Elm Ave Park and Ride

Good evening! As they say, stick a fork into calendar winter, it’s done. Partly clear and 31 degrees for the evening walk in Delmar. 🌃 Breezy, ️16 mph breeze from the west-northwest 🌬 . The current wind chill is 20. At least in less protected areas the snow is done at least for now. ️Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 9 am. 🌡️

Out for the evening walk 🚶 which will get me up to a little over 12 miles for the day and 22 for the weekend. That’s good I guess. It was tough tromping through the snow in the Pine Bush yesterday though by today who knows how much is left.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 22 degrees at 5am. Five degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 4th.

It got down to 40 degrees. The record low of 2 occurred back in 1967.

Washed my truck and stocked up my pantry for the week. Continuing to buy and eat healthier, 🍏 especially working to cut out processed foods and sugars. I actually bought two pounds of non organic tofu, something I’m a bit horrified about but I’m really looking to lower cost, healthy meats and substitutes. I’d love to work more rabbit into my diet but it’s an expensive boutique meat in America unless you hunt or raise them because adult children in America think they’re cute not dinner. Got some wild salmon too, and lots of spices to add to various foods boost flavor.

The snow storm 🌨 that was yesterday is pretty much just as memory as the snow melts away. At least in the city, I bet it will be gone tomorrow. Just the mud left. Maybe we will get more rain or snow later in the week but I don’t think it will last. I think we are passed that based on the statistics but I know there are always outliers.

The dire emergency snowstorm really wasn’t a big deal 🌲though some tree branches came down though I don’t think many people lost power 🔌 but what do I know, I don’t really listen to the radio 📻 much for the news 📰. That said, I’ve been updating my music 🎶 collection and now I’ve moved on to the seventies with getting a John Prine record 💿 to add to my collection. Much more up to date than the Weavers.

Spent a lot of my weekend studying machine learning 🤖 and statistics and calculating. For too long I’ve struggled to fully understand Kriging in R but it finally clicked today. 🖥 Kriging is a method of predicting data on a map from known points.

Earlier this evening I washed off Big Red 🧽 🛻 and went to Walmart and got food and supplies. 🍏 I went there after visiting my folks out in Westerlo for lunch, and heading out there, US 9W was closed, and was detoured through Selkirk. So I ended up sitting down by the river in my truck for about a half hour at the Henry Hudson Park. 🐦 I haven’t been there in a long time, I used to go fishing down there 🎣 but with higher gas prices and everything else, not so much these days.
