Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Yes it has but I have tomorrow off as it’s Election Day. Doesn’t feel like Election Day though a I early voted last Monday. Next Monday is Veterans Day 🇺🇸. Mostly sunny and around the freezing point at the Elm Ave Park & Ride – CDTA. There is a south breeze at 6 mph. 🍃.

A beautiful morning. But it’s not expected to last. As the day progresses we will have increasing clouds ☁, with a high of 50 degrees at 2pm. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 10th. South wind 6 to 13 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 51 degrees. The record high of 76 was set in 1994. There was a dusting of snow in 2006.❄

Definitely nice having that extra hour ⏳ in the morning to get going but the commute home will be dark on the express bus 🚍. But daylight is so limited this time of year so it’s best to take advantage of it fully.

The sun will set at 4:45 pm with dusk around 5:14 pm, which is one minute and 14 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies ☁ and temperatures around 49 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 13 mph. Today will have 10 hours and 12 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 29 seconds over yesterday.

I remembered to turn on my porch light before leaving. 💡 It’s on a daylight switch to save energy, so it won’t light until dusk as it seems wasteful to leave it on all day. I should see how much power the daylight switch uses itself but it may be a few milliamps or less as it’s probably a small photo cell that turns off a transistor.

Tonight will be cloudy ☁, with a low of 42 degrees at 4am. Eight degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 9th. South wind 10 to 13 mph. In 2018, we had cloudy skies in the evening, which became light rain by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 31 degrees. The record low of 17 occurred back in 1951.

I had a nice dinner 🍲 of stuffed peppers at my parents house but I left my laptop charger there. They plan to drop it off at my house after their doctor appointment.

Cool this weekend with temperatures running 13 degrees below normal but otherwise sunny. 😃 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 37. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 40. Typical average high for the weekend is 51 degrees.

Assuming that it doesn’t snow I’m thinking about Madison County and probably Stoney Pond. ⛺ I thought about leaving work early on Friday but I don’t want to get caught in a snow squall on Friday so I’ll leave early Saturday and come back Monday. My propane tank 🏮 is full and my truck almost full of gas ⛽ so all I’ll need is any extra food I may need for the trip. If I go Saturday I should have time to find firewood to burn although Stoney Pond is often well picked over for wood.🌲Going to be a crisp weekend but if the wind 🍃 isn’t too bad and there is lots of sun it should be nice.

As previously noted, next Monday is Veterans Day 🇺🇸 when the sun will be setting at 4:37 pm with dusk at 5:07 pm. 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.

Good morning! Happy Election Day 2019 🗳️! I voted over a week ago. Five weeks to 7:15 AM Sunrise (again) 🌅️. Cloudy, dark and a mild 48 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a south breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Friday around 2 am. ☃️

I have today off from work. 🚶 I thought about volunteering on a local campaign but I’m not still feeling that good and I’ll save gas if I stay home. 🏡 Not that nice of a day and I have some electronics projects to work on at home. 🔬 I might also just ride the exercise bike and catch up on the YouTube videos I downloaded.

I am finally recovering from my colds 😷 but the more rest the better I figure. I want to healthy by the weekend if I’m heading up to the Adirondacks this weekend. It should be interesting to see how much of NY 30 and NY 8 are patched up. 🚧 I think it will be hot tenting especially if there is a bit of snow up north. ❄

Today will have a chance of showers, mainly after 11am. Cloudy 🌦, with a high of 57 degrees at 1pm. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 24th. South wind 5 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. The high last year was 48 degrees. The record high of 75 was set in 1994. 3.0 inches of snow fell back in 1894.❄

The sun will set at 4:43 pm with dusk around 5:13 pm, which is one minute and 13 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for possible rain showers 🌧 and temperatures around 55 degrees. There will be a southwest breeze at 5 mph. Today will have 10 hours and 9 minutes of daytime, an decrease of 2 minutes and 29 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have a slight chance of showers between 11pm and midnight. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 34 degrees at 6am. Typical for tonight. West wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2018, we had light rain. It got down to 44 degrees. The record low of 15 occurred back in 1951.

Cool this weekend with temperatures running 10 degrees below normal but otherwise sunny. 🙂 Saturday, sunny, with a high near 39. Sunday, a chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 43. Chance of precipitation is 30%. At least that should help the snow melt. ❄ Typical average high for the weekend is 51 degrees.

It looks we will get our first snow storm of the season ⛄ come Thursday into Friday. I might put aside the Madison County trip in favor of heading up to the Adirondacks on NY 8 on the East Branch during Veterans Day Weekend. ⛺ Brown Road while occasionally plowed most of the way to the campground can still be pretty icy.

One month 📅 from now will be Repeal of Prohibition Day 🍺 when the sun will be setting at 4:22 pm with dusk at 4:53 pm.
