Balsam Swamp is a sprawling state forest that stretches almost 5.5 miles east-west across 4 towns. The area is very rural, and the landscape surrounding the State Forest is predominantly forested. Balsam Swamp State Forest is comprised of a mix of native hardwood forests, hemlock swamps, and conifer plantations. There are no designated recreational trails on the forest, but there is ample opportunity for self-guided day hikes to explore the diversity of habitats represented on this State Forest. Additionally, the western section of Balsam Swamp State Forest is adjacent to Five Streams State Forest to the south.
The main attraction of this forest is Balsam Pond. The impoundment is approximately 152 acres and is a popular destination for fishing and paddle boat sports. Balsam Pond is a warm water fishery that contains a mix of largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, yellow perch, brown bullhead and sunfish. Tiger muskellunge have been stocked in the past with the last stocking occurring in 1995. However, there have been very few reports of anglers catching any of the adult tiger muskies. A shallow gravel boat launch is suitable for launching small fishing boats.
A small rustic camp ground is also located at Balsam Pond. Camping spaces are available at no cost on a first-come, first-serve basis and there is no running water or electricity. A fire ring, outhouse, and picnic table are provided for each camping space. A sign on Balsam-Tyler Road in Pharsalia designates the entrance to the boat launch and camping facility. This is a carry-in carry-out facility. Please do not litter.
Good morning! Happy Valentines Day. โฅ Finally warm and bright enough to walk at 6:15. I think it’s the first time in months. But the days are getting longer. It’s a nice dawn, with a declining half ๐ moon above. Not sure if it will be the best sunrise ever though due to the clouds in the east.
Mostly cloudy and 37 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ Breezy, ๏ธ18 mph breeze from the northwest ๐ฌ with gusts up to 28 mph ๐จ๐จ๐จ. But it’s a fairly warm breeze by February standards. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Friday around 3 pm. โ๏ธ
It’s nice to get out early, it tends to better equalize the time in the morning ๐ฅ to have breakfast and get my clothes ironed before work and shower ๐ฟ. Having a single pool of time โ just means if one step runs longer I don’t fall behind on my SC especially as the express leaves about 15 minutes before the local.
Today will be mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny โ, with a high of 47 degrees at 2pm. 11 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 20th. Northwest wind 13 to 18 mph decreasing to 7 to 12 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 28 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 28 degrees. The record high of 63 was set in 1946. 23.5 inches of snow fell back in 1914.โ
Going to be a nice day, something like the first day of calendar spring. ๐ท But then again that’s only a month away and it’s been quite mild. Too much sunlight in the morning means I have to draw the shades but later in the afternoon the sun is nice. Not sure if I’ll get out at five to take the express home but so be it.
Solar noon ๐ is at 12:11 pm with sun having an altitude of 34.3ยฐ from the due south horizon (-36.5ยฐ vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 8.8 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour ๐ starts at 4:46 pm with the sun in the west-southwest (246ยฐ). ๐ธ

Today is pay day which is nice ๐ต as I think my credit card bill is due soon ๐ณ and it’s been higher with inflation and the many trips that I made this year. Probably also need to start saving for my tax bill and car insurance ๐ which will be another chunk of change. But it looks like until Friday my heat will be off which is good.
Tonight will have increasing clouds โ, with a low of 32 degrees at 11pm. 14 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 2nd.

Fairly mild but maybe cloudy โ for the second half of the weekend. I guess it would be kind of nice to get out of town this weekend. โบ There isn’t a lot of snow outside of the Adirondacks so trails might be muddy especially after Thursdays rain.
As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Average High is 40 โ๏ธ when the sun will be setting at 5:44 pm with dusk at 6:11 pm.

Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 45 degrees in Delmar for the evening walk. โ๏ธ Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 10 pm. โ๏ธ
Can you believe Monday is already done? โ Last week seemed to also go by in a flash. It seems like life is going by so quickly these days but maybe that’s intentional on my part. I put a lot of things into auto pilot โ as if you make good habits happen they compound.
Tonight will be mostly cloudy โ๏ธ, with a low of 33 degrees at 5am. 16 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 5th.

It was nice taking the express bus ๐ both ways to work today on a session dress up day. That said the morning bus was running late and then the ramp getting onto 787 was closed due to construction. But it beats taking the local. As planned I got off at the Plaza to get a few extra steps in.

The weather for tomorrow looks decent. โ Too bad I’ll be in my office all day but I enjoy the sunshine and the natural light. Days are long enough these days I don’t need my desk lamp at all on sunny days when I get out by five 5โฃ which is nice.
In four weeks on March 13 the sun will be setting in the west (267ยฐ) at 7:00 pm (Daylight Savings Time),๐ which is one hour, 34 minutes and 43 seconds later then tonight.

I heard something about a football ๐ game on the radio ๐ป this morning while listening to the BBC report on climate change and the ocean ๐ which I found more interesting. Then I got up, reheated the coffee and pancakes ๐ฅ. Saves so much time. I have actually no idea how long the game went on, but Walmart wasn’t crowded last night at 6 PM and I was in bed by 9 PM.
Great morning for the walk. ๐ถ Lots of fresh crisp air with a slight taste of barnyard ๐ฎ on it. No sunrise yet but it’s coming. Mostly clear skies which is nice. Shower ๐ฟ and catch the express at 8:15 right from by home which is great. I will probably get off at the Plaza and walk over to the SOB where I work for some extra steps though I don’t have to if it looks like there is a lot of protestors at the Plaza. ๐ฃ Tomorrow I might do my walk at 6:15 rather than a as there is quite a bit of daylight now in the morning. Then so breakfast second.

