Good evening! Clouds, chilly a bit damp and 45 degrees in North Syracuse. ☁ There is a west breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The skies will clear around 2 am. Hoping for a nice morning tomorrow for a hike at Clark Reserve.

Time goes by so quickly when you are as busy at work. I’m just kind of lost track of time and the seasons. 🍂 I see autumn coming and going but I’ve been stuck in the office a lot and it’s been kind of a wet and late autumn. Maybe though tomorrow I’ll see some good color.

Tonight will have isolated showers before 1am. Mostly cloudy ☁, with a low of 39 degrees at 4am. Two degrees below normal. West wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2017, we had mostly cloudy skies. It got down to 54 degrees. The record low of 21 occurred back in 1958.

So today was yet another busy day at work. Just lots of things going on as Election Day creeps closer. Technically at this point less than 24 days until the polls close. ⏳ I’ll be glad when it’s over once again 📮and I can get on to my road trip, hunting and the holidays. I miss the nights in the wilderness. I hate suburbanite life and all the consumerism that surrounds it. 📦I look forward to nice nights relaxing in the wilderness, laying back in the hammock, enjoying a fire and cooking in the back country. 🔥

In four weeks on November 10 the sun will be setting at 4:45 pm (Standard Time),🌄 which is one hour, 39 minutes and 14 seconds earlier then tonight.
