At sunset, look for clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 45 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 8 mph.
Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:55 pm with sun having an altitude of 58.9° from the due south horizon (-11.9° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 3.6 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:05 pm with the sun in the west (280°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (287°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:43 pm after setting for 3 minutes and 1 seconds with dusk around 8:12 pm, which is one minute and 9 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 8:49 pm.
Tonight will have a Waining Gibbous 🌖 Moon with 83% illuminated. At 7 AM, the moon was in the southwest (218°) at an altitude of 12° from the horizon, some 226,535 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by October 9th. Buckle up for safety! 💺 The moon will set in the southwest (234°) at 8:31 am. The Flower 🌷 Moon is on Friday, May 6.
Public stairways were originally built by the hundreds into the hills for a walking workforce that has nearly disappeared. But fans praise the role of the unique transportation system and continue to use them today.
If not for the snow and rain of yesterday probably would be another red flag 🚩 day for not tossing cigerette butts out your car window and lighting trash on fire and then driving off to town. 🚘 And other stupid shit like that.
Looks like a nice weekend but there will be a ton of sloppy snow in the mountains 🗻 come the weekend so I’ll probably end up staying in town plus I have that family obligation. 👪

Good morning! What day is it? Probably a busy Hump Day, of course.
After a quiet start to the week usually the second half of the week is busy. With only six weeks left until the end of the legislative session, and lots of committee meeting next week I’m sure it will be a busy few days.
Mostly cloudy and 40 degrees in Delmar, out.🐜NY. ⛅ There is a west breeze at 14 mph. 🍃. There are 2 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 1 am. ☃️
With the remaining clumbs of snow ❄ around and the strong winds 🌬️ it feels more like a March morning than April but the snow is already disappearing quickly. Still a ton of snow up north and in the hill towns but it’s not expected to last too far into next week. At least I’m not trudging through the slop down to the express bus 🚍 this morning. Sidewalks are clear and dry already. Big Red still has a lot of snow on him. 🛻
With the wind 🌬️ and the clouds and general dampness from the melting snow 🌨 its a rather bitterly cold morning for late April. I guess cold April’s aren’t uncommon in Albany, indeed it’s the month warming the slowest of any month of the year.
I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for winter to be done and maybe get up to the Adirondacks before the black flies are out.🐜 Maybe next weekend. With the cold spring it just seems like it so tardy this year.
Tonight is the Save the Pine Bush Virtual Dinner, 🌲 actually just a Zoom presentation by Tina Liberman about Down To Earth: Practical Steps You Can Take to Reduce Carbon Emissions & Save Our Climate. I’ll be attending but I’m afraid it mostly will be a sales pitch about greeny products you can buy to feel green. I think rather then buying greenie products, the best thing to do is just buy nothing at all.
