January 20, 2023 Morning

Good morning on this rather sloppy Friday here in Delmar! ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Not a lot of snow or ice locally but a ton of slush. 33 degrees and rain.

Out for the morning walk and it’s pretty wet. โ˜” But it’s not pouring out and my boots ๐Ÿ‘ข are waterproof. Not at all icy locally. Sloppy though.

Looking at a high of 40 degrees around 2 pm with the rain tapering off as the day progresses. Some sleet and snow ๐ŸŒจ could mix in throughout the day but if anything it will just make more slop rather than freeze up with well a salted areas just wet.

I tell you, I am sure glad I’ve been wearing my muzzle. ๐Ÿ‘ฉ‍โš•๏ธEverybody lately has been getting sick around this place, but so far I’ve been good. I also try to be better at hand washing ๐Ÿ‘ and avoiding too many crowded places. Getting sick certainly doesn’t seem fun, especially how healthy I’ve been since the start of the pandemic. I don’t get why people don’t want to get vaccinated or stay healthy.

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:07 pm with sun having an altitude of 27.2° from the due south horizon (-43.6° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 11.7 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour ๐Ÿ… starts at 4:10 pm with the sun in the southwest (236°). ๐Ÿ“ธ The sunset is in the west-southwest (243°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:53 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 16 seconds with dusk around 5:23 pm, which is one minute and 14 seconds later than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ‡ The best time to look at the stars is after 5:59 pm. At sunset, look for skies and temperatures around degrees. There will be a calm wind. Today will have 9 hours and 36 minutes of daytime, an increase of one minute and 52 seconds over yesterday.

I wanted to take the express bus in this morning, ๐ŸšŒ but that was not to be due to me leaving my laptop at home. So I had to turn around and get my laptop and there wasn’t time to catch anything but the local to work. ๐Ÿš It got me there regardless. Not an electric bus this week. ๐Ÿ”Œ Probably for the best, it wouldn’t have been a pleasant walk down to the express bus today. Haven’t used the express bus much this week, because of the weather and session days.

Things will clear out ๐ŸŒƒ as the night progresses, and freeze will occur around six pm, which could really ice up the sidewalks and untreated surfaces. Looking at a low of 28 degrees by 5 AM, prior to daybreak then warming up to the mid-30s by Saturday with clearing skies.

Tomorrow I’m thinking of walking out to Five Rivers ๐Ÿธ probably in the afternoon but it depends on the weather. The trails might be sloppy after all of the rain and slush, though I could just walk out there to watch the birds ๐Ÿฆ and get my steps in via Mead’s Lane. ๐Ÿ‘ฃ Always a nice winter walk out that way.

Looking ahead, there are 3 weeks until Clean Your Computer Day ๐Ÿงน when the sun will be setting at 5:21 pm with dusk at 5:49 pm. On that day in 2022, we had partly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 25 and 12 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 35 degrees. We hit a record high of 53 back in 1955.

 Conclusion

December 25, 2022 Morning

Good morning on this cold but clear Christmas Day! ๐ŸŽ… Partly cloudy and 17 degrees at the Elm Avenue Town Park. ๐ŸŒฅ There is a south breeze at 7 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. There are 2 inches of snow on the ground. โ˜ƒ ๏ธThings will start to thaw out at Wednesday around 11 am. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ

Out for a walk this morning at the town park ๐Ÿž. A chilly morning. I was going to walk ๐Ÿšถ out to Five Rivers via Meads Road but I’m joining my parents later today for Christmas lunch ๐Ÿฒ and I got a late start so I decided to save that hike for tomorrow and do the town park nature trail this morning.

My knee is feeling better ๐ŸงŽafter last night’s fall out walking. It was sore for a while and knee bloody but I didn’t rip my jeans ๐Ÿ‘–. I should wear a head lamp ๐Ÿ”ฆ while walking this time of year in the dark but it’s just another thing to remember and I like walking in the darkness and looking at the stars. ๐ŸŒŸ

Heat is back on most of the time in my apartment โ™จ which I’m not happy about but I will turn it down in the day time and did the best I could patch the air leaks around the door. ๐Ÿšช And I keep the thermostat as low as possible.

