April 20, 2020 Night

Good evening! Clear and 40 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Wednesday around midnight. β˜ƒοΈ

Not a terribly cold evening πŸŒƒ but a bit chilly for mid to late April. Lots of stars ✨ out b ack but alas after a while it felt cool. Went for my evening walk 🚢 which was pretty quiet. Tuna fish 🐠 salad that I made up for dinner in a wrap. πŸ₯

Ended up going to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center this afternoon 🐸 because it was a beautiful afternoon although a bit chilly for most of the day. The Wi-Fi is much quicker than the mobile card on my work laptop and more reliable as it kept dropping out today. πŸ“Ά Despite living in the suburbs sometimes my phone service πŸ“± is funky here. Probably too many people using too little data with everyone home during Coronavirus. But also working on the free wifi meant that I didn’t have to careful watch my bandwidth and I could have personal social media and my blog up while I worked, upload photos πŸ“· and download videos for later watching.

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌀, with a low of 35 degrees at 5am. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 10th. Calm wind. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 52 degrees. The record low of 20 occurred back in 1875.

Tonight will have a Waining Crescent 🌘 Moon with 3% illuminated. The darkest hour is at 12:55 am, followed by dawn at 5:36 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:06 am in the east-northeast (73Β°) and last for 3 minutes and 2 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 33 seconds earlier than yesterday. πŸŒ„ The golden hour ends at 6:44 am with sun in the east (80Β°). Tonight will have 10 hours and 19 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 41 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will have showers and possibly a thunderstorm, mainly before 4pm, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 4pm. Some of the storms could produce small hail and gusty winds. 🌦 High of 51 degrees at 11am. 10 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 31st. Maximum dew point of 42 at 1pm. πŸ–οΈ South wind 10 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. It was somewhat humid. The high last year was 72 degrees. The record high of 89 was set in 1923. 0.6 inches of snow fell back in 1947.❄

Doesn’t seem really nice tomorrow. 🚿 I am however thinking about going to the car wash to clean off Big Red which has some salt on him and it’s been a while since he’s been washed. 🚘 I checked and the car wash is still open as an Essential Business. There are a few things that I need that I should pick up at Walmart while I’m out but I’m thinking I should wait until I have a full list πŸ“ƒ as every time you go out in public you risk getting Coronavirus. And that shit is real, and can make folks my age get really sick and not city folk alone. 🚜

In four weeks on May 18 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (298Β°) at 8:14 pm,πŸŒ„ which is 30 minutes and 46 seconds later then tonight.
