Good evening! Cloudy and 62 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁️ There is a south-southwest breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 61 degrees. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Friday around 4 am. ☃️

I am sitting out back after my evening walk 🚶🏻 and while it’s a bit damp and cloudy no complaints about the temperature especially for November. While today was a work holiday, it didn’t seem particularly special with the weather being rainy and cooped up inside like a work day. But at least it was warm enough to have the windows open for most of the day. I doubt there will be many more November nights nice enough to sit out back.

While I’m a bit tired 😴, I might take a sleeping pill and retire to my bed 🛏 inside in a little bit while listening to a podcast. Tomorrow morning before work I want to walk down and drop my direct deposit paperwork off at the post office 📮 and then I need to call the shop 🏪 about getting my state inspection. It’s a bit of a walk to the post office but exercise is better than carbon emissions. Still also need to find the scraper and get the registration sticker back on the truck. 🛻 Not planning on driving anywhere until Sunday although maybe Friday I’ll drive down to the library for the Zoom Meeting. 📹

Tonight will have a chance of showers, mainly before 2am. Cloudy 🌧, with a low of 48 degrees at 6am. 15 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around September 25th. South wind 5 to 10 mph becoming northwest after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. In 2019, we had partly cloudy skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 19 degrees. The record low of 15 occurred back in 1976.

Going to be a bit cool by morning but I’m going to leave the window open ⬜ but I like the fresh air. It might be multiple months before I can sleep with the windows open again.

Not planning any trips until after Thanksgiving at this point.
