December 3, 2020 Morning

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Next Thursday is 7:15 AM Sunrise ⌛️. Mostly sunny and dirty three degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌅 There is a south breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Cold start to the morning but it’s warming up quickly.

I am enjoying the sun ☀ as I go for my morning walk. I am enjoying the sun and it’s a pretty pleasant day for early December. It was chilly this morning when I first awoke this morning although that’s because I turned the heat way down before bed 🛏. I had turned it up after getting home from working down at the library as I was kind of chilled through.

In three weeks my yearly prepaid phone expires, 📶 and I’ll go month to month with the unlimited data plan and probably 20 gb of hot spot data each month through March at least when it warms up again. 🌸 While I can do a lot on my phone, some remote work tasks are best done on the computer. 💻 The cost is balanced out by not having a bus fare to pay. 🚍 I do miss working in the office and walking down to the library though.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 46 degrees at 2pm. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 21st. South wind 5 to 10 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 32 degrees. The record high of 63 was set in 2009. 5.2 inches of snow fell back in 1893.❄

Solar noon 🌞 is at 11:46 am with sun having an altitude of 25.2° from the due south horizon (-45.6° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 12.7 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 3:39 pm with the sun in the southwest (232°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-southwest (240°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:24 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 21 seconds with dusk around 4:54 pm, which is 14 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 5:30 pm. At sunset, look for mostly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 44 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 7 mph. Tomorrow will have 9 hours and 12 minutes of daytime, a decrease of one minute and 13 seconds over today.

Today at lunch time 🥪 I am going to wash my truck 🚚 and get some groceries then work at the library parking lot 🅿 for a few hours. That way the heater on my truck will be warm plus the solar gain ☀ through the windshield. Should be a nice day and I’ll make sure to bring my binoculars so I can watch the birds 🐦.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 32 degrees at 1am. Six degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around November 16th. South wind around 7 mph. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 19 degrees. The record low of -9 occurred back in 1940.

I do not approve of this weekend, although Sunday will be okay. 😕 Saturday, a chance of rain and snow before 7am, then a chance of rain. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 41. Light north wind increasing to 5 to 9 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 35. Typical average high for the weekend is 40 degrees.

This is the last weekend of regular deer season 🦌 so I’m thinking that maybe next weekend if the weather is decent and not too snowy I’ll get out of town for a few days. ⛺ I’d rather be in the woods when it’s quiet out there except for the black powder guys. 🌲

As previously noted, next Thursday is 7:15 AM Sunrise ⌛️ when the sun will be setting at 4:22 pm with dusk at 4:53 pm. On that day in 2019, we had rain showers, mostly cloudy, mild and temperatures between 52 and 35 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 38 degrees. We hit a record high of 64 back in 1966.

December 1, 2020 Morning

Good morning! Happy December 🎄! Can you believe it’s already December? I certainly can’t. Two weeks to Bill of Rights Day 📜. Pouring rain and 54 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a south breeze at 11 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 49 degrees. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 4 am. ☃️

I was up early enough 🌄 to get out for my walk but it was pouring rain at eight o’clock. So I canned my walk. Hopefully I’ll get out for my evening walk. 🚶🏻 I might also walk down to the library if it’s warm enough to walk down there. Work schedule is quiet 🕒 but I’m sure there will be projects later.

Today will have a chance of showers, mainly after noon. 🌧️ Mostly cloudy, with a temperature falling to around 44 by 5pm. South wind 11 to 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 28 degrees. The record high of 67 was set in 1934. 3.7 inches of snow fell back in 1969.❄

Solar noon 🌞 is at 11:46 am with sun having an altitude of 25.5° from the due south horizon (-45.3° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 12.6 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The sun is weak and low now, assuming that the rain and clouds part. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 3:40 pm with the sun in the southwest (233°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-southwest (241°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:24 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 21 seconds with dusk around 4:54 pm, which is 19 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 5:31 pm. At sunset, look for rain 🌧 and temperatures around 46 degrees. Breezy, 16 mph breeze ⛅ from the south.

The record low of -2 occurred back in 1875.

