The last time trout season 🎣 opened on Easter 🐰 in New York was April 1, 1956.

Good morning! Happy Sunday. Two weeks to April Fools Day and Easter 🐰. Sunny and chilly 8 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 One of the coldest mid March mornings in recent years. Calm wind. Still hiding under my covers, it’s cold in the apartment and to say nothing about outside. 🛏️ I’ll get up eventually but I have a long week ahead at work, so I’m in no rush to get a jump on the day even though it’s very sunny out.

🌹🌻🌼Only 2 days remain until the first day of calendar spring!🌹🌻🌼

Today will be sunny 🌞 , with a high of 33 degrees at 4pm. 12 degrees below normal. Light northwest wind increasing to 9 to 14 mph in the morning. A year ago, we had mostly cloudy skies. The high last year was 42 degrees. The record high of 69 was set in 2012. 8 inches of snow fell back in 1977.❄

This morning, pretty close to first thing, I need to go to the store and buy milk. 🍶I know it’s just next door but it’s mad cold outside. But I need milk for my coffee and eggs if I want to make good scrambled eggs.🍳

Then I need to do some cleaning around the apartment,🧹 maybe unpack some of the camping gear from the truck, maybe work on a few things on the blog on my laptop then I’ll head out for the day. It’s going to be a fairly cold day so I doubt I’ll go too far.🖼️ I’m really just waiting for spring to roll back around with some warmer weather.🐸

The sun will set at 7:05 pm with dusk around 7:33 pm, which is one minute and 10 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for partly clear skies and 28 degrees. There will be a northwest breeze at 9 mph. Today will have 12 hours and 5 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 55 seconds over yesterday. Days are now longer than the nights but we still have several more hours of daylight to pick up before the start of summer. I look forward to sunsets after eight in a month or so as that means dusk won’t be until quite late.

Tonight will be partly cloudy ☁, with a low of 14 degrees at 6am. 13 degrees below normal. Maximum wind chill around 6 at 6am; North wind 3 to 7 mph. In 2017, we had cloudy skies. It got down to 30 degrees. The record low of -10 occurred back in 1967.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until April Fools Day and Easter 🐰 when the sun will be setting at 7:22 pm with dusk at 7:50 pm. On that day in 2017, we had rain, drizzle, snow, sleet, mist, cloudy skies and temperatures between 44 and 33 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 52 degrees. I’m hoping that we will be above average by then with lots of sun. I could enjoy a nice three day weekend out camping. ⛺We hit a record high of 77 back in 1986.

This next week is expected quite sunny but cold. 🌞The threat of the First Day of Spring Nor’Easter has failed to materialize, and most of the week will be sunny but 5-10 degrees😨 below normal for the first week of spring. 🐣
