Or the Adirondacks 🗻 after Thanksgiving. 🦃
