Good evening! Mostly clear and 34 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a west breeze at 10 mph. 🍃. When the wind picks up its pretty darn cold but that’s been the story of the weather all day. With enough layers it’s not bad especially in the sun. ☀ Definitely not warm enough though with the wind to sit out back.

Today in the afternoon I went to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center 🐸 for a while to upload some new content to the blog and do some work tasks. The Wi-Fi is so much faster plus it saves bandwidth and allows me to visit personal sites using my personal laptop and get podcasts. 🎧 Walked the maintenence road twice like I do every day I’m out there. After Five Rivers I came home, had hot dogs and beans 🍣and went for my evening walk 🚶. I got milk at the store 🐮 making sure to have my bandana on before I went in. I swear the banada over the face requirement is just more of an excuse to be uncomfortable and make people stay home rather than a real health improvement. 😷 I don’t have one of those fancy masks 🎭, just a banada and it works fine as long as it clean and mold free unlike the one I used the other day.

Tonight will be clear 🌃, with a low of 26 degrees at 4am. 14 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 18th. West wind 7 to 10 mph. In 2019, we had cloudy skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 50 degrees. The record low of 26 occurred back in 1975.

Tonight will have a New 🌚 Moon with 0% illuminated. The Flower 🌷 Moon is on Thursday, May 7. The darkest hour is at 12:54 am, followed by dawn at 5:33 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:03 am in the east-northeast (72°) and last for 3 minutes and 2 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 31 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 6:41 am with sun in the east (79°). Tonight will have 10 hours and 14 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 39 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will have a slight chance of showers after 2pm. Increasing clouds 🌞, with a high of 53 degrees at 3pm. Nine degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 4th. West wind 5 to 7 mph becoming south in the afternoon. A bit warmer than today. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 75 degrees. The record high of 87 was set in 2007. 2.4 inches of snow fell back in 1956.❄

I still haven’t gone grocery shopping for the week 🍏 or done my wash 👚 but none is pressing right away now that I got milk. I’m leaning towards Wally World this week for one stop shopping plus I can wash my truck at the same time. I think I need to get socks 👢as a lot of them I have now are falling apart. I don’t think it will be that nice come tomorrow evening but at least it won’t be windy for washing my truck. Always trying to avoid shopping as I don’t want to get Coronavirus if I can avoid it. I do carry that bottle of isopropyl alcohol with me but it sure makes my hands crack and bleed. I need some glycerin to mix in with it.

In four weeks on May 20 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (299°) at 8:16 pm,🌄 which is 30 minutes and 29 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had partly cloudy, rain showers and temperatures between 83 and 56 degrees. Kind of hot last year. Typically, you have temperatures between 71 and 48 degrees. The record high of 91 degrees was set back in 1962.
