Good morning! Talk about a chilly November day. They don’t make many like this anymore. Mostly cloudy and we’ve warmed up a degree to 32 degrees in Delmar. Still pretty frigid for November especially with the wind whipping around. Breezy, 18 mph breeze from the west-northwest with gusts up to 32 mph. The current wind chill is 20. The skies will clear tomorrow around 4 pm.

Today’s forecast has little to cheer for especially in the mountains where they have gotten a lot of snow. In the city we’ve only got a dusting which has  will have a chance of snow showers, mainly before 3pm. Cloudy, with a high of 35 degrees at 12pm. 10 degrees below normal. Windy, with a west wind 18 to 28 mph, with gusts as high as 48 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. 

The sun will set at 4:27 pm with dusk around 4:58 pm, which is 41 seconds earlier than yesterday. Today will have 9 hours and 31 minutes of daylight, a decrease of 1 minutes and 53 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy, with a low of 30 degrees at 3am. Two degrees below normal. Breezy, with a west wind 14 to 20 mph. One year ago, mostly cloudy with a low around 34. The record low of 9 occurred back in 1969.

Listening to Thomas Rhett’s Beer with Jesus, which seems appropriate as the bus grinds downtown. It’s actually comforting to feel the motion of the bus as I return to commuting downtown. While I liked the change of working in North Syracuse, it’s nice to return to normalcy of days gone past. I like the quiet time I have to myself without the dangers of car commuting. The bus though  is kind of warm. Assuming it’s not too frigid, I’ll probably walk down to the express bus come Tuesday. 

Thursday is Thanksgiving and I’m hopeful that they will give us Black Friday off as a holiday. If not, that’s fine too. The weather is not expected to be real nice on Friday and the buses are unlikely to crowded or delayed come Friday. It would likely be quiet day. I’ll cross that bridge when it comes. 

Have a great day. I’m almost to work….
