Good morning! Clouds after the rain and 37 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ˜” There is a south-southeast breeze at 6 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. There are 6 inches of snow on the ground. โ˜ƒ ๏ธTemperatures will drop below freezing at around 11 pm. โ˜ƒ๏ธ

It was raining โ˜” out at six o’clock so I’m taking the earlier express bus ๐Ÿš down from the Park and Ride and will walk ๐Ÿšถ inside the Concourse before work. It looks like Saturday is going to be the challenging day to get in my steps especially if it rains most of the day rather than snow. I’ll do my best to keep up my progress though.

Today will rain likely, mainly before 10am. Mostly cloudy โ›… , with a high of 46 degrees at 1pm. Six degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 18th. South wind 5 to 10 mph becoming northwest 13 to 18 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 28 mph. So much for it being a bitterly cold weekend. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

A six foot person will cast a 7.1 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour ๐Ÿ… starts at 5:08 pm with the sun in the west-southwest (255°). ๐Ÿ“ธ

Walking ๐Ÿšถ inside the the Plaza is fine but I’m hoping for some more sun โ˜€ by afternoon so I can walk outside maybe up to Washington Park ๐Ÿž and get some fresh air. I probably could have walked outside this morning ๐ŸŒ… but it’s always cold and windy ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ on the Plaza whd this morning is just damp from the recent rain.

The sunset is in the west (261°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 5:46 pm after setting for 2 minutes and 56 seconds with dusk around 6:14 pm, which is one minute and 13 seconds later than yesterday. ๐ŸŒ‡ At dusk you’ll see the Waxing Gibbous ๐ŸŒ” Moon in the east-southeast (104°) at an altitude of 54° from the horizon, 251,768 miles away. ๐Ÿš€ The best time to look at the stars is after 6:47 pm.

Today will have 11 hours and 19 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 50 seconds over yesterday.

Yesterday was pretty much normal, ๐Ÿคท‍โ™‚๏ธ quiet for a while at work then busy. I’m continuing to read ๐Ÿ“– and study up on machine learning. It’s in some ways a lot more boring ๐Ÿ’ค than you might think but I’m leaning some interesting techniques for classifying data. I did enjoy the sun streaming into my office though in the morning. That won’t be the case today unfortunately.

Tonight will be partly cloudy ๐ŸŒค, with a low of 25 degrees at 6am. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 11th. Blustery, with a northwest wind 10 to 20 mph. In 2022, we had cloudy skies. It got down to 19 degrees. The record low of -10 occurred back in 1950.

Today in 1989, Twelve European Community nations agree to ban the production of all chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) ๐Ÿ’ข by the end of the century. We’ve moved through a few generations of refrigerants now, with low global warming potential refrigerants the future. Believe it or not back in the day, CFCs were not regularly captured upon disposal, leaking the refrigerants into the atmosphere.

Right now, a split verdict on the weekend. ๐Ÿ˜• Saturday, snow before 10am, then snow showers, possibly mixed with rain between 10am and 1pm, then rain showers likely after 1pm. High near 38. East wind 6 to 11 mph becoming north in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

Looking ahead, there are 8 weeks until Arbor Day ๐ŸŒณ when the sun will be setting at 7:52 pm with dusk at 8:20 pm (Daylight Savings Time). Often I’m up in the Adirondacks that weekend but I’m thinking more Cazenovia for Easter Weekend. On that day in 2022, we had partly cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 63 and 36 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 65 degrees. We hit a record high of 91 back in 1962.

March 1, 2023 Morning

Good morning! What day is it? Metrological spring of course. ๐ŸŒธ But I expect we will have to wait six or seven weeks before that’s really meaningful in Albany. Especially as they keep promising a cold spring until that’s no longer the case.

It’s March ๐Ÿ—“ a month that often quickly leads to April ๐ŸŒท or do I like to tell myself. In two weeks the morning walk will be a lot more dark assuming that I don’t change when I walk ๐Ÿšถ which may be necessary for a few weeks. But brighter evenings are nice.

Partly clear with a colorful sunrise ๐ŸŒ… around 27 degrees for the morning walk ๐Ÿšถ in Delmar. Some snow fog in the air from the moisture from yesterday’s mini snow storm.

February 28, 2023 Morning

Good morning! It’s the dire winter emergency according to the morning news. I mean there is some snow and ice on the secondary roads but the sidewalks are clear and I’m out for my morning walk on this Tuesday. ๐Ÿšถ

Overcast and 27 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ˜๏ธThere is a east-southeast breeze at 10 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. There is maybe 4 inches of snow on the ground. โ˜ƒ ๏ธThings will start to thaw out at around 1 pm. ๐ŸŒก๏ธ

So I was worried about the snow interfering with my morning walk ๐Ÿ‘ฃ but it stopped early and the sidewalks and roads are pretty much clear locally. Maybe it’s the valley snow shadow they were talking about. Truth is it’s a pretty nice morning, not real cold. But then again the average high for this time of year is 40. Depending on how much more snow we get later and how warm it gets today I could see wet sidewalks by evening and bare by tomorrow morning.

