Orthodox New Year 2016 Night
Good evening. Currently we have a brief snow shower coming through and 29 degrees in Delmar. Warm enough this evening I saw a kid and running outdoors on the sidewalk with nothing but gym shorts. Then again, when you run like that you must burn a lot of calories. But even for me on the evening walk, I needed no more than my Carhartt vest unzipped and a sweater. No breeze this evening makes it feel a lot warmer than recent nights.
Tonight will have occasional isolated snow showers before midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 24. Light and variable wind. Chance of precipitation, most likely snow showers, is 20%.
Earlier this evening we had a rather pretty waxing crescent moon which was quite pretty but now has set. Tomorrow’s sunrise will be at 7:22 am with first light at 6:51 am, which is one minute and 28 seconds earlier then today. It certainly is a good thing the days are getting longer as these dark mornings are darn hard to wake up to.
Went down to the library and wasted some time on the Internet. Downloaded some updated GIS data from data.ny.gov website . Read a few articles but mostly killed time on Facebook as I’m fried from work today.
Tomorrow I’ll probably go to the store and go shopping for this weekend camping. Not perfect weather for winter camping in the Adirondacks but it will be decent. If the weather doesn’t work out or it gets too cold, I’ll just come home. I’ll be tent camping and will have to carry my gear back to the site, by fortunately where I plan to camp, the sites are all close to a state road that is regularly plowed and sanded all winter long.
I hope you had a good Thursday. Sleep well! Friday and the weekend are rapidly approaching.
