September 18, 2020 Night
Good evening! Clear and 49 degrees in Delmar, NY. π There is a north breeze at 8 mph. π.
Tonight is a bit of a chilly evening. π¬οΈ That breeze definitely makes it feel cold. I went for my evening walk,πΆπ» then sat out back for a little while with my hoodie on enjoying the cool but and clear. A fairly busy day that extended into the evening so I didn’t get a chance to walk down to the park to see if the Wi-Fi works again there. πΆ
Tonight will be clear π, with a low of 38 degrees at 6am. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 19th. Northwest wind 5 to 8 mph. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 42 degrees. The record low of 32 occurred back in 1959.
Tonight will have a Waxing Crescent π Moon with 3% illuminated. The Hunter πΉ Moon is on Thursday, October 1. The darkest hour is at 12:50 am, followed by dawn at 6:11 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:40 am in the east (87Β°) and last for 2 minutes and 54 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 4 seconds later than yesterday. π The golden hour ends at 7:17 am with sun in the east (93Β°). Tonight will have 11 hours and 40 minutes of darkness, an increase of 2 minutes and 52 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will be sunny π, with a high of 59 degrees at 3pm. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 17th. North wind 5 to 8 mph. It will feel nice day but definitely want to wear a long sleeve shirt π. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 72 degrees. The record high of 90 was set in 1946.
In four weeks on October 16 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (258Β°) at 6:11 pm,π which is 48 minutes and 17 seconds earlier then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had rain and temperatures between 63 and 38 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 60 and 39 degrees. The record high of 88 degrees was set back in 1947.
15 weeks left in 2020. π Going to be a crazy remainder of the year π€ͺ with the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg β. It should be an interesting battle over her successor. But whatever is going to happen will happen although I think they really should wait for the next president to appoint the judge – whether it be the Trumpster or Biden His Time. ποΈ
One thing about her death π¦is it got me reading π about the Chesapeake and Baltimore Canal. π² I think I want to check that out the next time I go down to West Virginia, especially if I have a bicycle to ride by then. π₯οΈ William O. Douglas did a lot to preserve the canal and the area around Cumberland Maryland is quite beautiful. π
