October 9, 2020 Night

Good evening! Mostly clear and 52 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌌 There is a south breeze at 7 mph. πŸƒ. The dew point is 46 degrees.

I just got back from my evening walk 🚢🏻 and are sitting out back. Nearly all week I’ve been doing five miles a day walking around the neighborhood.

It’s Columbus Day Weekend β›΅ but with the power outage earlier this week and lost productivity, today was super busy to say the least. But I thought it was a week. 😳 I did drop the ball on one thing πŸ€ΉπŸ»β€β™‚οΈ but things ultimately worked out. It’s so easy to get distracted when you are working on one thing and five others come in the door.

It looks like nothing spoiled or went bad ❄ during the 24 hours I didn’t have power midweek. I had quite a bit of ice in freezer so I wasn’t concerned although I thought the freezing and thawing of the frozen items could have been problematic. Some of the frozen cherries πŸ’ I had seemed to be a bit crystallized but they were almost done and I’ll finish them off in the morning. The frozen mixed vegetables were fine 🍱 as was the fish sticks. 🐠 Milk πŸ₯› was still ice cold although I did finish that off this morning and bought more after my evening walk 🚢🏻.

Tonight will be partly cloudy ☁️, with a low of 50 degrees at 11pm. Nine degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around September 21st. South wind 7 to 9 mph. 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 49 degrees. The record low of 25 occurred back in 1980.

Sunrise is one minute and 9 seconds later than yesterday. πŸŒ„ The golden hour ends at 7:41 am with sun in the east-southeast (105Β°). Tonight will have 12 hours and 40 minutes of darkness, an increase of 2 minutes and 50 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 77 degrees at 4pm. 15 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around September 4th. Maximum dew point of 56 at 4pm.

The record high of 89 was set in 1939. 0.8 inches of snow fell back in 1925.❄

Sounds like a great day ☺ but like everything I might be busy with work and other things going on. I also don’t know how quickly the clouds will push in by afternoon β›… or if we will get thunderstorms.

In four weeks on November 6 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (248Β°) at 4:41 pm (Standard Time),πŸŒ„ which is one hour, 40 minutes and 50 seconds earlier then tonight.

Cool morning but definitely really sunny. πŸŒ… Hard to complain about the weather this morning. Out for my morning walk 🚢🏻 enjoying the weather before I get busy with work in about an hour. ⌚ They have the one down tree cleaned up on the sidewalk and the power is back on.

Going to be another busy day at work. Overnight the pile of work only grew bigger. β›° Maybe not as big as the mountain size pile of manure they’re composting down the road to spread with the box spreader πŸ’© but pretty big. πŸ“ But it will get done today or maybe tomorrow.

It sounds like it will be a very nice day. 🌞 I am not sure of my plans, I’m thinking about going out to my parents house for Saturday dinner. πŸ” The colors are just starting pop in the hill towns. Not sure how do they’ll be next week in Madison County. πŸ‚Depends a lot on how much wind they get and the elevation.

Looking ahead to Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 64. North wind around 9 mph. Maximum dew point of 47 at 6am. Typical average high for the weekend is 62 degrees.

I think the weather will actually be better than in Madison County or up north. 😎 I am thinking though with rain β˜” coming Monday, Columbus Day β›΅ I’ll just stay close to home, maybe walk out to Five Rivers 🐦 for a couple of hours.

Looking ahead, there are 5 weeks until Average Night Below Freezing 🌌 when the sun will be setting at 4:34 pm with dusk at 5:04 pm (Standard Time).
