Good morning! Happy Average High is 55 π! Going to be warmer than that today. Very mild late October day. Two weeks to Veterans Day πΊπΈ. Mostly cloudy and 50 degrees in Delmar, NY. β There is a west breeze at 9 mph. π. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 5 am. βοΈ
Stayed overnight at my parents couch because the headlight bulb stopped working on my truck. π‘ If it wasn’t pouring rain and getting dark, I would bought another bulb and stuck it in the truck, but so be it. The whole thing is frustrating, as I replaced both bulbs 15 months ago, and one failed again over the summer, and then the other one. Cheap bulbs I guess.
It was the opposite side from the on I replaced last summer. I tested that bulb that I pulled last summer that wasn’t working but it seemed okay but then it failed. It’s not the socket, or wiring, it’s completely open circuit with the bulb. I’m going to have to get a better quality bulb from the General I think. Those cheap Walmart bulbs work for a year before randomly failing. Ducks π¦ that I have to pull the air box again. Maybe I should also replace the air filter again but it’s not ths dirty.
It’s an early start, a new Monday and a new start for me. πΌ I decided on a blazer and jeans for my first day at the new job. Change is good I guess. I’ll work hard to make the most of the new opportunity. Still trying to work out which bus I need to take to get there on time but not too early. π The earlier locals are slower because of the students taking the bus to school πΈ.
Today will be partly sunny π, with a high of 61 degrees at 2pm. Six degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 14th. I’ll take that. Maximum dew point of 49 at 1pm. West wind 5 to 9 mph becoming calm. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with a few breaks of sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 51 degrees. The record high of 78 was set in 1971. 2.0 inches of snow fell back in 1952.β
The sun will set at 5:54 pm with dusk around 6:23 pm, which is one minute and 24 seconds earlier than yesterday. π At sunset, look for partly cloudy skies π and temperatures around 59 degrees. The dew point will be 49 degrees. There will be a southeast breeze at 6 mph. Today will have 10 hours and 30 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 38 seconds over yesterday.
Tonight will be mostly cloudy π₯, with a low of 47 degrees at 6am. 11 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around September 27th. Southeast wind around 7 mph. In 2018, we had light rain in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 42 degrees. The record low of 19 occurred back in 1969.
In 1956, Elvis Presley receives a polio vaccination on national TV. πThis single event is credited with raising immunization levels in the United States from 0.6% to over 80% in just six months. A little shot can prevent much sickness later on.
A picture perfect weekend on tap. π Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 50. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 47. Typical average high for the weekend is 53 degrees.
I think the top priority is getting the headlight to work again. π‘ Then I might canvas again this weekend or maybe head right out to camp. πDepends on the weather. Two weekends out is a three day weekend with Veterans Day. Going to be a nice weekend it seems, but might be fairly cold up north, especially if it’s windy. Might be decent hunting weather though.
As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Veterans Day πΊπΈ when the sun will be setting at 4:37 pm with dusk at 5:07 pm (Standard Time). On that day in 2018, we had partly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 41 and 26 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 50 degrees. We hit a record high of 70 back in 2002.
