A good song for this very winter like morning.
Good morning! Definitely a cooler morning walking down to the express bus at the Park and Ride. Now it’s partly cloudy and 31 degrees in Delmar. Breezy, 17 mph breeze from the west-northwest. The current wind chill is 20. The sun definitely helps a bit but it’s still a cool November day.
Despite the chilly conditions, I bundled up and hiked down to the Park and Ride. Certainly the express bus is a more pleasant way to go to work especially with the scenic views of the Empire State Plaza from the South Mall Arterial. A nice fairly new bus today that is reasonably warm.
Today will have a slight chance of snow showers before noon. Partly sunny, with a high of 35 degrees at 1pm. 10 degrees below normal. Breezy, with a northwest wind 17 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. Last year, mostly cloudy with a high around 51. The record high of 70 was set in 1931. There was 9.1 inches of snow back in 1943.
We are now forty days from New Year’s Day. I know I’m ready for a fresh start, especially after the rather ugly year of 2016.
The sun will set at 4:26 pm with dusk around 4:57 pm, which is 37 seconds earlier than yesterday. Today will have 9 hours and 29 minutes of daylight, a decrease of 1 minutes and 48 seconds over yesterday.
Tonight will be partly cloudy, with a low of 26 degrees at 5am. Four degrees below normal. Northwest wind 10 to 15 mph. One year ago, mostly clear with a low around 22. The record low of 5 occurred back in 1972.
Fifty-three years ago today, President John F. Kennedy would be shot and killed on his tragic trip to Dallas, Texas. Certainly that was a rather sad day in our nation’s history.
There are 1 weeks until Square Dance Day when the sun will be setting at 4:23 pm with dusk at 4:54 pm. The average high temperature is 42 degrees, with a record high of 66 in 2005. I remember doing square dancing in elementary school gym classes, I think to Credence Clearwater Revival’s Green River. Which seems strange now but maybe I remember wrong. Memories fade as time goes by.
I got chatting in the office yesterday, and it came up in conversation that it will be my tenth company Christmas party I’ve been too. It’s remarkable to think I’m going on the tenth year of doing something when our world seems to be changing so quickly.
Still thinking about laptops. I’ve decided on many grounds that the Lenovo Flex laptop is not right for me. I’ve pretty much decided that I want a fairly budget laptop with a 1920×1040 screen and that I will put in a 512 GB SSD drive. That way I can start fresh with a fast hard drive, and save the drive with Microsoft Windows 10, should I ever have the need to boot into it. Swapping drives on most laptops seems pretty easy to do. IΒ will settle for 6 GB of RAM although more would be preferable. That said, I’m kind of back at ground zero, and still don’t have a laptop.
Have a great day! Bundle up and stay warm outdoors!
Good morning! Today is the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Going to be a rather cold one. Mostly cloudy and 30 degrees in Delmar. Breezy, 17 mph breeze from the west-northwest. I can here the wind whipping around outside. The current wind chill is 18.
Watch out for the snow band stuck over the Northern Catskills. Should it push north it could mean a messy commute. Otherwise, we are looking at skies clearing around 8 am.
For today we will continue to have a slight chance of snow showers before noon. Partly sunny, with a high of 35 degrees at 1pm. 10 degrees below normal. With the wind it will feel much colder. Breezy, with a northwest wind 16 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.
Bundle up as you head out today….
Last year, mostly cloudy with a high around 51. The record high of 70 was set in 1931. There was 9.1 inches of snow back in 1943.
