Weather Update – March 17, 2023

Rain today then nicer weather thereafter β˜”

So nothing really great to say about Saint Patrick’s Day though it looks like the rain won’t last into the evening. Then windy for the weekend. I bet the snow won’t be long in this world. I like those fifties in the day but not the lows in the evening which are probably too cold to turn the heat off for the season.

Daily Update – March 17, 2023

Good morning! Happy Saint Patrick’s Day.πŸ€

I better wear the green muzzle to work today, it being Saint Patrick’s Day. And remember, at least in cattle and sheep eating too much clover causes bloat.

Cloudy and dark around 33 degrees at 6:20 am for the morning walk in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. There are 3 inches of snow on the ground. β˜ƒ ️

It’s a dark start to my Friday πŸŒƒ but maybe it’s because it’s expected to rain this morning or maybe it’s because I got an early start this morning. Getting lighter as I walk 🚢, I didn’t turn on the porch light before leaving.

Not a real cold morning but I wouldn’t say it’s the nicest ever. The good news is the rain is expected to be tough on the snow, 🌧 and will hopefully send it packing for the weekend. And if that’s not enough, this weekend should be windy and sunny which should take a bite out of the snow. 😎 I’m just hoping I can start doing walks down to the park in the evening for additional steps.

Here is a crosswalk table for converting Onondaga County 2020 EDs to 2023 EDs

Here is a crosswalk table for converting Onondaga County 2020 EDs to 2023 EDs.

In a nutshell, 87 EDs changed in Onondaga County, mostly in the city after redistricting, though also some changes in the town. Block-level VAP again was used estimating how much of the old ED is in the new ED. I’ll probably do Erie next.

So basically to use this table, like the one I posted for Albany County, you would do this kind of math:

2023 Camillus 11 Votes = (2020 Camillus 11 Votes * .634) + (2020 Camillus 16 Votes * .004)

2023 Camillus 16 Votes = (2020 Camillus 16 Votes * .593)

2023 Camillus 21 Votes = (2020 Camillus 21 Votes * 1) + (2020 Camillus 11 Votes * .364)

2023 Camillus 25 Votes = (2020 Camillus 16 Votes * .402)

Et cetera. The cross walk is somewhat simpler for Onondaga County, especially the towns, as the changes are less dramatic then Albany County.

March 16, 2023 Morning

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Mostly clear and 25 degrees πŸŒƒ at the in Delmar, NY for morning walk. There is a northwest breeze at 10 mph. πŸƒ. There are 4 inches of snow on the ground. β˜ƒ ️Things will start to thaw out at around 10 am. 🌑️

Out for the morning walk 🚢 before sunrise at 6:25. But already it’s not super dark or cold. At least in the evening there was some light for the walk then. I didn’t get out walking last night until 7:15 pm because session dragged a little beyond 5 pm and I ended up catching the local home at 5:45. But there was still daylight. Cold ❄ day yesterday with the wind but already this morning is much nicer. Ton of black ice on the sidewalks this morning, caught myself a few times starting to fall. Last night wasn’t so bad.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 45 degrees at 5pm. Seems warm and nice. Just typical for today. West wind 7 to 9 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 60 degrees. The record high of 82 was set in 1990. 13.4 inches of snow fell back in 1956.❄

While there is quite a bit of snow around ☺ it should be a good day. Probably won’t be able to go to the park this evening but I’m hoping to get out walking 🚢 in the daylight hours. Session day πŸ•΄οΈbut a get away day so hopefully they’ll bang through the budget reso and I’ll be able to take the express home. Then a quick dinner – I have several options I’ve frozen over the past few weeks. 🍲 I actually did a small bowl of pasta last night because I wanted to finish off the open container of pasta sauce that was getting old and I didn’t want to go bad.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 1:05 pm with sun having an altitude of 45.6Β° from the due south horizon (-25.2Β° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 5.9 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour πŸ… starts at 6:26 pm with the sun in the west (262Β°). πŸ“Έ The sunset is in the west (269Β°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:03 pm after setting for 2 minutes and 54 seconds with dusk around 7:30 pm, which is one minute and 10 seconds later than yesterday. πŸŒ‡ The best time to look at the stars is after 8:04 pm. At sunset, look for partly cloudy skies πŸŒƒ and temperatures around 41 degrees. There will be a west breeze at 6 mph. Tomorrow will have 12 hours and 2 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 54 seconds over today.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy πŸŒ₯, with a low of 32 degrees at 2am. Six degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 2nd. Northwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening. In 2022, we had partly cloudy skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 43 degrees. The record low of -1 occurred back in 1916.

On the bus ride home I overheard somebody say one of my clients had passed πŸ‘₯, I was thinking not another one as I think half of my clients have come and gone over the years. He was one of the good ones not that I necessarily agree with his politics but he’s good for his district. The thing about it, it’s not true. πŸ€₯The Republican who was talking had no idea what she was talking about. The buses 🚍 are good place to hear rumors in Albany but not all of them are true. πŸ’­

Cool this weekend with temperatures running 9 degrees below normal but otherwise sunny. πŸ˜ƒ Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 41. West wind 10 to 13 mph. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 33. Breezy. Typical average high for the weekend is 46 degrees.

One month πŸ“… from now the Average High is 60 🌷 when the sun will be setting at 7:39 pm with dusk at 8:07 pm.
