Good evening! Mostly sunny and 27 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a northwest breeze at 11 mph. 🍃 with gusts up to 21 mph 💨💨💨. While not a long wait for the bus, still not pleasant waiting outside. Things are pretty biterly cold for the end of winter. I guess out like a lion. Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow, the first day of spring around 1 pm.🌡

Today wasn’t a half bad day at work, I got out at a fairly reasonable hour. Sun was still up although it will have set before I get home. ⛄So ungodly cold outside with the wind it doesn’t really matter. Thinking about cooking up some fish, working on a few things on my laptop then retiring to bed fairly early. 💤 I’m glad that traffic is light and the bus is moving on time, although that’s not to be unexpected at this hour.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 13 degrees at 6am. 15 degrees below normal. Maximum wind chill around 21 at 6pm; Northwest wind 6 to 11 mph becoming light after midnight. In 2017, we had clear skies. It got down to 19 degrees. The record low of 2 occurred back in 1967. Not record breaking cold, but still pretty cold for mid-March. But I’m sure the nights will get nicer as we get closer to spring. Sunset really is still much too early to enjoy much time after work, especially if I’m thinking about going down to the park.

Tonight will have a Waxing Crescent Moon 🌒 with 8% illuminated with the moon setting at 9:29 pm. The moon will rise at 8:55 am. The First Quarter Moon is on Friday night with a chance of snow. The Blue Moon 🌝 is on Friday, March 30th. The sun will rise at 6:58 am with the first light at 6:30 am, which is one minute and 45 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 Tonight will have 11 hours and 49 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 55 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be sunny 🌞 , with a high of 36 degrees at 3pm. 10 degrees below normal. North wind 3 to 8 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 49 degrees. The record high of 78 was set in 2012. 7 inches of snow fell back in 1944.❄ As we head into spring time, exceptionally big snow fall records become less common.

Right now Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 40. Sunday, a chance of rain and snow. Partly sunny, with a high near 39. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Typical average high for the weekend is 48 degrees. Won’t be quite as cold as last weekend but hardly spring like. ⛺With so much snow on the ground I may wait a while to go camping but I might fix the ground on my truck cap this weekend and continue to work on unpacking my truck cap.

In many ways, this has been a really tiresome winter❄. I’m really not sure how many more winters I afford to stay up north but I don’t know with climate change many years if not this year, winters are not as bad as they once were. I am so ready for spring time. 🌼

In four weeks on April 16 the sun will be setting at 7:39 pm,🌄 which is 32 minutes later then today. In 2017 on that day, we had rain, mostly cloudy skies and temperatures between 87 and 56 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 59 and 38 degrees. The record high of 91 degrees was set back in 2012.