I am in some ways glad that 2020 is winding down. ⏳ For me it was a pretty good year, certainly odd but I had a lot of fun with remote work. 💻 Snow is holding off so maybe I can get in a few more camping trips in before the end of the year. ⛺ I don’t mind the snow but when the snow banks are high it’s hard to find anywhere to park. 🅿 Plus all the neat places on the dirt roads are closed come winter. ❄ But April will be back in 2021 and things are likely to be less odd then. I’m hopeful that the vaccine will be successful and I can eventually start working downtown again. 🚍

Still not a great weekend on tap. 😕 Saturday, partly sunny, with a high near 42. Sunday, a chance of rain and snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 43. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Typical average high for the weekend is 40 degrees.

This will be a stay at home 🏡 weekend, like many others when I’ll probably walk 🚶🏻 out to Five Rivers 🐦 for watching the birds and wildlife. Not much snow lately but it might be muddy there. The alternative would be to drive to Rennselear and Schodack Island and then stock up on groceries at Aldi’s. Haven’t made a trip there in a while. Staying home saves money which is good as I’ve had a lot of bills lately. Money 💵 is tight and I have a quarterly tax payment due December 15th.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Bill of Rights Day 📜 when the sun will be setting at 4:22 pm with dusk at 4:54 pm. On that day in 2019, we had partly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 44 and 28 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 36 degrees. We hit a record high of 61 back in 2015.

November 20, 2020 Morning

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Next Friday is Buy Nothing Day 🛍️. HASH TAG waste your money on stupid plastic stuff. 💸↔️🗑 Clouds with some clearing and 44 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌥 There is a south breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The current wind chill is 30. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Sunday around 1 am. ☃️

Going one of the most pleasant Fridays in recent weeks. ⛅ Lots of sun and mild. It’s good, the past few days have been cool and I’ve had the heat on, especially working from home. But today it will be off and maybe crack open a window or two for fresh air.

Took the first shower 🚿 since Sunday. Working from home I don’t find the need to bathe 🛀🏻 nearly as regularly as I’m not getting dirty and nobody cares if you are unshaved or smelly when you are social distancing. 👃🏻 Plus it saves a lot of wash 👚 and water 💦 to wear the same clothes for multiple days.

A few rain drops 💧 as I go for my morning walk. 🚶🏻 But it’s reasonably warm to be walking for late November in a t-shirt 👕 with my vest over it. The air has a slight tang of barnyard and manure on it 🐮, but it’s November in Upstate NY. The sun ☀ certainly feels nice but at 10 or 15 degrees from the horizon it can only put out so much warmth.

Today will be partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 55 degrees at 2pm. Nine degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 29th. South wind 9 to 13 mph. A year ago, we had light snow in the morning, which became light drizzle by afternoon. The high last year was 37 degrees. The record high of 72 was set in 1991. 3.4 inches of snow fell back in 1961.❄

I have a virtual meeting this afternoon 📹 which I’ll probably just walk down to the library or town park to do. I also want to download some of that MIT Election Lab data so I can play ▶ with that during down time this weekend. 📚 I also should look at getting some books out of the library to read in the evening and maybe work on some electronics projects now that the long winter is upon us. Nothing like breathing in some fumes from lead solder in one’s bedroom. 🔬 Says the boy 🧒🏻 whose burned his share of plastics over the years. 🔥

Solar noon 🌞 is at 11:42 am with sun having an altitude of 27.6° from the due south horizon (-43.3° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 11.5 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 3:47 pm with the sun in the southwest (236°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-southwest (244°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:30 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 14 seconds with dusk around 4:59 pm, which is 44 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At dusk you’ll see the First Quarter 🌓 Moon in the south (180°) at an altitude of 27° from the horizon, 240,016 miles away. 🚀 The best time to look at the stars is after 5:35 pm. At sunset, look for partly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 54 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 9 mph. Tomorrow will have 9 hours and 32 minutes of daytime, a decrease of one minute and 54 seconds over today.

I am glad my state inspection 🚘 🔍 is done and the new registration is on my truck. I always worry about it a lot, especially now that my tires are getting worn down. I drove only 6,700 miles since last year according to the odometer although that’s off by 13% due to the 35 inch tires. This year I didn’t go to Western NY or Pennsylvania and generally have been doing more social distancing so fewer trips to the store 🏬 but more to the library for remote work. Plus with the solar panel and the two accessory batteries 🔋 on my truck, I would generally set up camp and remain parked 🅿 for multiple days.

