January 25, 2023 Evening
Good evening! Well I thought there would be no evening walk ๐ถ but the dramatic snow storm they promised on the news but it petered out to nothing. Some snow flurries and mist but no driving rain or snow. I guess the night is still young. But once my walk is over I’m off to bed ๐.
Clouds, mist and 33 degrees in Delmar, NY. โ Light breeze . There are 7 inches of snow on the ground. โ ๏ธTemperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 5 pm. โ๏ธ Probably much less snow come the morning.
Tonight will rain and snow, possibly mixed with sleet, becoming all rain after 10pm. ๐ง Low of 33 degrees at 7pm. 18 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 5th. Southeast wind 13 to 18 mph becoming light and variable after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Total nighttime snow and sleet accumulation of around an 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.
They didn’t have apples ๐ at the farmers market which ducked. I think the orchard owner wasn’t there due to the bad weather but I did get onions and mushrooms ๐. Okay maybe not that type of mushrooms. But they are still good. Annoyed I walked all the way to the Plaza, past the protestors and they didn’t have apples. I guess it’s extra steps I got in.
Tonight will have a Waxing Crescent ๐ Moon with 22% illuminated. At 7 PM, the moon was in the west-southwest (237ยฐ) at an altitude of 27ยฐ from the horizon, some 231,654 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 July 20th. Buckle up for safety! ๐บ The moon will set in the west (267ยฐ) at 9:44 pm.

Tonight will have 14 hours and 12 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 8 seconds over last night.
With the weather, my cell service ๐ถ has been bad all evening slipping in and out of service. It’s kind of annoying I must say, especially as it works one minute and then doesn’t. ๐ก
