April 10, 2023 Morning

The moment you look at pedometer in bed and it says zero steps πŸ‘£

And that’s why I’m now and up and walking on this Monday. I have at least 7 1/2 miles ahead of me, maybe closer to nine depending on the day goes.

Good morning! Clear and 29 degrees in Delmar, NY. πŸŒ… Calm wind.

Cold start to the week 🌸 but it should warm up nicely by midday and should be quite nice for the balance of the week. The air smells like grain 🌾 and already the grass is greening up and by the weekend things will be in full bloom I’m thinking. Let’s get er done.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 65 degrees at 5pm. Eight degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 27th. Calm wind becoming northwest 5 to 7 mph in the morning. A year ago, we had cloudy skies. The high last year was 49 degrees. The record high of 86 was set in 1922. 5.7 inches of snow fell back in 1961.❄

Service day for Big Red πŸ”§, I’m thinking I might leave work early to pick him up though it gets more difficult being a session day though I expect it won’t be a real long one as they have to pass the extender early. Doubt I’ll get paid early tomorrow but it’s not like it’s the beginning of the month.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:57 pm with sun having an altitude of 55.3° from the due south horizon (-15.6° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 4.2 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer.

The golden hour πŸ… starts at 6:54 pm with the sun in the west (275Β°). πŸ“Έ The sunset is in the west-northwest (282Β°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:31 pm after setting for 2 minutes and 57 seconds with dusk around 8:00 pm, which is one minute and 9 seconds later than yesterday. πŸŒ‡ The best time to look at the stars is after 8:35 pm. At sunset, look for clear skies πŸŒ„ and temperatures around 60 degrees. There will be a calm wind. Today will have 13 hours and 11 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 50 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly clear πŸŒƒ, with a low of 38 degrees at 6am. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 17th. Calm wind. In 2022, we had cloudy skies in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 29 degrees. The record low of 20 occurred back in 1874.

I think it’s a leave the windows open night πŸ”³ and sit out back kind of evening. That is after the walk 🚢. That said, I still want to be in πŸ› by around 9 o’clock to get to bed and get my needed sleep.

Awesome spring weekend on tap, with temperatures running 18 degrees above normal. 😎 Saturday, partly sunny, with a high near 80. Maximum dew point of 54 at 8pm. Mild for sure. And it continues. Sunday, a chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 74. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Maximum dew point of 53 at 6am. Typical average high for the weekend is 59 degrees.

As spring rolls on, there are 3 weeks until May πŸ•Š when the sun will be setting at 7:56 pm with dusk at 8:25 pm. On that day in 2022, we had mostly sunny and temperatures between 69 and 35 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 66 degrees. We hit a record high of 86 back in 2001.
