8-14 Day Outlook – Wednesday December 29

If you were hoping for a cold to start to the New Year, you won’t be getting it in most of New York, but the upper mid-west will be cold, so you can at least watch videos of cattleman on the Youtube breaking ice with axes in the Upper Midwest. I am sure it will arrive though some time in late January or early February.

Weather Update – December 29, 2021

Rain, mild and dreary to close out the year β˜”

50 degrees and rain for New Years Day. As Petula Clark once sung, it’s a sign of the times. Saves on the heating bills I guess. It’s funny how winter priorities change when you get old.

Good Morning – December 29, 2021

Good morning! What day is it? A snowy Hump Day, of course. 🌨

Roads are just a bit wet, the side walks are okay not icy at all. Fresh snow on the tree branches. A few snow flakes here and there.

Snow showers and 33 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. 🌨 Calm wind. The skies will clear Sunday around 10 pm.

Fare box is working on the bus 🚍 today, no free ride. Engine retarder though is making a loud grinding noise every time the driver hits the brakes. Seems like lately they’ve done a good job maintaining the buses although I guess the past few days show that’s not always the case.

Up early again but it might be too damp to walk on the Plaza 🚢 but I guess I could do laps in the concourse with the muzzle on. But I don’t like exercising with the muzzle on quite honestly.

For a while they were talking about real cold weather in January ❄ and while I’m sure it will arrive, it doesn’t seem like it will be happening that first week of January.

The CDC slashes estimates of omicron’s prevalence in the U.S. : NPR

New data released on Tuesday shows that while omicron remains the dominant variant, delta – which is the more severe strain – is still a worrisome driving force behind the current surge.

The CDC had previously reported that as of Dec. 18, 73% of new cases were linked to omicron. But on Tuesday, the agency revised those figures, slashing that estimate to 23% – a 50-point drop, suggesting that while the new variant was on the rise, it was not infecting people at the rate the CDC had projected
