March 23, 2023 Morning

Good morning! Happy Thursday. Clouds and 46 degrees for the morning walk here in Delmar, NY. 🌥 There is a south-southeast breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. Rsin maybe later or maybe not.

Oatmeal 🥣 for breakfast and now out for the morning walk 🚶 listening to that John Prine record. 💿 Dark morning with rain pushing in ☔ or maybe not. I still think there is a good chance I’ll get my steps 👣 in for the day. Warm enough this morning the joggers are out 🏃 and the birds are singing. 🐦 Looks like Saturday it might dip below freezing early but I’m not likely to need my heat until October or maybe November at this point.

Today will have showers likely, mainly between 2pm and 3pm. Cloudy 🌦, with a high of 58 degrees at 5pm. 10 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 12th. Maximum dew point of 49 at 3pm. South wind 8 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 47 degrees. The record high of 80 was set in 1938. 6.1 inches of snow fell back in 2020.❄

It was nice yesterday to have the windows open 🔲 while I was at work to let the fresh air in though I closed them before bed 🛏 as it cooled down. That said warmer days aren’t far away. Once it warms up a bit more I might stop wearing the muzzle so much but the other day after I got on the elevator a Republican hopped on and was coughing and sounded quite sick. 😷 I’m sure he probably wasn’t vaccinated and at this point my COVID-19 booster is probably wearing down. But I figure with the warmer weather the risk of colds and the COVID-19 drop way down plus my muzzles are getting worn out and I’m sure I’ll want them come the autumn.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 1:03 pm with sun having an altitude of 48.3° from the due south horizon (-22.5° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 5.3 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 6:34 pm with the sun in the west (266°). 📸

The sunset is in the west (272°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:11 pm after setting for 2 minutes and 54 seconds with dusk around 7:38 pm, which is one minute and 10 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At dusk you’ll see the Waxing Crescent 🌒 Moon in the west (266°) at an altitude of 22° from the horizon, 236,707 miles away. 🚀 The best time to look at the stars is after 8:12 pm. At sunset, look for rain 🌧 and temperatures around 54 degrees. The dew point will be 49 degrees. There will be a northwest breeze at 14 mph. Today will have 12 hours and 23 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 54 seconds over yesterday.

Got down to the park 🏞 after a quick dinner finishing off the remaining brown rice 🍚 lentils and carrots 🥕 I had made up. It was early enough I was able add some extra steps by walking 🚶 a few laps of the nature trail before it was getting dark and time to go home. In bed at 8 which is good because I woke up during the night for a while. 🛏 I really need a night or two in the wilderness with a rip roaring fire 🔥 to restore my sleep.

Tonight will have a chance of showers, mainly before 9pm. Cloudy, then gradually becoming partly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 35 degrees at 6am. Six degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 10th. Northwest wind 15 to 17 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%.

The record low of 0 occurred back in 1875.

I’ve been debugging the new style sheet with the blog, 📝 which the responsive design mode hasn’t been perfect on all displays. That said, I think I’ve mostly worked out the major bugs. One of the issues I’ve had with is caching of the styles which cause a mix of the old and new to display, but I figured out a way to force the browsers to refresh it every time I change stylesheet by including the version number in the fetch for the style sheet.

Saturday still looks rainy ☔. Saturday, rain showers and snow showers, possibly mixed with sleet, becoming all rain after 2pm. High near 41. Southeast wind 6 to 11 mph increasing to 12 to 17 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Going to make the Saturday walk fun. Wear the rain coat I guess. Better Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 49. ☀ Typical average high for the weekend is 49 degrees.

Looking ahead, there are 5 weeks until Arbor Day 🌳 when the sun will be setting at 7:52 pm with dusk at 8:20 pm.

March 21, 2023 Morning

Good morning! Cool and clear start to the Tuesday. Partly clear 🌅 and 29 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. Things will start to thaw out at around 8 am. 🌡️

I’ll be the first to admit that it is a cold start to the morning with the heat off 🌸 but it’s spring and I’m not going to pay for heat if there is no danger of pipes freezing or excessive cold. Indeed this afternoon it should be in the mid 50s. That said, I was pleasantly surprised when I checked my February – March electric and gas bill was only $85. Heating blanket boosted the electric side of things a bit but keeping it at 48 except the coldest days helped a lot. 💵 I was expecting a little bit over $100 for the bill like the January – February bill with the cold we had mid February.

