November 14, 2020 Morning

Good morning! Happy Saturday. Its the weekend in Biden’s ‘merica! No malarkey allowed. Working from home it doesn’t seem like that big of a change but I don’t have to check my work email as much on Saturday. 📧 Next Saturday is Regular Deer Season in Southern Zone 🦌. Pow! Pow! Overcast and 39 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a west-northwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 10 pm. ☃️

Had a nice big ol pile of pancakes 🥞 for breakfast, and coffee ☕. Breakfast was good. I’ve been having a lot of eggs and cereal 🥣 lately so pancakes topped with frozen cherries 🍒 is a good change. Lately frozen cherries have been my snack of choice – fairly healthy and they help reduce achiness now that I’m cooped 🐔 up in my apartment with November underway.

Trimmed my hair 💇🏻‍♂️ up again. I like being able to keep my hair a consistent length without the barber 💈and then I can also compost or burn the waste hair. I don’t like when my hair gets too long and curly or gets matted from mud and sweat especially in the woods – and these days working remotely I don’t shower as much. 🚿 Last shower I took was Tuesday. 👃🏻Bathing 🛀 is nice, start to smell after a while.

I survived Friday the 13th in 2020 and both went for a morning and evening walk. Yesterday wasn’t a terrible day but it was cloudy and boring 💤 working from home. I haven’t been on the Wi-Fi since Tuesday so I’m out of podcasts and videos to watch 📺 but I guess that’s a good thing. I’ve been finding and downloading Coronavirus data and using it to make maps 🗺 and charts for the blog.

Been trying to get up and around more to avid getting so stiff and sore from my uncomfortable home work chair. 💺 My neck and back have been feeling a lot better 💪🏻 since I’ve been making stretching activities during the work day more of a priority. At times now I stand at work or kneel on my knees at the desk to improve my posture.

Today will be cloudy ☁️, then gradually becoming sunny 🌞, with a high of 46 degrees at 1pm. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 20th. Northwest wind 9 to 14 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 37 degrees. The record high of 70 was set in 1973. 14.4 inches of snow fell back in 1972.❄ I heard maybe some snow flurries today but no big snow storms right away.

I am hoping it will clear out soon ⛅ so it’s nice when I walk 🚶🏻 out to Five Rivers 🐦. I know I need to leave relatively early today as it gets dark, early. Plus my battery 🔋 bank is low on the truck so I want it to be topped off before I start my truck on Sunday to go out to the folks house. I haven’t driven anywhere since Monday at this point – which used to be the norm for me most weeks but since the pandemic started I’ve been driving 🚘 down to the library more to work with the Wi-Fi. 🦉

Solar noon 🌞 is at 11:41 am with sun having an altitude of 29° from the due south horizon (-41.8° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 10.8 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 3:52 pm with the sun in the west-southwest (238°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-southwest (246°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:35 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 11 seconds with dusk around 5:03 pm, which is 55 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 5:39 pm. At sunset, look for clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 44 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 9 mph. Today will have 9 hours and 47 minutes of daytime, a decrease of 2 minutes and 10 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 27 degrees at 2am. Five degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around November 30th. Northwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming calm in the evening. In 2019, we had clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 32 degrees. The record low of 14 occurred back in 1939.

Cold but not unreasonable tonight. 🚶🏻 I am sure I’ll probably go for a nice walk late this evening and maybe listen 🎧 to podcasts I downloaded while I’m at the Five Rivers Wi-Fi.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Small Business Saturday 🛍️ when the sun will be setting at 4:24 pm with dusk at 4:55 pm. On that day in 2019, we had partly cloudy and temperatures between 47 and 33 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 43 degrees. We hit a record high of 68 back in 1990.

August 6, 2020 Morning

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Partly cloudy and 64 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌥️Calm wind. The dew point is 58 degrees. After a quite cloudy morning it’s clearing out a bit.

Today I’m working on getting packed for my trip out to the Finger Lakes. ⛺ I was thinking originally about leaving tomorrow before work but I think I will actually go after work. It looks like it’s going to be pretty cloudy and icky tomorrow actually. I would work remotely from camp tomorrow but I don’t want to work in the rain if I can and I’ll avoid it. I actually have quite a bit of stuff to do tomorrow.

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 79 degrees at 3pm. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around August 24th. Maximum dew point of 59 at 10am. West wind 3 to 5 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, which became rain by afternoon. It was very sticky. The high last year was 84 degrees. The record high of 98 was set in 1900.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 1:02 pm with sun having an altitude of 63.9° from the due south horizon (-6.9° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 2.9 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:31 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (287°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (294°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 8:10 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 9 seconds with dusk around 8:40 pm, which is one minute and 18 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 9:20 pm. At sunset, look for mostly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 72 degrees. The dew point will be 59 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Today will have 14 hours and 15 minutes of daytime, a decrease of 2 minutes and 21 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 62 degrees at 6am. One degree above normal. Maximum dew point of 59 at 7pm. Light northwest wind. In 2019, we had partly cloudy skies. It was sticky. It got down to 69 degrees. The record low of 46 occurred back in 1994.

