Colder than I expected last night, โ„ 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 ๐ŸŒƒ and staying awake for a few hours before falling asleep for a few more hours.

Yesterday was another kind of boring day ๐Ÿ˜ด and I walked out to Five Rivers ๐Ÿฆ for a few hours. The bluebirds I saw along the lake were quite beautiful.

November 13, 2020 Morning

Clouds and 36 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ˜๏ธ Calm wind. The air smells like barnyard ๐Ÿฎ and wood smoke ๐Ÿ”ฅ on my morning walk. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 9 pm. โ˜ƒ๏ธ

Listening to Cat Stevens ๐Ÿ™€ and out for my morning walk ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿป on this very gray November morning. The days are short and getting increasingly cold and it looks like it won’t be long before we get rain. Just November. Feeling a bit stiff and miserable but it’s the weather and the probably residual Lyme disease or spending too much time in my uncomfortable chair working from home.

Yesterday was kind of dull and cloudy day, โ˜๏ธ with a few work calls ๐Ÿ“ž but very quiet. I played a lot with the COVID-19 data and explored some new ideas I had for making maps. While my phone doesn’t work as a hot spot, I discovered that I can use it both to upload and download data via the USB cable. ๐Ÿ”Œ I probably should go library to work today and save some data on my phone ๐Ÿ“ฑ but the weather isn’t particularly nice. I saw the library now has hotspots you can borrow but I don’t know, I kind of like having limited internet access at home.

Today will have light rain before noon, then rain likely between noon and 4pm. Mostly cloudy ๐ŸŒง, with a high of 43 degrees at 1pm.

Going to be kind of cold โ„ and blustery for my walk ๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿป out to Five Rivers ๐Ÿฆ ๐Ÿธ but I like it so I’ll probably do it tomorrow. I expect Sunday’s weather to be worse. I do need to get there early because now the sun set is early and even with the blaze orange it’s not safe walking ๐Ÿš˜ on the narrow shoulders of Delaware Avenue.

Looking ahead to Sunday, a slight chance of rain and snow before 10am, then rain likely. โ˜” Mostly cloudy, with a high near 49. South wind 5 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. Typical average high for the weekend is 49 degrees.

On Sunday it will be another stay at home day, ๐Ÿก except maybe for going out to the folks house for Sunday dinner. ๐Ÿฒ I should figure out some other projects to work on too.

Last week I went to buy hand sanitizer and actually bought liquid soap. But I’m using that for washing dishes ๐Ÿด and while camping.

While really none of the elections locally are competive, I did pull the lever for Jo Jergenson the libertarian ๐Ÿ—ฝ for president. I don’t really have a strong ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป opinion about her but I didn’t really like either the Trumpster or Biden This Time.

Looking ahead to Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 60. ๐ŸŒž Light south wind increasing to 6 to 11 mph in the morning. Typical average high for the weekend is 59 degrees.

I think I may go out to Madison County ๐Ÿฎ tomorrow although I doubt ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ I’ll go as far as Stoney Pond and Cazenovia as that’s a long trip and I’m going to head home either Sunday or Monday. โ›บ I do need to figure out where I can find a library to work from for the Zoom Meeting on Monday. The weather isn’t going to be perfect ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿป but good enough come the weekend.

Looking ahead, there are 4 weeks until Average Night Below Freezing ๐ŸŒŒ when the sun will be setting at 4:34 pm with dusk at 5:04 pm (Standard Time). On that day in 2019, we had cold, mostly sunny and temperatures between 26 and 14 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 49 degrees. We hit a record high of 69 back in 1964.