Today will be mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny ☁, with a high of 56 degrees at 3pm. Nine degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 8th. Light and variable wind becoming west 6 to 11 mph in the morning. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 55 degrees. The record high of 78 was set in 1921. 6 inches of snow fell back in 1905.❄

What can I say, it’s going to be a a nice day. 🏢 Too bad I’m going to be in the office all day downtown. Now if we could only have another pandemic and I could be remote working from my truck at Five Rivers Environmental Education Center like I was three years ago. 🐦 Watching the birds while I wrote the memos 📝 and endless Zoom meetings. Those were the days.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 1:03 pm with sun having an altitude of 47.6° from the due south horizon (-23.3° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 5.5 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 6:31 pm with the sun in the west (265°). 📸

I cooked up some of the wild salmon I bought on Sunday. 🐠 I have to say it was tasty. And easier to cook than fish sticks or breaded fish filets. Healthier too. I don’t know why I had never done it before, you just take it out of the freezer in the morning, toss it in the refrigerator before work. Then in the oven broccoli 🥦 and also brown rice with lentils and seasonings – chilli 🌶 powder and garlic powder. Being individually vaccum wrapped its more plastic than I would like but I’ve cut plastic out in other ways like not buying apple juice or as much milk and it’s a lightweight plastic bag that should make an excellent fire starter especially with the fish oils. 🔥 Really easy to bale that plastic wrap into a tight ball ⚽. Cost wise, it’s slightly more expensive but the portions are perfect and actually save money by ensuring you only eat the right amount as the rest is frozen and can’t be eaten right away. 💵

The sunset is in the west (271°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:09 pm after setting for 2 minutes and 54 seconds with dusk around 7:36 pm, which is one minute and 9 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 8:10 pm. At sunset, look for partly cloudy skies 🌃 and temperatures around 47 degrees. There will be a north-northwest breeze at 7 mph. Today will have 12 hours and 17 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 54 seconds over yesterday.

Last night I went to the Elm Ave Park 🏞 and walked until dusk 🌆 which was nice for the first time after work this year. 🚶 It helps to get in the extra steps 👣 and it’s fun to walk in the woods around dusk 🦉 and see what wildlife is out there. Still though not a lot of evening after dinner but it’s good to get to bed relatively early.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 31 degrees at 5am. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 30th. North wind around 6 mph becoming calm in the evening. In 2022, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 29 degrees. The record low of 2 occurred back in 1875.

Finished my taxes last night, 📝 and while checking the paper forms for my state taxes noticed that I hadn’t reported any Capital Gains on my federal taxes, panicked for a minute and double checked my investment statement and confirmed no capital gains received this past year as the market ended down 📉 so much this past year. I didn’t sell anything this year but in better years I do get some capital gains just from the index funds that sell off parts at times to make sure they are still accurately tracking the market. But not in 2022, as most of the leading stocks were down. Got lots of dividends though but I prepaid enough to cover them. I filed 📂 my federal taxes online but did paper state taxes as the state ones are simple as I’m a renter but not super poor so I don’t have any real state tax credits except for my contributions to my neices education account.

Not a particularly nice weekend on tap. 😞 Saturday, rain likely, possibly mixed with snow, becoming all rain after 8am. Cloudy, with a high near 40. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Sunday, a chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 47. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Typical average high for the weekend is 49 degrees.

I was hoping that the upcoming weekend would be warm and sunny ⛺ for camping at Rennselearville State Forest but I don’t think it’s likely. I was figuring the fire risk would be low if there is snow on the ground. The fire ban applies only to brush burning not campfires kept small and in eye sight. 🔥

Looking ahead, next Tuesday is Average High is 50 🌸 when the sun will be setting at 7:17 pm with dusk at 7:44 pm. On that day in 2022, we had cold weather, partly cloudy skies and temperatures between 27 and 18 degrees. Debbie downer. We hit a record high of 85 back in 1945.

