May 4, 2020 Night
Good evening! Partly clear and 45 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a northwest breeze at 10 mph. ๐. That breeze makes it’s a bit cold. After my evening walk ๐ถ I came inside and are laying on my bed.
Fairly quiet day at work today ๐ผ so I brought my laptop to the laundromat and worked there. Got my wash and sheets done and then worked down at the library parking lot on my laptop. Got a bunch of videos and data for future blog projects and uploaded a bunch of content to the blog. ๐ป
Walking on my evening walk ๐ I saw a CDTA bus. You don’t see so many of them now that they are running only the Saturday schedule and with so few people riding them. Seems so werid to see the buses now they it’s been eight weeks since the buses shut down except for the bare bones ๐schedule ๐and working from home.
Tonight will be mostly clear ๐, with a low of 33 degrees at 4am. 11 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 5th. Northwest wind around 10 mph. Cold night barely above freezing. My windows are closed. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became light rain by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 52 degrees. The record low of 29 occurred back in 1974.
Tonight will have a Waxing Gibbous ๐ Moon with 92% illuminated. At 10 PM, the moon was in the south-southeast (158ยฐ) at an altitude of 44ยฐ from the horizon, some 226,299 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. ๐ At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by October 23rd. Buckle up for safety! ๐บ The Flower ๐ท Moon is on Thursday, May 7. The darkest hour is at 12:53 am, followed by dawn at 5:15 am, and sun starting to rise at 5:46 am in the east-northeast (67ยฐ) and last for 3 minutes and 9 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 17 seconds earlier than yesterday. ๐ The golden hour ends at 6:26 am with sun in the east-northeast (74ยฐ). Tonight will have 9 hours and 44 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 24 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will be sunny ๐, with a high of 56 degrees at 4pm. 10 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 11th. Northwest wind 11 to 14 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 58 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 1944. There was a dusting of snow in 1900.โ
Going to be cold but sunny tomorrow. โ It would be nice to work out back but I think it will be too cold. I do need to get milk ๐ฎ in the morning, I’ll probably buy two gallons so I’m good for the week. Next week is Stewart’s Half Gallon Ice Cream sale ๐จ๐ง๐ฆand I’m definitely looking forward. That said, I should probably cut back as lately I’ve been putting on weight. Despite my efforts to get out walking ๐ถ it seems like I don’t get as much walking as I did when I was catching the bus ๐ downtown.
In four weeks on June 1 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (302ยฐ) at 8:26 pm,๐ which is 27 minutes and 32 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had partly sunny, thunderstorm and temperatures between 81 and 49 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 74 and 52 degrees. The record high of 94 degrees was set back in 1918.
Still chewing over my summer vacation plans โบ but with the pandemic much may change. I’m still thinking about Piseco Powley Road for a week if I can get a camping permit for the weekend week. In a campsite with a lot of sun for the solar ok my truck and the screen house for buggy and rainy days. And maybe a swimming ๐ hole within walking distance.
Looking ahead, Flower Moon ๐ is in 2 weeks, Memorial Day ๐บ๐ธ is in 3 weeks, June ๐น is in 4 weeks and Average High is 80 ๐ is in 7 weeks.
๐บ๐ธ๐ฆ Only 18 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!๐ฆ ๐บ๐ธ
