Good Christmas Evening! Partly clear and 13 degrees in Delmar. There is a south breeze at 8 mph. . The current wind chill is 2. There is a inch of snow on the ground. οΈThings will start to thaw out at Wednesday around noontime.
The party at my parents house was postponed until Monday due to my sister not being able to come out due to bad roads up north from the ice. I did drive to Price Chopper and got a few things. Had that issue with the lock freezing up. Also set the solar controller down so it will start charging the starting battery at a lower voltage in the cold of winter. This should ensure the starting battery is fully charged when parked for a prolonged time parked in the winter.
Walked around Five Rivers for a while it was cold but there wasnβt a lot of people around so that as nice. Did 20,000 steps today so Iβm working on my goal again for the steps. Iβve been bad lately.
Skinned up my knee on my evening walk in the dark on black ice or maybe white ice. What do I know it was dark and now it hurts. Cold out but not that bad when you are moving. I hear the heat on downstairs. Stars though tonight are pretty but Iβm sure in the mountains too cold for camping . Maybe next weekend.

Going to be a cold day today. See what happens when you vote for a President who said theyβd end global warming. Fortunately I think I voted for whoever the crazy libertarian was in 2020. Heck in 2015, on Christmas Day I hiked at Glimmerglass State Park and then camped at the upper camp at Brookfield State Forest. Yes, there was that little snow and it was that mild, that I could drive up there with no issues.
I am considering hiking out to Five Rivers today. I will bring my microspikes. Itβs going to be a cold day, but I can bundle up and I really should get my steps in, Iβve fallen so far behind in recent weeks. The snow is frozen hard, and is compacted so I donβt think Iβll need my skis at this point, which makes it easier, especially if I donβt want to drive. I do need to get razors to shave, so I might end up running to the store later on, though Iβm not sure they may close early on Christmas Eve.
