February 8, 2017 Morning

“Climbing the Hump on this mild Wednesday. Towel caught fire as I was removing a hot pan out of the oven but it’s out. I like fire a lot but not when it’s in my kitchen and not in a wood or coal stove.”  

Good morning! What day is it? Hump Day, of course. Three weeks to March 1st. Mostly cloudy and 42 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a southwest breeze at 13 mph. The skies will clear tomorrow after a couple inches of snow fall around 5 pm.

Today will have a slight chance of showers before 9am. Mostly cloudy, with a high of 47 degrees at 11am. 14 degrees above normal. Breezy, with a southwest wind 13 to 20 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 31 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had snow and a high of 36 degrees. The record high of 52 was set in 1925. 14 inches of snow fell back in 1895.
