May 7, 2020 Night
Good evening! Rain showers and 48 degrees in Delmar, NY. β There is a west breeze at 8 mph. π. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Saturday around 2 am and it will snow for a while. βοΈ
Today was a modestly busy day at work πΌ, I also worked down at the library parking lot for a bit. Got busy and didn’t have a chance really to research screen houses anymore. Hiked in the afternoon at Papscanee Nature Preserve and then got groceries at Aldi’s. I just like shopping πͺ there during the pandemic as it’s fast in and out. They don’t have everything, I might do an online order at Wal-Mart if I can come up with $35 in things that I need.
While I was at the library there was a big protest past town hall about the quarantine business restrictions. β It certainly was loud. π’ Lots of horn honking. I think it’s good that people’s voices are being heard, it can’t only be the suits that are making all the decisions without the public’s voice being heard. π Doctors and scientists know a lot but they can’t be the only voice heard from.
Tonight will have a chance of showers, mainly before 1am. Mostly cloudy early, then becoming mostly clear π§, with a low of 36 degrees at 6am. Nine degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 12th. West wind 8 to 16 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies. It got down to 44 degrees. The record low of 26 occurred back in 1968.

At 10 PM, the moon was in the southeast (128Β°) at an altitude of 13Β° from the horizon, some 229,566 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. π At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by October 28th.
