Good morning! Already Wednesday or maybe the week is going too slow. Farmers Market Day, maybe I will get some apples 🍏 to have in my office.

Mostly cloudy and 27 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. There are 7 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ Just remember that number come tomorrow. ️Things will start to thaw out at around 10 am. 🌡️

Nice morning before the snow storm 🌨 though kind of gray. But the mornings aren’t as dark as they were only a few weeks ago, and to boot I was out walking before 6:45. The skies to the southeast are very firery red. 🌅

Been trying to get out earlier for my morning walk 🚶 which the lighter breakfasts and less procrastination help a lot at that. I may also push back my first alarm ⏰ to 5:45 am so I have more time to fool around before getting out of bed 🛏.

Today will snow. The snow could be heavy at times. 🌨 High of 33 degrees at 11am. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 4th. Light south wind becoming southeast 8 to 13 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 29 degrees. The record high of 61 was set in 1938. 9.5 inches of snow fell back in 2000.❄

Cynthia Pooler of Focus on Albany fame 🎤 was going to have a fundraiser and recording sessio for her documentary on Reszin Adams but with the snow storm coming and the fact it’s all the way out in Colonie and no where near a bus stop 🚏makes me think that it’s best to mail ✉ a check. If it had been in Albany I probably would have gone even if it was snowy, but I’m not driving in this crap or walking in a blizzard and suit and tie in the automobile ghetto.

Tonight will rain and snow before midnight, then a chance of rain between midnight and 1am, then a slight chance of rain showers after 1am. 🌧 Low of 32 degrees at 6pm. 16 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 30th. Southeast wind 12 to 17 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. In 2022, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 15 degrees. The record low of -17 occurred back in 1920.

I am not really sure what to expect about the snow storm. ☔ It’s probably going to be an elevation storm but lately a lot of people are saying more snow. I still am considering camping for my 40th birthday 🎂 but Friday looks cold and there might be a ton of heavy wet snow to shovel out a parking 🅿 spot.

NOAA is still saying more clouds for the weekend. ☁️ But mild so the snow won’t stick around in any quantity. Saturday, mostly cloudy, with a high near 40. Sunday, a chance of rain and snow after 1pm. Cloudy, with a high near 38. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Typical average high for the weekend is 33 degrees.

As previously noted, next Wednesday is February 🌧 when the sun will be setting at 5:09 pm with dusk at 5:38 pm. On that day in 2022, we had snow and temperatures between 25 and 10 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 33 degrees. We hit a record high of 65 back in 1989.