I’ve decided as part of my calorie reduction program ๐ to focus on eating a minimum of 2-3 lb of fruits and vegetables a day. I’ve noticed already that with a more stable blood sugar levels and a full stomach that does more reduce calories than anything else. You look at the calories labels and you really can’t eat enough fruits and vegetables to get fat off them. ๐คฐ๐ผ Plus eating fruits and vegetables is far more fun than saying no, no matter what the puritans tell you. I am restocking the fruit bowl ๐ today.

A picture perfect weekend on tap. ๐ Saturday, sunny, with a high near 39. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 47. Typical average high for the weekend is 37 degrees.
Now the question ๐ for the weekend is where to go. I know many people would like me to go to hell but I already live and work there so I’m thinking more likely Schoharie or Madison County would be good. The horse ๐ด trails in Madison County would likely thought be muddy. I did really enjoy that trip.
Looking ahead, next Monday is Presidents Day ๐ด when the sun will be setting at 5:34 pm with dusk at 6:01 pm. On that day in 2022, we had partly sunny and temperatures between 28 and 13 degrees.

Hiked thirty one 3๏ธโฃ1๏ธโฃ miles this weekend which isn’t too bad. ๐ถ Drove fewer miles than I walked. I hiked to Norman’s Kills Falls, Meads Road, Van Dyke Preserve, Five Rivers, the Town Park in the morning today, then later on Bennett Hill and Blodgett Hill in the afternoon. Didn’t get into a wreck heading over to Blodgett Hill before dark but maybe almost a ticket for speeding. ๐ซ
I was my usual Sunday driver self ๐, hiked Bennett Hill and in the evening Blodgett Hill. I know I should have squeezed in Copeland Hill too but I didn’t have the time. Visited with my parents ๐ฒ and went to the Walmart to make sure that I had enough fruits and vegetables for the week. The goal should be 2.5 – 3 lb a day or 18 lbs of fruits and veggies or so a week. ๐
I kind of loss track of the time at my parents house ๐ and blew past a cop ๐จ on 32 rushing over to Blodgett Hill to get up it before dark but I didn’t get stopped. I really was only going a few miles over the 55 rural speed limit – maybe 57 or 59, and it wasn’t really a speed trap as the cop was driving but I’m such a slow driver ๐ข as it saves fuel โฝ in my big jacked up truck which is already too expensive.
Tonight will be mostly cloudy ๐ฅ, with a low of 25 degrees at 6am. Eight degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 11th. Light northwest wind.

Maybe I’ll have to turn my heat back on. โจ I was hoping it would be closer to freezing and I could get away with having it. Truth is I don’t mind the cold, especially with my heated blanket. I’m sure when I own my own land ๐ I’ll let the fire die down before bed. ๐ I’m increasingly opposed to central heating, I prefer to sleep in the cold.

The record high of 58 was set in 1900. 9.0 inches of snow fell back in 1893.โ
Tomorrow starts the new express bus ๐ going right past my house which is perfect for me on a session day. I plan to get an early start for my walk, ๐ถ and then shower ๐ฟ and iron my shirt so I can out for the bus at 8:15. Plan calls for getting off at the Plaza and walking underground to work.

It’s the Sunday morning hike on Bennett Hill ๐ป same one I do every week before going out see the folks. Nice day though it started out cold. But it is now starting to feel like a mid March day. Sun angle has been getting a lot stronger the past few days so when it’s sunny out and not too windy it warms up fast.
This afternoon will be mostly sunny ๐, with a high of 45 degrees at 3pm. 10 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 15th. East wind 3 to 5 mph.

Split pea soup ๐ฅ for lunch at my folks house and then I’ll probably sit out back with the dog ๐ถ. If I leave early enough I might do a jot up Blodgett Hill. Then I need to get some groceries ๐, mostly the perishable healthy kind. If not for needing oranges and bananas for work I probably could skip that trip. But I’m eating healthier in my 40s.

There is a northwest breeze at 15 mph. ๐. Waited a bit for it to warm up this morning with the breeze. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 6 pm. โ๏ธ
I wanted toget out by 6:30 ๐ but it was too dark and cold. So I started my walk around 7. While I don’t have to go to work today, I wanted to avoid the crowds ๐ช on the rail trail. Looks like I missed the worse of it. There were some early morning ๐ถ dog walkers in town and I thought the rail trail would be crowded but so far it’s not.
Today will be mostly sunny ๐, with a high of 37 degrees at 1pm. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 18th.

Norman’s Kill Gorge and the Noonan Preserve this morning ๐ and then maybe Five Rivers Environmental Education Center and Meads Road this afternoon after lunch. ๐ธ That will cover the bulk of the daylight hours and then I’ll retire early to bed ๐.

Partly cloudy ๐ and 41 degrees in Delmar for the evening walk. ๐ถ I swear I felt a few rain โ drops mid walk. There is a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. ๐. Temperatures will drop below freezing around 1 am.
Walking home from the Park and Ride lot ๐ ฟ I was thinking this was the last time I’ll have to do it but I might continue to get off there if the weather is nice on days when I have to dress up for work. But those days when the weather is bad the express is a good option and I don’t have to depend on asking the driver to drop me off at home. ๐ก Plus it’s really good for all those session mornings and it gets me to the office ๐ข a little earlier than which is good as a director to be in early.

Last month, January my gas and electric bill was $103 which isn’t bad figuring its January and inflation. ๐ I don’t like paying much for gas and electricity as I don’t think I get much value out of it. It was outside of that first week of February that one Friday and Saturday a very mild month and I’ve been keeping my heat to a minimum level especially now that I have that heated blanket.

Pasta for dinner tonight. ๐ That used to be my go to but it has a lot of calories and it’s not real filling so I eat too much. I just abided by the one bowl rule, no second helpings, included a lot frozen corn ๐ฝ and had a bunch of frozen strawberries and bananas for dessert.