March 12, 2023 Morning

Good morning! Mostly sunny and 29 degrees at the Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. There is a north breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. There are 1.5 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at around 9 am. 🌡️

Got a fairly early start this morning 🌅 to walk out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center to embrace as much of the time change as much as possible. I don’t want to get into the habit of sleeping in 🛏 but continuing to get up early and doing my walk. Plus it’s a nice morning with a giant sunrise about a half hour after I started my walk at 6:45 after having a good pan 🍳 of eggs 🥚 and lots of vegetables. I’m mostly out of fruit so it was eggs today. Little less healthy then recent days but I’ll get plenty of steps today. 👣

I figure it’s best to walk early before the woods is soft and muddy, 🌞 as I’m sure the case will be by afternoon. Yesterday afternoon was nicer than expected but I stuck to my plan of going to the library 📚 in the afternoon because with the melting snow and mud it wouldn’t be a good day to go to Five Rivers plus this morning looked so nice.

Today will have increasing clouds ☀ ➡ ☁, with a high of 45 degrees at 4pm. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 15th.

The record high of 69 was set in 2012. 30.4 inches of snow fell back in 1888.❄

Red winged black birds 🐦 are out but not in real big numbers yet as are the morning doves 🕊 and red headed woodpeckers. It was early enough this morning that Meads cows 🐮 were all piled up in the cold sleeping and chewing their cud. No spring peepers 🐸 yet though ice is mostly off the ponds at this point.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 1:06 pm with sun having an altitude of 44° from the due south horizon (-26.8° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 6.2 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 6:21 pm with the sun in the west (260°). 📸

The sunset is in the west (266°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 6:58 pm after setting for 2 minutes and 54 seconds with dusk around 7:26 pm, which is one minute and 11 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 7:59 pm.

It got down to 18 degrees. The record low of -6 occurred back in 1885.

Maybe snow 🌨 or rain ☔ come Monday night into Tuesday but I think it might be too warm in the city to add up to much. Plus it’s March and if it’s pushing fifty with rain come Friday it will be gone come the weekend. I’m fine with that. I have a family 👪 event to go to next weekend so I can’t get out of town this weekend but maybe the following weekend. My truck is due for service fairly soon – oil change, transmission fluid and tire rotation come April before I start doing any big trips but Rennselearville isn’t too far for a weekend trip.

Today in 1933, was the first of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s fireside chats. 📻 Back when everybody listened to the radio for their news and entertainment. You can still listen to them on the interwebs if you are curious.

As previously noted, next Sunday is Last Day of Winter 🏂 when the sun will be setting at 7:07 pm with dusk at 7:34 pm. On that day in 2022, we had cloudy, warm, rain showers and temperatures between 63 and 43 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 46 degrees. We hit a record high of 78 back in 2012.

March 9, 2023 Morning

And so the cycle repeats. 🔴 Like a red rubber ball. Cold start to the morning but it’s still March. Going to be so dark come next week but I’ve already been practicing getting to bed 🛏 earlier. Today assuming that I finish up my 10,000 steps 👣 it will mark a 50 day straight run of walking my goal 🥅 though most days I beat my goal. Session day but I was out walking 🚶 early and there is no reason why I can’t do an evening walk 🌃 too.

I don’t think it will reach into the eighties today, 🏖 but I remember those days well and the big ol fire 🔥 I had up at Burnt Rossman that weekend. It was beautiful weekend that week, no snow and not bone dry either as it rained a few days before.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:07 pm with sun having an altitude of 42.8° from the due south horizon (-28° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 6.5 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 5:17 pm with the sun in the west-southwest (258°). 📸

I was annoyed that the remaining oranges I had bought 🍊 just this week went soft and moldy by Wednesday. I checked them at the store 🏬 and they were good there. Two weeks in a row, once at Wally World and the other at Hannaford. I guess I need pigs 🐽 and chickens 🐔 to eat them. Regardless, I think they must be getting out of season. I have sufficient apples 🍏 and bananas 🍌 at work to make it through the week though and frozen fruit at home. I missed the farmers market this week to get potatoes 🥔 and mushrooms 🍄 yesterday which is annoying.

The sunset is in the west (265°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 5:55 pm after setting for 2 minutes and 54 seconds with dusk around 6:22 pm, which is one minute and 12 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 6:55 pm.

I finally fixed the button on my salmon pink dress shirt 👚that popped off in January. I didn’t have any needles I could find 🪡 and then I got busy and forgot about it as I had recently bought additional shirts but I kind of like that shirt.

