That was a pretty good snow squall earlier ☃️

Probably not a day for riding in. Maybe in the evening I’ll walk laps in the Plaza as I didn’t get a real early start, my thoughts drifting into the news of the day and I got reading the newspapers and magazines on my phone.

The day before my forty second birthday 🎂, riding the express bus downtown. The clouds push across the sun and wind blows 🌬️ the snow 🌨️ as the salt spreaders do their thing. Going to get progressively colder as the day goes on. Then a few inches of snow for my birthday but so mild that it won’t stick on the roads or last long. Then rain for Friday. Maybe it will be back on the bike trail 🚲 come next Monday. I don’t mind the cold but I do not like that wind, especially when I’m riding up Erie Boulevard where there is zero protection from the wind. 🥶

I got thinking about the issues I was having linking some of the records 💾 yesterday and figured out a solution that will work. Then next week it’s moving onwards to the February update of the database. I do not love the month of February ♥️ and will be glad when it’s done. I’m hoping to get out to Madison County for President’s Day Weekend but a lot depends on the weather. 🏕️ Can’t be too much snow, too cold or rain. So that rules out three fifths of the winter. I’m looking forward to warmer weather come April and getting up to the East Branch Scandaga. 🔥 Mostly for that big bonfire I’m planning but also I really like it up there despite the road noise, wandering around Fox Lair 🦊 and the Simease Pond Wilderness. 🌄