Maybe the express bus ๐Ÿš from Voorheesville will be a bit late ๐Ÿšbut I will get ready and watch it on the map ๐Ÿ—บ from inside and head out when it gets to Slingerlands. I live in the city, what do I care?

High noon

February 27, 2023 Night

Good evening! Clouds but no snow yet and 33 degrees at the Elm Ave Park and Ride. โ„ There is a southeast breeze at 10 mph. ๐Ÿƒ. There is an inch of snow on the ground. โ˜ƒ ๏ธThe skies will clear tomorrow around 7 pm after the snow ends.

My thought ๐Ÿ’ญ tonight is the best laid plans don’t always work out. I was so excited that the DVD ๐Ÿ“€ drive enclosure arrived in the mail โœ‰ today but when I opened it up I discovered it was for the wrong type of drive. It was only $11.50 and I can probably use the case for something else I guess.

I was so hoping to get the voter file ๐Ÿ—ณ open that the State Board sent me on a DVD ๐Ÿ“€ – I actually got the DVD to play on the drive installed on my computer but alas like on the work computer had previously confirmed they sent me a DVD that wasn’t properly written. I also discovered that the built in DVD drive drawer on my computer is broken but I did figure out a way to load disks by manually opening the drive and installing it after disabling the other partition in fstab.

I’m not going to go back to the board for the file. ๐Ÿ“‚ It just didn’t work out but I guess I probably wouldn’t have discovered much using machine learning to better understand voting patterns. I don’t know enough about machine learning and my computer isn’t that powerful and 318 EDs really isn’t enough to train things well especially if the districts are so blue in much of the county. Statewide data would be better but that a lot of processing.

I am going to still continue to learn about machine learning ๐Ÿค– aa I have a few books ๐Ÿ“š out of the library and I am going through the Stat Quest video series on YouTube. I’m sure there are many other ways I can use machine learning in statistics and map making. Plus it’s safer, no risk of running into trouble with work or building something with the voter file that isn’t allowed.

Tonight will snow, mainly after 10pm. The snow could be heavy at times. ๐ŸŒจ Low of 26 degrees at 4am. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 15th.

It’s going to snow, it’s winter. โ˜ƒ Probably not good for the morning walk ๐Ÿšถ but I’ll get up at my normal time and do my best to keep moving. If it’s bad out I won’t do it but I’ll at least catch an earlier bus ๐Ÿš in so I’m in bright and early. I’ve had a 40 day run of 10,000 plus steps or 5 plus miles a day but if the weather interrupts my progress it will be but for a day or two.

Tonight will have a First Quarter ๐ŸŒ“ Moon with 56% illuminated.

While it’s February for one more morning after today, ๐ŸŒจ the sun is rising and the days getting longer. I guess we are getting snow tomorrow but Big Red is parked until Sunday and hopefully it won’t impact my morning walk come tomorrow. ๐Ÿ‘ฃ But onwards to a new week. I will bring my laptop home tomorrow in case it’s a work from home day due to the snow. I doubt it. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Smells like I have a dead mouse ๐Ÿญ in my apartment. I’ll have to see if I can figure out where it is. I just cleaned out the bucket trap last night so maybe it’s somewhere around there. Kind of chilly inside too – with yesterday’s warm sunny weather in the afternoon I backed the heat down and I felt that when I climbed out from the heated sheets this morning. โ™จ I’m so ready to turn off the heat and have the windows open again. Such days might not be that far off.

Solar noon ๐ŸŒž is at 12:09 pm with sun having an altitude of 39ยฐ from the due south horizon (-31.8ยฐ vs. 6/21).

I’m not sure if this is a pay week or not ๐Ÿ’ต but after breakfast ๐Ÿณ it’s off to shower ๐Ÿšฟ iron my shirt ๐Ÿ‘š and then the express downtown. ๐Ÿข Make some money, save for a better tomorrow and keep moving forward.

It will snow or maybe it won’t. โ„ It’s winter for a few more whacks weeks. I think I cracked my skis ๐ŸŽฟ so I’m not sure if I can do much in the way of skiing but at this point I don’t really care. Who knows how much snow will be left come the weekend, it’s March and it won’t last long.

Cool but sunny for the start of the weekend and then more clouds. ๐ŸŒฅ Saturday, partly sunny, with a high near 34. Sunday, mostly cloudy, with a high near 37. Typical average high for the weekend is 41 degrees. In like a lion ๐Ÿฆ.