March 2, 2023 Evening

Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 36 degrees in Delmar for the evening walk. ☁ There is a northwest breeze at 15 mph. 🍃 with gusts up to 31 mph 💨💨💨. There are 5 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 10 pm. ☃️

Another Thursday evening 🌃 has come. Tomorrow will be Friday and I guess there is another snow storm coming for Saturday. I’m tired of winter but my hope is this will be the final last big blast. Or maybe not. It could be a bust depending on the model you consider. 🌨

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌟 , with a low of 24 degrees at 6am. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 8th. Northwest wind 7 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. In 2022, we had cloudy skies. It got down to 19 degrees. The record low of -10 occurred back in 1950.

Tonight will have a Waxing Gibbous 🌔 Moon with 82% illuminated. At 7 PM, the moon was in the east-southeast (115°) at an altitude of 62° from the horizon, some 251,794 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by September 9^th. Buckle up for safety! 💺.

The Worm 🐛 Moon is on Tuesday, March 7. The darkest hour is at 12:09 am, followed by dawn at 6:03 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:31 am in the east (99°) and last for 2 minutes and 56 seconds.

Tonight will have 12 hours and 38 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 51 seconds over last night.

Earlier today I did my net worth calculation 💵 and I am finally above water again as I’ve saved some more money and the markets have partially rebounded. 📊 That said, I’m looking at the market fundamentals and corporate profits and the inability of the fed to slow inflation much, I think it might be a another bad year in the market. But I guess I’m acquiring assets for less now that will grow.

Tomorrow will have increasing clouds ☀ 👉 ☁, with a high of 40 degrees at 4pm. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 1st. North wind around 6 mph becoming calm. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 43 degrees. The record high of 64 was set in 2002. 10.9 inches of snow fell back in 1994.❄

In four weeks on March 30 the sun will be setting in the west (276°) at 7:20 pm (Daylight Savings Time),🌄 which is one hour, 32 minutes and 54 seconds later then tonight. In 2021 on that day, we had mostly sunny and temperatures between 60 and 23 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 51 and 31 degrees. The record high of 86 degrees was set back in 1986.

While I’ll probably be working late on March 30th 🗓 I am thinking by then I’ll be able many nights be able to walk down to the park 🏞 and read after work. 📖 Figure by then even at quarter to eight 8⃣ there will be some daylight.

Looking ahead, Arbor Day 🌳 is in 8 weeks, 8:30 PM Dusk 🌆 is in 9 weeks, 8 PM Sunset 🌇 is in 9 weeks, 9 PM Dusk 🌆 is in 13 weeks, June 🍹 is in 13 weeks, 8:30 PM Sunset 🌇 is in 14 weeks, Ugly Truck Day 🚚 is in 20 weeks, Campfire Day 🔥 is in 22 weeks, Columbus Day 🛥️ is in 32 weeks, Average High is 60 🍂 is in 33 weeks, Thanksgiving 🦃 is in 38 weeks, First Day of Winter ☃️ is in 42 weeks and 4:30 PM Sunset 🌆 is in 43 weeks.

February 20, 2023 Morning

Good morning! Cloudy and 36 degrees at the Moscow Hill Camping Area. 🌥 There is a south-southwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 5 pm. ☃️

The past few days I’ve decided to take a break from social media and the blog 📜 so I can spend more time in the woods hiking and thinking, 👂 listening to podcasts and drinking 🍻 beer and being away from it all. Two nights is never enough, especially since I got used to remote work from camp. I could have taken tomorrow off but rain is coming.

I was on the fence about where to this long weekend ⛺ but settled on Brookfield as there was more trails I wanted to explore and the forecast while cloudy for Sunday and today looked less wet. I had been at Rennselearville State Forest three weekends ago and wanted to mix things up especially so I didn’t burn up too much firewood. Plus I like the rural landscape 🚜 heading out to Brookfield. Longer drive though but a pleasant one.

Saturday I walked around Glimmerglass State Park 🏞 and it was cold by the lake but in the woods with the wind 🍃 blocked by the mountains it wasn’t so bad. I didn’t stick around very long as such. Deep blue skies and a pretty sunset 🌇. Got to Moscow Hill Horse Camp 🐴 and set up camp then hiked over to Elmer’s Place and then bushwhacked over Grassy Hill trying to find a good view which didn’t exist but I did flush out a ton of grouse. 🕊

By the time I got back to camp it was 6:10 and nearly pitch black but I had previously gathered firewood, set up the lights and propane, 🏮 had everything ready to go so it was a pleasant night. Had a big fire 🔥 though it was smokey at times due to all the wet wood, wet stuff in the burnables as I’ve been eating healthier. Heard a local fire station whistle go of 🚒🧑‍🚒 and thought I might have some unplanned visitors but no it was some other call. This place isn’t as remote as some places I camp. ⛺ Forgot to buy lighter fluid but once I got the somewhat damp and frozen wood going it burned well but was sparky until the wind died out. Saturday was a star filled night ✨ and very mild which was nice.

