Good morning! It’s pay all your money to the big bad government on Tax Day 💰. Drizzle and 37 degrees in Delmar, NY. ❄ There is a west-southwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. The weather reflects my mood about paying so much money to the greedy folks in Albany. I shouldn’t complain because it’s money that I rather than the government could collect interest over the past year, and I’m not subject to any fines.

Today will have rain showers ☔ , with a high of 43 degrees around high at noon. 14 degrees below normal. West wind 7 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 26 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. A year ago, we had mostly cloudy skies. The high last year was 66 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 2002. 0.3 inches of snow fell back in 1965.❄

The sun will set at 7:40 pm with dusk around 8:09 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for rain showers ☁ and 40 degrees. There will be a west breeze at 9 mph. Today will have 13 hours and 30 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 44 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have a slight chance of rain showers before 9pm, then a slight chance of rain and snow showers between 9pm and 1am, then a chance of snow showers after 1am. Cloudy ☔ , with a low of 33 degrees at 3am. Five degrees below normal. West wind around 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Little or no snow accumulation expected. In 2017, we had mostly clear skies with more clouds in the early hours of the next day. It got down to 40 degrees. The record low of 21 occurred back in 1948.

Next week I have a dentist visit. Just passing it on the bus made me think of it.👅 I’m sure I’ll get a text message from the dentist in the next few days. I also have sexual harassment training next week but I’m probably going to end up missing it again because I’ll be out of town. Third training I’ve missed.

I guess April showers bring May flowers and keep the fire risk down. 🌻🌼🌺 I’m hoping it’s also chewing away at the snow too. Not good for the truck trails drying out but that will happen eventually but I doubt all of Cedar River Road will be open at Moose River Plains for Memorial Day Weekend in a little over five weeks. ⛺ Still hoping to get out camping after the Save the Pine Bush hike next week but depending on the weather I might wait until the following week to allow the woods to dry out more. I’d rather take a long weekend if possible.

For today, assuming I processed the file correctly I have a Google Map of the percentage of homes that are mobile homes. 🏠 I am also thinking about doing a map of the density of mobile homes but that’s not done yet.

Looking ahead, there are 7 weeks until 8:30 PM Sunset ️⛱️ with dusk at 9:04 pm. On that day in 2017, we had thunderstorm, rain, mist, cloudy skies and temperatures between 66 and 55 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 75 degrees. We hit a record high of 97 back in 1925.
