Good morning! Happy Saint Patricks Day ☘️. Three weeks to 7:30 PM Sunset 🌇. Mostly cloudy and 23 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Do watch out for snow squalls when you drink your awful green beer. ❄ Also bundle up when you go out to the parades, as you don’t want to freeze off your snake 🐍when you are watching the St. Patricks Day parade.🍺 There is a west breeze at 9 mph. 🍃.
🌹🌻🌼Only 3 days remain until the first day of the calendar spring blizzard (which may be called off depending on who you ask) . ❄⛄🌀
Today, Saint Patricks Day ☘will have some widely scattered flurries before 10am, then a better chance of scattered flurries after noon once the wind picks up, freezing people’s snakes 🐍off during the Saint Patricks Day parade. Mostly sunny 🌞 , with a high of 35 degrees at 1pm. Eight degrees below normal. Breezy, with a northwest wind 9 to 14 mph increasing to 17 to 22 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 33 mph. Going to fell mad cold for the Saint Patricks Day parades. ☘ Thanks, Trump! A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 40 degrees. The record high of 75 was set in 1990. 4.1 inches of snow fell back in 1982.❄
The sun will set at 7:04 pm with dusk around 7:32 pm, which is one minute and 10 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for mostly clear skies and27 degrees. There will be a north-northwest breeze at 14 mph. Today will have 12 hours and 2 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 54 seconds over yesterday.
Once I take a shower 🛀and get dressed, I’m going to bundle up and get my hair cut👨 so I look all swanky for work. Plus I’m mad lazy and I don’t like to have to bother combing my hair and I have a shit ton of gray popping up.😺 So I’m getting it cut this morning.
Tonight will be mostly clear 🌞 , with a low of 12 degrees at 5am. 15 degrees below normal. Maximum wind chill around 4 at 6am; Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light after midnight. In 2017, we had mostly clear skies. It got down to 11 degrees. The record low of -8 occurred back in 1900.
Finished mounting and wiring up my GPS Logger for Summer Road Trips.🌐🚙 I wrote the firmware about a month ago but I hadn’t permanently put it together on perfboard🔬 to make sure it stays together on the rough roads. I don’t have a case for it, but that may be unnecessary depending where I mount it in the truck. I added a Micro USB port to power it but I may eventually end up using the built-in voltage regulator and powering it directly from the truck, 🔌 assuming that the 15 volts plus that the truck puts out when it is cold isn’t too much for the small linear regulator built in the Arduino Nano. I guess I could order like 20 linear regulators from China for a buck and use one of that. Well buck that for now.
As previously noted, there are 3 weeks until 7:30 PM Sunset 🌇 with dusk at 7:57 pm. On that day in 2017, we had rain, cloudy skies and temperatures between 46 and 37 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 55 degrees. We hit a record high of 87 back in 2010.
