Good morning! Today is Veterans Day 🇺🇸! Three weeks to Cyber Monday 🛍️. Cloudy and 35 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. We expect rain late today but watch out for tomorrow when temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 7 am. ☃️ Should make for an interesting commute 🚍 especially now that I have to be there earlier for work on. But maybe the bus will be close to on time, it often is at the park and ride early, but I might catch the local if it’s really wet and nasty. ❄ Snow though probably won’t be so bad walk. 🚶

Veterans Day will have a slight chance of rain and snow showers before 7am, then a chance of rain showers. Cloudy 🌧, with a high of 40 degrees at 1pm. 10 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around December 4th. Calm wind becoming north around 6 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Little or no snow accumulation expected. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 41 degrees. The record high of 70 was set in 2002. 3.0 inches of snow fell back in 1906.❄

I got a bunch to do today. 👍 First off I need to take out the trash to the outside can. It’s been three weeks. With recycling ♻ and composting I don’t need to do it often but sometimes the food bags in the trash start to get nasty. Eventually I’ll take it to the transfer station or something like that. 🔥 I just hate wasting garbage bags although I can always dump one into another. I also need to return those beer cans 🍻💰(I wish it’s easier than the transfer station). Need to clean the kitchen 🍙and maybe spray a few places in the bathroom 🚽 for mildew. With the warmer temperatures it’s very nice and comfortable in my bedroom, I actually turned the heat back down yesterday.

Definitely not all that great for outside activities but that’s fine. I am going to ride the exercise bike 🚲 for a while and work on some maps later on. 🌐 I didn’t go to the store yesterday 🏬 so I need to do that some point today. I might head down to the library later. 📚 Depends on how I feel. With my phone 📱 I find I don’t really have as much desire to use the internet at the library.

At least I’m feeling a lot better. Not perfect, still a bit congested at time 😷 and a little sore but better than in a while. I’m starting to think that I may have Lyme disease with the headaches and aches but I’m going to wait until I am fully recovered from my cold. 🎯 Mom certainly thinks it’s worthwhile for me to get tested for Lyme, with my symptoms of headaches, sore neck and stiffness at times but it’s been so long since I last been to my doctor. I should do regular yearly check ups. They’re free and I’d hate to die 🎲 somewhere in the wilderness with a heart attack. ♥

The sun will set at 4:37 pm with dusk around 5:07 pm, which is one minute and 3 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for rain 🌧 and temperatures around 37 degrees. There will be a north breeze at 6 mph. Tomorrow will have 9 hours and 53 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 16 seconds over today.

Tonight will have a chance of rain and sleet before 2am, then rain likely between 2am and 3am, then rain and sleet after 3am. 🌧 Low of 33 degrees at 6am. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around November 13th. North wind 5 to 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Little or no sleet accumulation expected. In 2018, we had partly cloudy skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 29 degrees. The record low of 15 occurred back in 1976.

All I can say is that it’s going to be nasty tomorrow. ⛄ But I’m sure the bus will get me to work 🚍 and all I have to do is be at the stop a few minutes early. 🚏I do hate a lot of things about living in the city but public transportation isn’t one of them.

Cool this weekend with temperatures running 12 degrees below normal but otherwise sunny. 😀 Saturday, sunny, with a high near 33. Sunday, mostly sunny, with a high near 39. Typical average high for the weekend is 48 degrees.

The following weekend might be quite warm from the long range. ☀ But God only knows. This weekend is the Green Energy Fair 🌲⚡ so I’ll be in town. Sunday might be nice for skiing 🎿 in an area without hunting if they’re still is snow. ⛄

As previously noted, there are 3 weeks until Cyber Monday 🛍️ when the sun will be setting at 4:22 pm with dusk at 4:54 pm. On that day in 2018, we had partly cloudy and temperatures between 41 and 26 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 41 degrees. We hit a record high of 66 back in 1998.
