Good morning! Happy Halloween 🦇 🎃 👻! Last day of October and Daylight Savings Time 🕒, finally more sunshine ☀ in the morning. Three weeks to Regular Deer Season in Southern Zone 🦌. Already started up north. Sunny and 22 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 Calm wind. Bitterly cold for October but warmer next week. Not so bad in my bedroom 🛏 though as the heat is on. There is a inch of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at around 10 am. 🌡️Buy still only 43 for a high in the city. Sixty next weekend though.

I had another rough night sleeping. 💤 I keep waking up during the night and listening to podcasts well into the morning hours. I sleep so much better when the windows are open in my bedroom. 🛏 Except when that obnoxious touhee is by the window singing 🎶 his song at Five AM. 🐦

Today will have patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, sunny 🌞, with a high of 43 degrees at 3pm. 11 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 27th. Calm wind becoming southeast around 5 mph in the afternoon. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. It became sticky as the day progressed. The high last year was 75 degrees. The record high of 75 was set in 2019. 0.1 inches of snow fell back in 1913.❄

I have some work stuff to do this morning 💻👻🎃🦇 and then I’ll go for a walk out to Five Rivers 🐦 later this afternoon. I can’t go too late though as the sun ☀ will be setting late though.