I realize cleaning up my blog yesterday I accidentally deleted the code that makes the charts display so it’s been noticed but I don’t know if there’s been no charts on the blog today. 📝 I also fix some other mistakes and issues with the blog. I don’t know if I can go to the library to update the blog out there but I won’t be able to use my phone because because it probably is closed through the Coronavirus. that’s it still good to get away and I shouldn’t have to work next week because I actually had the really the days off.

Right now, a split verdict on the weekend. 😕 Saturday, a chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 2pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 80. Light and variable wind. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms. Maximum dew point of 67 at 10am. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 86. Maximum dew point of 65 at 10am. Typical average high for the weekend is 82 degrees.

After Friday it should be a pretty nice weekend. ☺ But I’m still thinking I’ll probably leave Friday as that breaks up the trip to the Finger Lakes and gives me more chances to stop. 🚘 I’m thinking of taking the mid state route this time down NY 13 through Cortland and Ithaca this time, maybe stopping at a few parks and scenic visits. 🏞 I’m not totally set on the route yet.

January 28, 2020 Morning

Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Final full day I’m 36 years old. Tomorrow at 5:28 am or something like that according to my birth certificate, which is handwritten but not fake, I’ll be 37. Two weeks to Don’t Cry over Spilled Milk Day 🥛. I don’t know, rancid milk can be pretty pungent 👃, says the dirty hick that I am. 👨‍🌾 Cloudy in Trump’s America and 35 degrees in Delmar, NY, as I take the old hybrid bus from 2010 downtown. ☁ There is a northwest breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 6 pm. ☃️

Yes, I learned my lesson from yesterday and took the earlier bus 🚍 downtown. Its a bit annoying because this bus gets me to work much earlier than necessary but at least I won’t clock in late 🕒 and then have to stay late to get my seven and a half in. It’s tough with the 20 minute headway on the bus 🚏, I preferred it when they had the 15 minute headway but they’re wasn’t enough ridership to justify that level of service during the morning rush hour.

I was a bit worried I was getting a cold again 😷 after hearing John Wolcott was feeling sick again but I’m okay this morning. I sure hope I don’t get sick any time soon. I try to be a lot better washing my hands, but it can be difficult to do good handwashing practices.

Today will have isolated snow showers before 11am. Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 38 degrees at 2pm. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 26th. Northwest wind 8 to 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 22 degrees. The record high of 56 was set in 1916. 9.6 inches of snow fell back in 1897.❄

This morning I realized that I forgot to get pan spray 🍳 the last time I was at the store but I have my dentist appointment on Thursday so I’ll get it then. Kind of essential for making waffles. I think I will drive to the dentist just based on the timing of things. I also wanted to get another set of Bluetooth headphones 🎧 and more drain solvent so I had plenty in stock the last time I went to Wally World but they didn’t have it in stock..

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:09 pm with sun having an altitude of 29.1° from the due south horizon (-41.7° vs. 6/21). Adding sun angle quickly at this point, so when we get a bright sunny day it’s bound not to be quite as cold out as only a few weeks ago. You saw the February average high chart 📊 I posted yesterday – it’s a steady climb through March.

The golden hour 🏅 starts at 4:21 pm with the sun in the west-southwest (238°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-southwest (246°) starting at 5:00 pm and lasts for 3 minutes and 11 seconds with dusk around 5:33 pm, which is one minute and 18 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At dusk you’ll see the Waxing Crescent 🌒 Moon in the southwest (222°) at an altitude of 31° from the horizon, 252,182 miles away. 🚀 The best time to look at the stars is after 6:07 pm. At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies ☁ and temperatures around 35 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 14 mph. Today will have 9 hours and 49 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 12 seconds over yesterday. Definitely getting longer.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 22 degrees at 6am. Seven degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 4th. Maximum wind chill around 12 at 6am; Northwest wind 8 to 10 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 5 degrees. The record low of -10 occurred back in 1925.

While Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be quite nice, clouds and some rain or snow showers for the weekend. ☔ Saturday, a chance of snow showers before 1pm, then a chance of rain showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 38. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Sunday, a chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 38. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Typical average high for the weekend is 32 degrees. At least another mild weekend is on tap, good for the heating bills. The woods might be super sloppy again this weekend after the rain but maybe I can road hike at Partridge Run or maybe in the Albany Pine Bush where the sand rarely gets muddy.

