Good morning! Happy Easter 🐰! Seems odd without the family 👪 or the candy this year 🍬 but probably healthier in the sense of less calories. Four weeks to Mothers Day 👩‍. And then we can all sing Motherly Love with Frank Zappa. 🎤

Regardless a nice Easter morning. Partly sunny around freezing in Delmar, NY. ☀ There is a south breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The sun is nice on this Easter morning.

Today will be partly sunny 🌞 during the morning with clouds in the afternoon ⛅, with a high of 61 degrees at 4pm. Four degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 20th. South wind 7 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Still fairly breezy but better than yesterday. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 60 degrees. The record high of 84 was set in 1977. 3.3 inches of snow fell back in 1962.❄

I am thinking I should think about doing a walk 🚶 before it clouds up but the million dollar question is where. 🙋 I don’t want to drive anywhere and I’m kind of tired 😴 of Five Rivers and the rail trail may be crowded which is probably not so cool during the pandemic.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:57 pm with sun having an altitude of 56.3° from the due south horizon (-14.5° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 4 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 6:57 pm with the sun in the west (277°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (283°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:34 pm after setting for 2 minutes and 59 seconds with dusk around 8:03 pm, which is one minute and 9 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 8:39 pm. At sunset, look for partly cloudy skies 🌃 and temperatures around 58 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 9 mph. Today will have 13 hours and 16 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 48 seconds over yesterday.

I am happy that I got the boots 👢 yesterday as they are a lot more comfortable to walk in then the old boots that were fully worn through the bases in multiple locations.

Tonight will have showers likely, mainly after 4am. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 51 degrees at 1am. 14 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around May 27th. Maximum dew point of 50 at 6am. South wind 8 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 52 degrees. The record low of 19 occurred back in 1874.
