March 30, 2016 Night

Clouds are starting to crowd out the stars but it’s still 50 degrees in Delmar. Went for a nice evening walk and watched the first half hour of the PBS Newshour. Donald Trump is still a jerk. Looking for a low of 43 degrees tonight under mostly cloudy skies. But still rather mild.

Seventy degrees with increasing clouds tomorrow. Rain showers Thursday evening but warm, with temperature not expected to drop below sixty. You will be able to leave your windows open all night tomorrow. Should be a great last day of March 2016.

Sleep well. Have a great night …

March 30, 2016 Evening

It seems like it got a bit warmer than expected today with a high around 60. Since sunset, it’s dropped to about 58 but with a stiff 18 mph breeze it feels fairly cool. 44 degrees is the low under mostly clear skies tonight. The last quarter moon rises at 12:45 AM and sunrise is at 6:36 AM.

Today was a decent Hump Day as we work our day towards April and warmer temperatures or so I tell myself. In four weeks on April 28th the average high will be 63. And in 1963, it got up to 93 degrees.

That said tomorrow will be quite pleasant with temperatures expected to reach 70 degrees under partly sunny skies. Like today only better. Although, we are looking at mostly cloudy skies by tomorrow evening.

Not to be Debbie Downer, the weekend forecast sucks. Showers and 53 degrees. Possibly snow showers and a high of 33 degrees on Sunday. What a cruel April joke.

March 30, 2016 Update

Lots of sun this morning and at the 9 o’clock hour we are looking at 32 degrees as we head up to 57 degrees. Listening to Bobby Vinton’s Please Don’t Stop Loving Me as I head downtown on this sunny morning. The lack of wind and ample bright sunshine makes it feel quite warm.

Tonight in about 10 hours the sun will set around 7:20 PM with last light of the day around 7:50. Clear evening, around 50 degrees for the evening hour. I wouldn’t mind going to the park this evening, but we will see how things go at work. Without the last quarter moon rising until 12:45 AM, it will be a good night for viewing the stars, especially beyond the city lights.

Two months from now it will be Memorial Day. Seems hard to believe, especially with such cold weather predicted for the weekend.
On 1909, theΒ Queensboro BridgeΒ in New York City opens, linkingΒ ManhattanΒ and Queens. Ed Koch would be proud. That said, I like my pickup truck and I like the Chinese food in Canastota.

Happy Birthday to former Alaskan US Senator Mark Begich. A one term senator, he was a member of the Democratic party and defeated Ted Stevens who was in the middle of a major corruption scandal.

March 30, 2016 Morning

Good morning, Cold start to our Hump Day, around 29 degrees under Partly Cloudy skies. Despite the cold start, it will warm up to a pleasant 57 degrees under sunny skies. Light breeze. 50 degrees and partly cloudy around 7 PM and the low of 46 degrees by 6 AM. Sunset tonight at 7:20 PM.

Have a great Hump Day.