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌃, with a low of 39 degrees at 4am. Nine degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 18th. South wind 5 to 8 mph becoming west after midnight. In 2019, we had clear skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 26 degrees. The record low of 7 occurred back in 1879.

Tomorrow will be partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 49 degrees at 12pm. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 14th. Northwest wind 6 to 14 mph. A year ago, we had light snow in the morning, which became light drizzle by afternoon. The high last year was 47 degrees. The record high of 70 was set in 1931. 0.8 inches of snow fell back in 1937.❄

Cool but hopefully sunny and warm enough for a pleasant walk 🚶🏻 to Five Rivers 🐦. Those blue birds were pretty that I saw there the other week. I am not expecting a ton of sun but I like the exercise. You never know what wildlife you will see while up there. 🦉

Looking ahead to Sunday, a chance of rain after 1pm. ☔ Mostly cloudy, with a high near 41. ☁️ Light and variable wind becoming southeast 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. Typical average high for the weekend is 46 degrees.

I’ll probably go out to the folks house on Sunday. 🍲 No big plans for Sunday, it might play with some of that Election Geodata I found on the MIT Election Lab 🔬 that I found the other night. Working from home 🏡 means less commuting time and sometimes downtime at work and no library to walk to weeknights or the weekend so I’ll have to figure new ways to keep busy during the long winter nights.

As previously noted, next Friday is Buy Nothing Day 🛍️ when the sun will be setting at 4:24 pm with dusk at 4:55 pm. On that day in 2019, we had partly sunny skies, rain showers and temperatures between 57 and 31 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 43 degrees. We hit a record high of 66 back in 1896.

I am hoping next weekend to get up to the Adirondacks ⛰ ❄ to do some hot tenting ⛺ and hiking during the three day weekend. That said, not sure about the long range forecast. Might be kind of rainy. I’ll have to drive back Sunday as I don’t want to drive back in the dark from the Adirondacks. Some years the snow and ice hold off until January and I can do trips until the end of the year. Based on the amount of junk mail ✉ I got yesterday, the mailman is rooting for me to go it next weekend – certainly will have plenty of paper to start fires with. 🔥

Colder than I expected last night, ❄ I woke up in the middle of the night and decided that I should turn up the heat as it was frigid in bed. Ended up waking up in the middle of the night 🌃 and staying awake for a few hours before falling asleep for a few more hours.

Yesterday was another kind of boring day 😴 and I walked out to Five Rivers 🐦 for a few hours. The bluebirds I saw along the lake were quite beautiful. It was a nice walk but by the time I got home, listened to the news 📰 and had dinner I ended up putting some podcasts on and retiring for the day.

November 7, 2020 Morning

Good morning! Happy Saturday. Finally the weekend in Biden’s America! Just biding my time this morning, watching the sun rise ☀, next to the heater on this quite mild November morning. While it’s not over until the fat ladies in the electoral college sing 🎶, hopefully with masks 😷 on, it seems likely to it will be Biden this time. Two weeks to Regular Deer Season in Southern Zone 🦌. Late this year as Sunday was November 1st. Mostly sunny and 38 degrees at the Stoney Pond State Forest. There is a west-southwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃.

Going to be a beautiful day ☕ as witnessed by the dawn and the sunrise 🌅. Quiet in the woods except for some birds 🐦 and the rumble on the distant four lanes of US 20. Looking forward to hiking around Chittenango State Park and maybe some of the Link Trail outside of Fenner. 🚶🏻 Then get back to camp ⛺ before another long and dark night. But at least it’s not particularly cold.

November 5, 2020 Night

Good evening! Partly cloudy and 51 degrees at the Stoney Pond. 🌌 There is a south-southwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 42 degrees.

