We are finishing up the project. We are revising the co-authored paper. We are also fixing the video and the website. Hopefully, everything will turn out well.

The weather just got really really cold. All the trees that I have been taking pictures of lost their leaves, and its pretty sad. I went to JFK airport on Wednesday and got some footage for our video. It is very funny, and hopefully will be put to good use. I am still taking pictures and posting on ISeeChange. I am also looking at some interesting research so that we can start to write our paper.

I am still posting on the website iSee Change about the weather I am observing in Brooklyn. I am working to put the video together with Sudipta. I am also reading an article for the paper, summarizing it and writing how the strands apply.

Still watching the weather, noticing changes. I’ve been taking a ton of pictures, and recording the weather at the moment the picture was taken. Over the past weeks I’ve taken pictures of the same trees practically every day, and it is interesting to record the changes. There are hardly any leaves left, which means that winter is coming.

In terms of our project, I’m still waiting on the Park Rangers. They are terrible at returning phone calls. Thanks to Sherilyn, I am in touch with Professor Boger, and she may show us her weather stations. It would be cool to see them. I’m doing research for the paper, specifically looking into some articles about recent, noticeable weather pattern changes. I am also going to the airport to take some footage for our digital deliverable. I’m expecting it to be pretty hilarious!

I am continuing to post on almanac.org. We are trying to organize a trip to Central Park; we are in communication with the people that work there. I have been researching some information for our paper and thinking of ideas to incorporate in it. I am also thinking about and planning our digital portion of our project.

Its cold!!! This past week it rained for the first time that we’ve been observing the weather. Its interesting noticing how different the weather feels before the rain. When it finally does rain, it feels inevitable. The trees have also lost a majority of their leaves. One day they had all their leaves on them, with beautiful fall foliage everywhere, the next day the sidewalk is covered in leaves and kids are jumping into piles.

I tried calling Belvedere Castle, and like many government agencies, they are taking a long time getting back to me. I am now going to focus on the airport, and see if they’ll return my calls faster than the par Rangers.

This week began with morning temperatures in the upper thirties- practically winter weather. The days warmed up to upper forties or low fifties. Thursday was in the lower sixties, but was a very wet and rainy day. The weekend was sunny, with slight winds and clouds, but midday temperatures warmed up to low sixties, with nights at low forties.
