Good evening! A mix of sleet, rain and snow and 33 degrees in Delmar. ❄ There is a north-northwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 3 am. ☃️ That part won’t be so much fun, although I’ll be fast asleep by then.

Tonight will rain, snow, and sleet before midnight, then rain and snow likely between midnight and 2am, then a chance of snow after 2am. Low of 30 degrees at 6am. Nine degrees above normal, which is similiar to a typical night around November 23rd. I know, warm. North wind 7 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%.

The record high of 71 degrees was set back in 1932.

Got my wash done, bought too many groceries, spending too much money, and didn’t wash my truck or replace the broken washer blade. There always is tomorrow after work. I figured washing the truck with them applying salt to the roads at this point is kind of pointless.🚘 The rain is washing off a lot of the muck at any rate.

When I got back home I baked up some nicely spicy chicken breast and stuffing. Not fancy but with the Montreal Chicken spice I bought cooks up nicely. 🍗 I spent some time reading, working on code and wasting time on Facebook. Lots of little projects.

Back to work tomorrow, I should probably rest up well. 💤I did turn down the heat before bed, and I have to say my bed is so much softer than those sleeping pads. I need to set the alarm on my phone too. ⏰ I don’t expect a really busy week, some end of the year stuff. The next two weeks after this week are just three work days with the holidays which is nice. Maybe I can camp and travel if there ain’t too much snow. ⛺