A nice evening quite mild 🍁 for November out here in Madison County. 🐮 Quite mild but the leaves are all gone and the nights are quite long at this point. It was a nice drive out here but kind of a long trip because I had to stop 🛑 for remote work 💻 calls 📞 and meetings. Plus I also got food 🍲 at the Hannaford in Esperance – I was a bit creeped out by the clerk touching my shopping bags 🛍 and my ID. I’m just so used to people so aggressively social distancing in the Albany area and not wanting to touch others property. I mean the check out lady 👩‍🔬 was very friendly in the small town kind of way.

I did enjoy the drive out here along US 20 and the rural countryside. 🚜 Still farmers bringing in the high moisture corn 🌽 but the land is very gray with lots of browns. Not much has changed along the road in recent weeks, the homes are still old and ramshackle 🏚️, people doing the best they can to make a living off the land. The fields are being fertilized, the air has that pungent but essential smell 👃🏻 of dairy country 🐄 in the autumn months. I hope to eventually live in such deep rural areas but where there aren’t so many restrictions on guns 🔫 and having a burning barrel 🛢 and bonfires 🔥. I just want to own land out in the country where everybody leaves you alone. I love rundown houses with piles of manure, broke down tractors, goats 🐐 tied out front and of course a burn barrel out back.

I was actually surprised how few big TRUMP signs I saw along the way. 🚩While I did see some Trump flags and signs, I’ve certainly seen more over the top displays on the back roads of the Adirondacks or Pennsylvania. At one level, I do get the appeal of the president – some of those urban laws and policies do come down hard on farm families and country boys who are trying to scrape a living from the dirt. 🚜

Tonight will be mostly cloudy, then becoming mostly clear toward daybreak 🌥, with a low of 45 degrees at 5am. Still can see some stars ✨ but I wouldn’t call it a really clear night. But definitely mild. 11 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 2nd. Southwest wind 7 to 9 mph. In 2019, we had light rain. It got down to 30 degrees. The record low of 15 occurred back in 1951.

I had a nice big fire tonight 🔥 as I was fortunate somebody else had left a pile of wood at their campsite. Thats good because after reassembling the camp lantern 🏮 it didn’t work. Had a couple of beers 🍻 and a big pot of macaroni and cheese 🧀 with diced tomatoes 🍅 and topped with bread crumbs. A fitting meal 🍴 for a long winter night. ☕ Also had some coca and chocolate 🍫 candy I bought on sale after Halloween 🦇.

I sat and listened to the radio 📻 coverage of the presidential election. No real big news 📰 right now but I seems like Joe Biden is pulling ahead. I’m not a big fan of Joe Biden – I voted for the libertarian Jo Jergenson 🗽 but I do ultimately think 🤔 Biden would be far more professional than Trump but I hope congress keeps him on a short leash. 🐶 I think every president should be impeached from time to time to keep them accountable and honest. ⚖

Tonight will have a Waining Gibbous 🌖 Moon with 74% illuminated. The Beaver 🐻 Moon is on Saturday, November 21. The darkest hour is at 11:47 pm, followed by dawn at 6:14 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:44 am in the east-southeast (111°) and last for 3 minutes and 7 seconds.

The record high of 73 was set in 2015. 3.2 inches of snow fell back in 1933.❄

Going to be an absolutely beautiful day tomorrow. ☺ All weekend should be nice. I’m going to work from Cazenovia library 📚 and then spend some time down by the lake. 🏞 Saturday and Sunday will be much more relaxed and I’ll head home before dark on Sunday which happens early this time of year.

In four weeks on December 3 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (240°) at 4:29 pm,🌄 which is 20 minutes and 42 seconds earlier then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had partly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 32 and 22 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 41 and 26 degrees. The record high of 63 degrees was set back in 2009.

Looking ahead, Thanksgiving 🦃 is in 3 weeks, Repeal of Prohibition Day 🍺 is a month away, 7:15 AM Sunrise ⌛️ is in 5 weeks, Christmas Eve 🎅 is in 7 weeks, New Years Eve 🎆 is in 8 weeks, National Bird Day 🐧 is in 2 months, Coldest Week of the Year 🌬 is in 10 weeks, Wolf Moon 🌕 is in 12 weeks, Don’t Cry over Spilled Milk Day 🥛 is in 14 weeks and National Drink Wine Day 🍷 is in 15 weeks.
