Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Mostly clear 🌄 and a seasonably cold 23 degrees in Delmar, NY for the morning walk 🚶. There is a northwest breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. The current wind chill is 12. Just a reminder that it’s still winter. There are 2 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at around 1 pm. 🌡️

While it’s February for one more morning after today, 🌨 the sun is rising and the days getting longer. I guess we are getting snow tomorrow but Big Red is parked until Sunday and hopefully it won’t impact my morning walk come tomorrow. 👣 But onwards to a new week. I will bring my laptop home tomorrow in case it’s a work from home day due to the snow. I doubt it. 🤷‍♂️

Today will have increasing clouds ☀ 👉 ☁, with a high of 34 degrees at 3pm. Five degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 8th. Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light and variable. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 44 degrees. The record high of 61 was set in 1997. 3.6 inches of snow fell back in 2019.❄

Smells like I have a dead mouse 🐭 in my apartment. I’ll have to see if I can figure out where it is. I just cleaned out the bucket trap last night so maybe it’s somewhere around there. Kind of chilly inside too – with yesterday’s warm sunny weather in the afternoon I backed the heat down and I felt that when I climbed out from the heated sheets this morning. ♨ I’m so ready to turn off the heat and have the windows open again. Such days might not be that far off.

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:09 pm with sun having an altitude of 39° from the due south horizon (-31.8° vs. 6/21).

I’m not sure if this is a pay week or not 💵 but after breakfast 🍳 it’s off to shower 🚿 iron my shirt 👚 and then the express downtown. 🏢 Make some money, save for a better tomorrow and keep moving forward. Spring isn’t that far off, within two months at least in the city things will be greening up. 🌸

Tonight will snow, mainly after 9pm. The snow could be heavy at times. 🌨 Low of 26 degrees at 6am. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 15th.

It will snow or maybe it won’t. ❄ It’s winter for a few more whacks weeks. I think I cracked my skis 🎿 so I’m not sure if I can do much in the way of skiing but at this point I don’t really care. Who knows how much snow will be left come the weekend, it’s March and it won’t last long.

Cool but sunny for the start of the weekend and then more clouds. 🌥 Saturday, partly sunny, with a high near 34. Sunday, mostly cloudy, with a high near 37. Typical average high for the weekend is 41 degrees. In like a lion 🦁.
