January 2, 2016 evening
Good evening. Currently 34 degrees and cloudy. With no wind, the weather seems pretty mild. Tomorrow we may see more sun then today, although that’s not saying much. We had about 10 minutes of sun between the clouds and cold. Tomorrow will be 39 degrees and mostly cloudy. Colder weather for Monday and Tuesday, both days will have highs in the 20s and lows in the single digits but with more sun. Wednesday looks super nice with some sun and temperatures around 40.
Definitely a nice evening for the evening walk, at least with a sweater. The sidewalks are ice free, the air was dry, and no breeze. I could almost sit out back this evening. Wouldn’t be bad weather for camping either. Maybe next weekend.
I am super excited about the election results library I finished writing today that crunches election results in batch and also links them to a KML file for display. You can zoom in and click on different parts of the file to display interactively and bring up balloons with ED detailed statistics. All I have to do is cut and paste election results from the canvas book, save the file and run the script. Makes for easy, interesting content for my blog without much work and without taking up a lot of space. I’m a big fan of interactive Google Maps. Static maps are prettier and have better previews but they aren’t interactive.
With the cold weather and clouds I decided not to hike out to Five Rivers Education Center. Instead went down to the library and out to my parent’s house for Sunday dinner a day early because they were going to be doing stuff with my sister on Sunday.
Tomorrow working on more blog stuff and maybe going down to the library for a bit. Need to do some more cleaning around the apartment too. I don’t have any big plans but I’m hoping to do more things next weekend if it’s nice. We will see.
Have a great night. Sleep well.
