Good morning! Happy Autumn! Once the sun rises a bit more it will be  sunny and 57 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a north-northwest breeze at 6 mph. The dew point is 52 degrees.

Today will be mostly sunny, with a high of 79 degrees at 3pm. Nine degrees above normal. Maximum dew point of 53 at 8am. North wind 6 to 9 mph. Nice day ahead, not too humid. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 82 degrees. The record high of 95 was set in 1895.

Chomping down on breakfast, thinking about the day ahead. I am mostly packed for tonight, but I will have to pack the food later. And some miscellaneous stuff. I’m not crazy about driving up there after dark, but I’ve done it before and with due caution I should be fine. It will be nice to hopefully awake tomorrow morning in the woods full of color, and then enjoy a beautiful second day of autumn, with warm temperatures expected all day in the 80s.

Now that autumn is underway, the mornings definitely seem darker. While I don’t live in a basement here in Demar the tree line tends to delay the sunrise a bit, and I get up before seven most mornings.