🌹🌻🌼Only 51 days remain until the first day of calendar spring!🌹🌻🌼

In other words, tomorrow marks 50 days until calendar spring. 📅 As that song by Godspell Soundtrack says, Day by Day.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Don’t Cry over Spilled Milk Day 🥛 when the sun will be setting at 5:21 pm with dusk at 5:50 pm. On that day in 2019, we had partly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 33 and 18 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 34 degrees. We hit a record high of 59 back in 1981.

March 20, 2019 – Next Sixteen Weeks

Today is the first day of spring. 🌷🌺🌻🌼That means longer days, warmer temperatures, and generally more enjoyable weather is just around the corner. In two weeks, the norm will be nights above freezing, and nearly 13 hours of daylight. There is much to look forward to this time of year.

November 18, 2018 Afternoon

Good afternoon! Happy Sunday. Two weeks to First Sunday of Advent ✝️. Christmas is always special, especially when it’s more of a religious holiday or celebration of the winter solstice then consumerism. Time goes by quickly, 40 days or so until the New Year.

Gray, cloudy and 33 degrees in Delmar. ☁ Calm wind. Things are melting quickly with only 2 inches of snow left on the ground. ☃ ️

Today will have a slight chance of snow before 2pm, then a chance of rain and snow between 2pm and 4pm, then a chance of snow after 4pm. Cloudy 🌧, with a high of 36 degrees at 3pm. 11 degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical day around December 14th. Kind of a cold mid November day. Light and variable wind. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. A year ago, we had cloudy skies. The high last year was 46 degrees. The record high of 71 was set in 1928. 9 inches of snow fell back in 1980.❄

The sun will set at 4:29 pm with dusk around 5:00 pm, which is 48 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for snow showers around 🌨 with temperatures around 34 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Today will have 9 hours and 38 minutes of daytime, a decrease of 2 minutes and 2 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be light snow likely, mainly before midnight. Cloudy 🌨, with a low of 30 degrees at 2am. One degree below normal, which is similiar to a typical night around November 21st. South wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible. In 2017, we had light rain in the evening, remaining overcast into the early morning. It got down to 33 degrees. The record low of 12 occurred back in 1972.

This afternoon I plan to upload a bunch of new maps and GIS content. 🌐 I often struggle to find new areas to map, especially when I’ve done so much of New York and not knowing other states as well and requiring separate data sets makes it a pain to do them.

I also need to find new data to chart, which isn’t that difficult but it requires me to sit down somewhere I have internet and get it done. Maybe I should plan sometime this week to do that down at the library.

I promise not to complain so much on my blog this week, but winters are so harsh and cold and the heat doesn’t work well in my apartment.😯 Never has. I’m hoping at some point it will warm up and be sunny, 😎 I think that would improve my mood enormously. I’m just cranky because winter came early, its been a tough few weeks at work and the holiday season doesn’t do much for me. And I’m just pissed that I blew off camping last weekend before the heavy snow came. Spring will return eventually. I should look at it this way, I’m saving a lot of miles on my truck and investing in my future.

I’ve decided with all the USB stuff that I have at this point, I really need a powered USB hub for at home do I’m not overwhelming my laptop’s USB port. 🔌 I want one with switches so I can disable things like my keyboard when my laptop is off to save power. I’m thinking that I can also use it to power my VMS display at home.

Still also looking at SSD hard drives for my laptop💾 to speed it up enormously and give me more room with all the videos I do. So far the Black Friday sales on Buy Nothing day are only like $140 which is only ten dollars less than the ordinary retail price. That said I do want to go to the SSD drive before the end of the year so I have more space actually twice as much as I’m putting the M2 drive in that slot while retaining my existing drive. It should make map making much quicker as will it help loading any large file.

I also need some more Lolin32 development boards for projects and a 12 volt power supply for the reading and wake up light I’m building over my bed using warm white LED tape that I got sent to me a few weeks ago from China. Like my other lights it will be Arduino controlled and have a timer to wake me up on dark weekday mornings. I think I will be in the poor house by the time I do all that especially if I decide to buy that big certificate of deposit at the end of the month. More shivering at home and doing things for free like walking places I guess. I have plenty of food for now and gas in my truck so I can avoid spending there, I expect the state inspection to go well later in the month, no repairs needed. After I filled the tires up in the truck three noisys stopped.

My neices Christmas gift is almost finished once I finish soldering in the ultraviolet black light LEDs, finish the code, and get some glow in the dark spray paint for some of the glass beads. ✨The heavy glass star coffee table decoration I’m building turns various colors, blinks and flashes, and uses black light to make anything florescent nearby glow aggressively.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until First Sunday of Advent ✝️ when the sun will be setting at 4:22 pm with dusk at 4:54 pm. On that day in 2017, we had mostly cloudy skies and temperatures between 41 and 26 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 41 degrees. We hit a record high of 66 back in 1998.

