Good morning! Happy Ides of March. Hopefully the friendly strangers with their black sedans won’t get stuck in the snow.  Those old, low body rear wheel cars are pigs in the snow. Their heaters kind of suck too. Partly cloudy and 15 degrees in Delmar, NY. Breezy, 17 mph breeze from the west-northwest. The current wind chill is -3. Bitterly cold after yesterday’s faux blizzard, as I listen to the Ides of March’s Vehicle.

Today will have scattered snow showers, mainly after 9am. Areas of blowing snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high of 24 degrees at 3pm. Only 20 degrees below normal. Maximum wind chill around -3 at 7am; Breezy, with a west wind 17 to 25 mph, with gusts as high as 39 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. 

A year ago, we had cloudy skies and a high of 58 degrees. Back when it was fun to celebrate the Ides of March. The record high of 72 was set in 1989. Not today. 10.4 inches of snow fell back in 1916.

Winter must die eventually. Five weeks to the Average High is 60.