Christmas Day will be mostly sunny ๐ŸŒž, with a high of 26 degrees at 2pm. 10 degrees below normal. Southwest wind around 7 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. A year ago, we had rain in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. The high last year was 35 degrees. The record high of 66 was set in 1889. 19.2 inches of snow fell back in 2002.โ„

Cold โ„ by recent standards but maybe not that cold historically. Going to be in the fifties for the New Year but maybe rainy for New Years Eve. I don’t think Brookfield Horse ๐Ÿด Camp is going to happen this NYE or anywhere else but I’m still thinking Martin Luther King Jr Weekend may be good for skiing ๐ŸŽฟ although the weather may turn bitterly cold again by then.

Probably a good day for the Christmas Day bird ๐Ÿฆ count with the clear skies and less wind and more sun โ˜€ after yesterday. Saw a great big red headed woodpecker among many others in my walk through the woods. Birds certainly like the weather today more than yesterday though I’m sure they’re just bulking up on calories when it’s somewhat moderating the weather.

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 11:56 am with sun having an altitude of 24ยฐ from the due south horizon (-46.8ยฐ vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 13.5 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer.

The golden hour ๐Ÿ… starts at 3:42 pm with the sun in the southwest (230ยฐ). ๐Ÿ“ธ The sunset is in the west-southwest (238ยฐ) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 4:28 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 25 seconds with dusk around 4:59 pm, which is 37 seconds later than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ‡ At dusk you’ll see the Waxing Crescent ๐ŸŒ’ Moon in the southwest (217ยฐ) at an altitude of 15ยฐ from the horizon, 226,412 miles away. ๐Ÿš€ The best time to look at the stars is after 5:36 pm.

At sunset, look for partly clear skies ๐ŸŒƒ and temperatures around 24 degrees. There will be a west-southwest breeze at 7 mph with gusts up to 21mph. Today will have 9 hours and 6 minutes of daytime, an increase of 14 seconds over yesterday.

Listening to Peter Paul and Mary’s Moving album this morning. ๐ŸŽง I haven’t listened to it in a long time and I’m so over all things Christmas ๐Ÿคถ but now that I’ve gotten older I don’t think much about the seasons except for long weekends when I get home. I listen to the radio less and less and don’t own a television so I’m increasingly isolated from the whole holiday scene. I’m mostly focused at this point at making it through the winter months.

Tonight will be partly cloudy ๐ŸŒƒ, with a low of 12 degrees at 6am. Eight degrees below normal. Maximum wind chill around 8 at 5am; Southwest wind 3 to 8 mph. In 2021, we had light drizzle in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 34 degrees. The record low of -17 occurred back in 1914.

Weather Update – November 17, 2021

Another fairly cool and cloudy day for this GIS Day. โ›…

Probably not going to be a good day for looking at satellite ๐Ÿ›ฐ photos though maybe Terra with its morning imagery will be relatively cloud free.

The morning was a bit nicer than it is now with the clouds โ˜๏ธ pushing in and the breeze picking up ๐Ÿšถ as I walk the Plaza but it is November and that’s to be expected. They’ve gotten a bit of snow ๐ŸŒจ in the mountains but not so much locally. Looks like it won’t be too much longer before the ice rink is open on the Plaza.

Saturday I will probably stay in town ๐Ÿฆ maybe walk out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center for some bird watching. Lately though it seems like kind of a lull for birds as the seasons change.

Sunday morning I will be having the new tires put on my truck โšซ and then I’m going out to the folks house for Sunday lunch rather than dinner as I don’t like driving home in the dark. ๐Ÿฒ It’s just so difficult on those rural roads with so much traffic coming in the opposing direction. ๐Ÿš˜

Monday I am getting my truck inspected ๐Ÿ”ง so I will need to check the lights and replace any missing bulbs, but I don’t anticipate any problems once I have the new tires on.

A week from Thursday is Thanksgiving ๐Ÿฆƒ. I know the other day we were already discussing the holiday party at work, although I think it will be toned down this year due to the COVID-19.

Despite being vaccinated ๐Ÿ’‰ for some time now, I’m concerned about COVID, mainly because my friend who is an expert on such things and predicted how covid would play out over the past few years has been accurate and still is alarmed. โฐ I’ve thought about getting the booster – I’m either now or soon but I’m not sure it’s necessary. It’s not totally free in the sense that I don’t want to feel sick ๐Ÿคฎ for a day, and it seems like the initial shots are enough based on NYS Health Department research report ๐Ÿ“– I read.