April 14, 2018 Morning

Good morning! Happy Saturday. Next Saturday is Earth Day 🌎. No kids, Rolling Coal doesn’t cause global warming. Mostly cloudy and 43 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a north breeze at 11 mph. 🍃. A big gust of breeze came by and it’s cloudy to the north with sun to the south. Temperatures will drop below freezing around 1 am. ☃️

Today will have a chance of rain, mainly after 3pm. Mostly cloudy,⛅ with a temperature falling to around 37 by 5pm. North wind 13 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had sunny skies. The high last year was 64 degrees. Not this year though. The record high of 83 was set in 1968. 1.4 inches of snow fell back in 1950.❄ Hardly something to write back home about.

The sun will set at 7:36 pm with dusk around 8:06 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for clouds ☁ and 36 degrees. There will be a north-northeast breeze at 13 mph. Today will have 13 hours and 22 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 46 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will rain before 2am, then freezing rain and sleet. ☔ Low of 32 degrees at 2am. Five degrees below normal. Leave your windshield wipers up and prepare to wash your car off again this week. North wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Little or no ice accumulation expected. New sleet accumulation of less than a half inch possible. In 2017, we had mostly clear skies. It got down to 33 degrees. The record low of 21 occurred back in 1940.

It was nice down at the Town Park last night. 🌳Rather than stare at a screen, I brought a book📖 I had purchased years ago and was re-reading about renewable energy.📘Reading really is a very enjoyable thing especially with the fresh air down at the park. Reading this older book reminded me how much things have changed over the past decade. 🔧🔩 Certainly lighting technology has changed dramatically over the years, but most of the book is still quite relevant. People don’t think about insulation and vapor barriers but in many cases it’s actually more important to an energy efficient house than solar panels or fancy light bulbs. 🔋I don’t have the knowledge or the skills to do much home building but I am definitely interested in the electrical side of things, especially low voltage. 📟 I’m trying to become more educated though over the next ten years or so.

Starting to see green popping up at the park but it still gets dark quite early – about the same time that is common in late August.🌃 One of these days I’m going to do a chart or table on the blog that shows what one day’s average is most similar to the autumn season. 🎆For example, a 60 degree day in April is similar to certain day in October or a 7:30 sunset in April is equal to 7:30 sunset in early September. Not a difficult thing to calculate per se but quite fascinating.

I was going to have a beer out back but I don’t think the accessory battery has been fully charged in a while,⛔ so the protective relay has shut off the lights to the truck cap.🔋 I really need to get that solar panel mounted so it trickle charges all week long. 🚒Plus I’ve really cut back on drinking because it’s expensive and I have so little extra money to piss away🍺 and plus I wanted to work on wiring up the board I’m building.

Soldered on the pin headers for another Arduino Nano and are in the process of building another board for driving another of those MAX 7219 displays like the one that is now in my office. 💻I have the parts to build several more and this one will be an improved model with a 32kb external eeprom to allow many more random strings and quotes.⚡ I’m thinking of skipping the case on this one and mounting the display directly to the wall. I quit soldering last night when I discovered I had a dead short that I’m struggling to find.🔬 I’m going to keep unsoldering and testing leads to find where I’ve accidentally either burnt off insulation or caused a solder bridge. 🔎It’s not apparent where the problem is from studying the connections with the big magnifying glass built-in with my helping hands unit.

I think today is going to be a pretty busy day with work, but I’m hopeful I will be home before the freezing rain comes.💦 I think the risk of rain has fallen around here at least for today. But I’m going to watch the forecast like a hawk and as things evolve I’ll plan my day accordingly.👀 I struggle to accept that we are still dealing with winter crap now that calendar winter is in the rear view mirror and summer is closer than Ground Hog Day.

Still thinking but not 100% certain if after the Pine Bush hike if I will go up to the Adirondacks to fish and camp. ⛺ Depends a whole lot on the weather. At this point, what’s one more week if I can get a full weekend of camping out of it or maybe even a three day weekend.🎣 By then the sun will be setting later too which is a good thing.

As previously noted, next Saturday is Earth Day 🌎 when the sun will be setting at 7:44 pm with dusk at 8:14 pm. On that day in 2017, we had rain, drizzle, mist, cloudy skies and temperatures between 57 and 47 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 61 degrees. We hit a record high of 89 back in 1923.

April 12, 2018 – Next Sixteen Weeks

While lately it’s been pretty cool to start out the spring season, the weather is slowly but surely moderating.🌼🌻🌹🌺 This time of year sees the quickest average increases in warmth, and indeed with the lack of freezing temperatures over the next week, we should soon start to see some greening up of the landscape, at least in the city.
