November 13, 2019 Night
Good evening! Partly clear and 16 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. Snow is largely gone after the sun and breeze today. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 11 am. 🌡️
Without the wind it’s been a pretty mild evening, 🚶 I have a feel that it wasn’t that cold on my evening walk. Did smell like barnyard (manure and hay) when I walked past the Sunset Farm, they must have been hauling out the deep-pack earlier in the day, getting it on the fields, before things freeze up. 🐮 I don’t mind the smell much, I like cows and country living. And without farms no milk or beef, and that would make me unhappy. I thought about going down to the library to get on the internet but after riding the bike 🚲 it was getting late so I just went down to the library for a while. The walk was pleasant. Catching up on YouTube for a bit now as I lay in bed.
I screwed up at the end of the day at work, lost track of time ⌚ and almost missed the express bus home 🏡. I just got working on a spreadsheet 📊and had no idea 5 pm came and went. Only a few minutes after hours but I had to run to catch the express bus 🚍.
Still have a bit of a cough but I’m feeling pretty good and haven’t had any headaches or symptoms 🤒 and my energy levels have been high. Been riding the exercise bike and did my evening walk 🚶. Had more fish 🐠 and green beans for dinner with apple 🍏 juice.
Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 14 degrees at 11pm. 18 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical Maximum wind chill around 16 at 9pm; Calm wind becoming southeast around 5 mph after midnight. In 2018, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 22 degrees. The record low of 12 occurred back in 1996.
Tonight will have a Waning Gibbous Moon 🌖 with 93% illuminated. The moon will set at 8:40 am. The Last Quarter Moon is on Monday night. The Cold Moon 🌝 is in 4 weeks. The sun will rise at 6:44 am with the first light at 6:14 am, which is one minute and 16 seconds later than yesterday. 🌄 Tonight will have 14 hours and 10 minutes of darkness, an increase of 2 minutes and 14 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a high of 37 degrees at 2pm. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around December 11th. South wind 7 to 13 mph. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning, which became mostly clear by afternoon. The high last year was 33 degrees. The record high of 70 was set in 1973. 14.4 inches of snow fell back in 1972.❄
I found the Twitter bug 🐛 in my blog code, so the Twitter feed is back on. Twitter isnt nearly as obnoxious with the API breaks, actually the latest issue had to do with a break in the WordPress API and how it interacts with my plug in 🔌. Really only required a handful of code lines changed.
I find Twitter isn’t as contentious of a place as Facebook but then again I’m rarely on the site myself – I just syndicate my blog there. Still have issues with future 🔮 posts showing too early but the issue had proven had to track down in the code.
I do go on Facebook a lot but I don’t post much of my blog content on there. I don’t like the lack of control over content and placement on that site. 📷 Photos and maps posted to the blog remain my own
In four weeks on December 11 the sun will be setting at 4:22 pm,🌄 which is 13 minutes and 5 seconds earlier then tonight. In 2018 on that day, we had partly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 34 and 24 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 37 and 23 degrees. The record high of 61 degrees was set back in 1952.
