Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 44 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a south-southeast breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Saturday around 7 am. ☃️

Today wasn’t a terrible day, sunny and I didn’t have to work in a basement office. 🏢 That said, I am a bit more concerned about keeping my laptop charged and working all day tomorrow without the sunshine. Going to be kind of cold too. Well I’ll do the best I can do, put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. 🚶 It was for a while so crowded at Five Rivers but once I plowed into my work I kept things going. Then I went for a walk but I was always annoyed how hard it was to remain six feet away from others – people didn’t want to protect your personal space while I was out walking. 😷 Busy day tomorrow with both morning and afternoon meetings, and I’m hoping my solar will hold out all day.

Tonight will have a chance of rain between midnight and 3am, then rain and snow. 🌧 Low of 37 degrees at 6am. Nine degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 11th.

So it looks like in three weeks I’ll do my camping trip ⛺. Not totally sure where I will go, it depends on how many days I have off and ultimately where I decide to go. The Northern Adirondacks might be nice for a change. 🗻 There might still be snow up there – I don’t trust they winter is fully over yet. ⛄ Only time will tell.

In four weeks on April 15 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (284°) at 7:37 pm,🌄 which is 32 minutes and one second later then tonight.

Good morning! Happy March 🌨! Finally things should start to get a bit warmer. Average high by the end of the month is around or may be above fifty and maybe even warmer if the trend continues. Next Sunday is Daylight Savings Time 🌆. Mostly sunny and 27 degrees at the Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. There is a northwest breeze at 15 mph. 🍃. That breeze makes things kind of raw today for my walk which I delayed out to Five Rivers 🚶. Its not so bad in the Vlomans Kill Valley but not elsewhere in Things will start to thaw out at around 3 pm. 🌡️

A cold day today with the wind 🍃. The sun is nice but the wind is bone up chilling. I woke up this morning with a bit of a headache 👿 and a little achy but not so bad that I missed my Sunday walk 🚶 to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. I probably have Coronavirus but I haven’t drunk any beer 🍻 since my birthday 🎂 over a month ago, and I was drinking Blue Moon 🎑. Honestly, I’m looking forward to Corona beer being on sale come the summer so I can have a nice cold drink with a lime come summer. 🍋

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 35 degrees at 4pm. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 18th. Northwest wind 11 to 15 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 39 degrees. The record high of 66 was set in 2017. 10.7 inches of snow fell back in 2005.❄

I think later today I’ll go out to Huyck Preserve 💦 and check out the water falls assuming that I have time before going out to the folks house for Sunday dinner. 🍲 I can’t believe another week has come to a close and next weekend will be Daylight Savings Time. At least it’s a sign that nicer weather is coming. ☀

Today you better remember your reusable bag 🛄 if you’re planning on shopping. I am not – I have enough groceries and will run to the store later in the week 🏬 and maybe wash my truck again. I’m thinking 💭 about going to John Wolcott house 🏡 on Monday but it all depends on how I feel.

I also am working on rewriting the media engine for the blog 📝 to handle the historical photos with before and after pictures you can drag across. The main issue is fixing it so that you can have two photos associated with one media type. It can be done but will require some changes to the code to make it work. It will be neat when it’s done.

🌹🌻🌼Only 18 days remain until the first day of calendar spring!🌹🌻🌼

As previously noted, next Sunday is Daylight Savings Time 🌆 when the sun will be setting at 6:54 pm with dusk at 7:22 pm (Daylight Savings Time).

Typically, the high temperature is 41 degrees. We hit a record high of 68 back in 2012.

Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! Three weeks to Grilled Cheese Day 🧀. A mix of rain and snow flurries and 34 degrees at the Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA. ❄ Above freezing here but I saw a sander come through while I was walking down to the park and ride.🚚 There is a north breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around noontime. ☃️

I was on the fence about walking 🚶 down to the express bus 🚍 but ultimately I decided it wasn’t raining or snowing all that hard. It turned out not to be too bad for walking and I got some free exercise out of it. Just going to be one of those rainy ☔ Fridays.

I guess rain ☔ is a good thing, as it will keep things from getting too dried out, and thaw out the ground for all the farmer 🚜 types that want to sling manure. 💩 Lots of mud though. I think they are getting wet snow in the Adirondacks 🗻 which means it will be longer before it melts away up there. It will happen though, as spring 🌸 always comes eventually and it will be ninety degrees out and humid. Beach weather!🏖

The sun will set at 7:10 pm with dusk around 7:38 pm, which is one minute and 9 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for even more rain 🌧 and snow 🌨 and temperatures around 37 degrees.

At some point this weekend I should go to JC Penny and see if they have any dress shirts that I like 👚, so I have enough for next week. I haven’t heard back from John yet about going over to his house, it also depends if I get a cold. Still thinking about doing some hiking or skiing 🎿 this weekend, it depends on how things go. I’d rather save some money now if the weather isn’t great and do things around home if it looks cloudy and cold. Maybe also I want to unpack my camping gear, and start loading up the cans 🍾 and glass 🥫to take to the recycling center.♻ I also need to clean out my refigerator, dump the food waste into compost, and clean the containers for recycling.

I signed up for defensive driving 🚘 on April 15th. Cost has gone up to $25, makes me want to think about doing an online class in future years. I’ve been thinking about readjusting my insurance or shopping around – it’s gotten a lot more expensive in recent years ever since I increased my liability insurance a few years back. 💣

Later that week maybe on the 17th or 18th of April, right before Good Friday, I will probably head up to the Adirondacks to camp ⛺ and fish.🎣 I am increasingly leaning towards doing a trip heading up NY 30, spread out over a couple of days, maybe spending one night near the St. Regis Canoe Area, ending the long weekend at Brasher State Forest. All depends a lot on how much snow they have up there, and what I feel like doing. A Central NY trip, fishing the Chittenango Creek and Genegantslet Creek, visiting different state forests could be fun too, but I kind of want to get up to the Adirondacks. I should study the stocking schedules, 🐟 so I know where would be a good place to fish.

In four weeks on Good Friday, April 19 the sun will be setting at 7:42 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 56 seconds later then today. In 2018 on that day, we had cold, partly cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 44 and 34 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 60 and 39 degrees. The record high of 92 degrees was set back in 1976.
