Sun today and then cold rain later in evening into tomorrow. 🌦
It’s like we get everything this week, although maybe not the snow of the higher elevations. Windows are open today, to dry out my clothes, but I will need to close them by evening. Still mild enough locally I don’t think it will screw up the green up much. I was noticing last night walking at 8 PM that there was still some daylight out, which was nice.

I have today off and could have stayed in bed 🛏 but I was up and going and decided to head into the office. 🏢 I figured that way it would be easier to get my steps in and it’s not a real nice day.
Sunny and 34 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. 🌞 Calm wind.
Maybe I should have taken today off, it’s a nice morning 😎 but I don’t know how long the sun will last. And I would rather use the day off some point in the future for a real long-weekend in the Adirondacks. While I can’t head out of town next week due to that family obligation, I am really hoping to take off April 29th, although that might be difficult depending on the work load. It might be a very busy time around the office.
Last night I walked up Blodgett Hill, 🚶♀️ which was legally closed due to the trail being used for logging equipment, 🌲 but I figured it didn’t matter as nobody would be logging at 7 PM on Easter Sunday. Saw a Great Blue Heron up there and a Hermit Thrush I think in the bush and a Robin. Looks like they are doing some clearing of White Pine near the Pitch Pine and on the more densely part on the other side of the hill.
Always a nice hike, good vigorous climb 💪 to the top but not that difficult with the road they built to allow for controlled burns. Maybe more views when they get done with the cut on the other side, did not fully explore it over there as I figured it would be a mess with the recent tree cutting, and time was a bit tight with the setting sun. 🌆
In four weeks on April 22 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (288°) at 7:46 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 59 seconds later then today.

The record high of 86 degrees was set back in 1985.
Fog 🌫 this morning, maybe some sun ☀ the clouds and ultimately rain ☔ for the weekend
It seems like a broken record for the weekends lately but I guess it’s still March and not snowing 🌨. Did you see how cold Monday will be? That will certainly get the salt spreaders back out. But then back to the 50s and 60s later in the week at least during the day.

Partly cloudy and 40 degrees at the Elm Ave Park andRide. 🌥 Sun is starting to peak out a bit. Fog 🌫 around, especially in the city. There is a west breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Sunday around 7 pm. ☃️
I still haven’t turned the heat back on but I see the forecast for Monday with a high of 27, ♨ so I know what that means. I think it will be in the teens by morning. That said, later next week ☀ sun in temperatures in the fifties and sixties.
While yesterday was quite dreary ☔, I did manage to get in 13,000 steps between the before work walk 🚶 in the drizzle and an evening walk down at the park, doing lapses along the Nature Trail along the Phillipen Kill. 🦌 Saw several white tail and heard Nut Hatches I think 🐦 and certainly by the time I was heading back home I heard the spring peepers 🐸 quite happy with the somewhat mild conditions and the rain. No bats 🦇 around last night, too cold.
Got milk 🐮 before bed 🛏 and retired to my bed around eight 8⃣. Not sure if when the evenings get longer if I will stay up later, probably though especially when it’s hot inside and starry ✨ and relatively nice out back. There is no reason why I need to get up at five in the morning in the summer although it might be cooler out then for a morning walk before work.
One of the people we were interviewing yesterday listed R Studio 📊 as one of his skills on his resume. Apparently it’s a big thing in colleges these days, which is kind of neat 🎓 as I find it’s a very useful tool for analyzing data and making maps and graphs. 🗺 Well you know, I use it nearly every day to create blog content. For Census data and thematic maps and graphs its a wonderful tool. PANDAS and Python also gets a lot of use in college these days. I kind of wish I was younger and could have learned about such things in school.
I’m glad tomorrow is the weekend 😁 because it’s been a long weekend. Four day session days and while only one day I stayed late the endless Zoom meetings 📹 and interviews were tiresome. You want to do other things during Zoom but then they yell Ferris Buehler. 🎡 I should get a dress shirt or two tomorrow but I kind of don’t want to spend money on gas ⛽ and it might rain for walking in the Pine Bush. 🦋
Have you ever wondered how much money you need to make per year to crack the top 1% of earners in your state?
You might already make the cut in West Virginia if you have an annual income over $350,000, for instance. Other states have much higher thresholds to reach the top 1%. In Connecticut, you need to earn nearly $900,000.
In four weeks on April 8 the sun will be setting in the west (281°) at 7:30 pm (Daylight Savings Time),🌄 which is one hour, 32 minutes and 18 seconds later then today.
