Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 39 degrees for the evening walk here in Delmar. Breezy, ️16 mph breeze from the northwest with gusts up to 26 mph . That wind is a bit cold now that I’m out in the open but earlier didn’t feel real cold. Temperatures will drop below freezing around 2 am. With the shit ton of salt on the sidewalks things should be good. If they only had been out earlier I could have done my morning walk and actually gotten my steps in.
What can I say, the first half of the week is done. It’s nice when it’s a Monday and your out in Madison County. Why can’t all of life be like last weekend? Its been a pretty busy week at work but I’ve been keeping things moving along. Closed out a bunch of projects and I only screwed one up today. Soon it will be time for bed .
Tonight will be mostly cloudy , with a low of 29 degrees at 5am. 14 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 24th. Northwest wind 6 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. In 2022, we had cloudy skies in the evening, which became light snow by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 20 degrees. The record low of -28 occurred back in 1971.
Tonight will have a Waining Crescent Moon with 10% illuminated. The Snow Moon is on Friday, February 3. The darkest hour is at 12:06 am, followed by dawn at 6:51 am, and sun starting to rise at 7:22 am in the east-southeast (118°) and last for 3 minutes and 16 seconds. Sunrise is 34 seconds earlier than yesterday. The golden hour ends at 8:06 am with sun in the southeast (125°).Tonight will have 14 hours and 26 minutes of darkness, a decrease of one minute and 48 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will snow, possibly mixed with rain before 5pm, then rain, snow, and sleet. High of 34 degrees at 2pm. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 4th. North wind around 5 mph becoming calm. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow and sleet accumulation of less than a half inch possible. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 35 degrees. The record high of 62 was set in 1929. 8.5 inches of snow fell back in 1886.
With weather like that expected I’m kind of glad I live in the city. Not that we ever get much snow in the city but the buses run regardless of the weather. I have to admit I’m pretty inexperienced when it comes to winter driving at this point after all these years in the city. I mean I have a big jacked up truck but I try to avoid driving it as much as possible in the winter months. That said, it’s mostly just rains in the city, especially as it has warmed so much in the past decade.
In four weeks on February 15 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (254°) at 5:28 pm, which is 36 minutes and 10 seconds later then tonight. In 2021 on that day, we had snow showers, partly cloudy and temperatures between 23 and 17 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 36 and 18 degrees. The record high of 55 degrees was set back in 2006.

few words come to mind when off-road three-wheelers are brought up in conversation, but "safe" is not one of them. You wouldn't think to take such a rig on a cross-country road trip, then, but that's probably because you aren't Matt Webb. He's trekking across Canada as we speak—in the winter—on a Honda Big Red, all in memory of a departed friend. He also hopes to set a Guinness World Record in the process.
"Twenty years ago, I worked for a guy and my first purchase after getting that paycheck was a Big Red 250," Webb told me over the phone. "I drove that thing back and forth to work for a year."
So, how come so many individual anti-conformists end up looking alike? It’s called the “hipster effect,” and a study from Brandeis University mathematician Jonathan Touboul explains how it happens.
It’s not just an issue of visual fashion, by the way. As Touboul tells Technology Review, “Beyond the choice of the best suit to wear this winter, this study may have important implications in understanding synchronization of nerve cells, investment strategies in finance, or emergent dynamics in social science.”
The pioneers poured in from New England in droves after 1800 to settle this new land in upstate New York then known as the "Western Country," and one of the primary paths they followed was the Cherry Valley Turnpike.
This road, which is more than 200 years old, is today's Route 20 from Albany to Cazenovia, and Route 92 from there to Manlius. Here it connected with the south branch of the Seneca Turnpike.
Building such a lengthy road more than 70 miles long through the wilderness was a tremendous undertaking, requiring large sums of capital and manpower. Eventually, the promoters were able to secure both, but not without considerable effort and more than $100,000 in capital. The initial goal was to construct a highway from the old Revolutionary War frontier settlement of Cherry Valley, westward.
The Third Great Western Turnpike Company was chartered by the State of New York Legislature in 1803, and was organized on Nov. 16th of that year. The name was derived from the fact that the First Great Western Turnpike was from Albany to Duanesburg and the Second Great Western was from there to Cherry Valley. Eventually, this system of roads was nicknamed the Cherry Valley Turnpike.