Sunday was cloudy and breezy at times 🌬️ especially up on the hills. I hiked the bulk of the day, visiting most of the outer truck trails at Charles Baker State Forest 🌲🌳🌲 as I didn’t want to hike muddy horse trails. Checked out the Elmer Spring Campsite which is remote but accessible by vehicle and is really nice and private. ⛺ Hiked the Ledges Trail which was kind of interesting as was Truck Trail 7 which is cut into a ledge on the side of the mountain ⛰️. Icy in spots especially on the road but cold enough even the horse 🐴 trails weren’t too icy.

For today, Washington’s Birthday will have showers likely, mainly before 11am. Cloudy 🌦, with a high of 40 degrees at 11am. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 28th. Not bad for the high country in in. Just wearing the vest. Southwest wind 9 to 13 mph becoming northwest in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 28 degrees. The record high of 66 was set in 1930. 11.2 inches of snow fell back in 1977.❄

While it hasn’t been sunny ☁️ the mid weather has been nice. Not having to deal with frozen water 💦, frozen food like milk 🥛 or eggs 🥚 is good for a change. The batteries are healthy and happy 😊 in my truck 🔋, I haven’t had to start the truck all weekend long. Used the propane heater ♨ a lot less than I have in recent trips, no icy propane lines to deal with. But it’s been cold enough that things have remained generally frozen in the ground, keeping the trails from being too muddy.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:16 pm with sun having an altitude of 36.2° from the due south horizon (-34.4° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 8.2 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 5:01 pm with the sun in the west-southwest (249°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-southwest (256°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 5:40 pm after setting for 3 minutes with dusk around 6:07 pm, which is one minute and 17 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At dusk you’ll see the Waxing Crescent 🌒 Moon in the west-southwest (253°) at an altitude of 2° from the horizon, 228,419 miles away. 🚀 The best time to look at the stars is after 6:41 pm. At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies ☁ and temperatures around 34 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 10 mph. Today will have 10 hours and 50 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 47 seconds over yesterday.

Today I decided to hike back and explore a few more ponds 🐸 in the northern part of the state forest. Then midday head back home. I figure enjoy and explore as much of the land while I’m here. Then I’ll have to head home. I thought about taking Tuesday off but it looks like rain ☔ and maybe snow here.

Tonight will have a slight chance of snow showers after 4am. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 23 degrees at 2am. Four degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 5th. Maximum wind chill around 17 at 4am; Northwest wind 5 to 8 mph becoming calm. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2022, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 13 degrees. The record low of -10 occurred back in 2015.

Planning to go out and see the folks 👪 when I get home, that is after showering 🚿 and unpacking. Then I want to run to the car wash 🚙 and then Walmart for fruit and vegetables for the upcoming week. 🍏

Brookfield looks cold and snowy for next weekend. 🌨 But I got my fun in. Saturday, a chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 25. Chance of precipitation is 40%. Sunday, a chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 34. Breezy. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Typical average high for the weekend is 39 degrees.

I don’t necessarily plan on being back to Brookfield anytime soon though I might do my April trip to Cazenovia rather than the Adirondacks East Branch Sacandaga River for a change. 🗻 Easter is late this year and depending on how mild the spring is things could be greening up by then. Probably few black flies up north 🐜 but I’ve been itching to do the Gorge Rail Trail is Cazenovia – Canestota for some time again. March maybe a camping trip ⛺ to Rennselearville State Forest again or Burnt Rossman. Depends on how much snow. It will be after the time change at this point.

Looking ahead, there are 7 weeks until 8 PM Dusk 🌆 when the sun will be setting at 7:39 pm with dusk at 8:06 pm (Daylight Savings Time) in Brookfield. Earlier back in Albany. On that day in 2022, we had partly cloudy, warm and temperatures between 74 and 49 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 57 degrees. Thinking spring thoughts 💭 on this cloudy but mild morning. We hit a record high of 86 back in 1922.
