Good morning! Happy Election Day 2019 🗳️! I voted over a week ago. Five weeks to 7:15 AM Sunrise (again) 🌅️. Cloudy, dark and a mild 48 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ There is a south breeze at 8 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Friday around 2 am. ☃️

I have today off from work. 🚶 I thought about volunteering on a local campaign but I’m not still feeling that good and I’ll save gas if I stay home. 🏡 Not that nice of a day and I have some electronics projects to work on at home. 🔬 I might also just ride the exercise bike and catch up on the YouTube videos I downloaded.

I am finally recovering from my colds 😷 but the more rest the better I figure. I want to healthy by the weekend if I’m heading up to the Adirondacks this weekend. It should be interesting to see how much of NY 30 and NY 8 are patched up. 🚧 I think it will be hot tenting especially if there is a bit of snow up north. ❄

Today will have a chance of showers, mainly after 11am. Cloudy 🌦, with a high of 57 degrees at 1pm. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 24th. South wind 5 to 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. The high last year was 48 degrees. The record high of 75 was set in 1994. 3.0 inches of snow fell back in 1894.❄

The sun will set at 4:43 pm with dusk around 5:13 pm, which is one minute and 13 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for possible rain showers 🌧 and temperatures around 55 degrees. There will be a southwest breeze at 5 mph. Today will have 10 hours and 9 minutes of daytime, an decrease of 2 minutes and 29 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have a slight chance of showers between 11pm and midnight. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 34 degrees at 6am. Typical for tonight. West wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2018, we had light rain. It got down to 44 degrees. The record low of 15 occurred back in 1951.

Cool this weekend with temperatures running 10 degrees below normal but otherwise sunny. 🙂 Saturday, sunny, with a high near 39. Sunday, a chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 43. Chance of precipitation is 30%. At least that should help the snow melt. ❄ Typical average high for the weekend is 51 degrees.

It looks we will get our first snow storm of the season ⛄ come Thursday into Friday. I might put aside the Madison County trip in favor of heading up to the Adirondacks on NY 8 on the East Branch during Veterans Day Weekend. ⛺ Brown Road while occasionally plowed most of the way to the campground can still be pretty icy.

One month 📅 from now will be Repeal of Prohibition Day 🍺 when the sun will be setting at 4:22 pm with dusk at 4:53 pm.
