December 6, 2016 Evening
Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 40 degrees in the City of Albany. Calm wind.The skies will clear Thursday around 6 pm.
Traffic is not too bad and the bus is making good progress on the trip home. Today wasn’t a terrible day, and honestly I learned quite a bit today. Little bit cool this evening but not too bad for two and half weeks until Christmas. I know your reaction is basically the same as mine, where on earth does the time go?
Tonight will have a slight chance of rain and snow before 9pm, then snow likely. Cloudy, with a low of 35 degrees at 9pm. Seven degrees above normal. Light east wind. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of around an inch possible. In 2015, it got down to 26 degrees with periods of fog. The record low of -7 occurred back in 1901.
The First Quarter Moon is tonight at 9:03 am. The moon will set around 1:15 am. The Full “Cold” Moon is on Wednesday, December 14th.
Tomorrow will have a chance of rain showers and snow before 10am, then a slight chance of rain showers between 10am and 4pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high of 41 degrees at 12pm. Four degrees above normal. Southeast wind 5 to 8 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. A year ago, we had fog and a high of 48 degrees. The record high of 65 was set in 1998. 5.5 inches of snow fell back in 2003.
I heard the report on drowsy driving today on the radio and its hardly a surprise. Driving while sleep deprived is as bad as driving drunk. I’ve driven home a few times from a late night at work, and it’s pretty scary driving on limited sleep. I really try to avoid drowsy driving nowadays, and keep a five hour energy shot in my truck should I ever need a perking up. Those energy shots really perk you up and don’t make you have to pee all of the time.
Right now, a split verdict on the weekend. Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 30. Sunday, mostly cloudy, with a high near 34.Typical average high for the weekend is 38 degrees. Despite the cold, it still seems like a good weekend to get out of town.
In four weeks on January 3 the sun will be setting at 4:34 pm, which is 13 minutes later then tonight. In 2016 on that day, we had snow and temperatures between 41 and 27 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 31 and 16 degrees. The record high of 61 degrees was set back in 1913. January 3rd is almost the coldest time of the year.

December 6, 2016 Morning
Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Sunny and 34 degrees in Delmar. Calm wind. A very morning for December. If I didn’t have to dress up for work, I probably would have taken the express to work and walked down to the Park and Ride.
Today will be mostly sunny, with a high of 40 degrees at 1pm. A very nice day. One degree above normal. Light and variable wind. A year ago, we had fog and a high of 39 degrees. The record high of 68 was set in 2001. 12.5 inches of snow fell back in 2003.
The sun will set at 4:22 pm with dusk around 4:53 pm, which is 5 seconds earlier than yesterday. Today will have 9 hours and 10 minutes of daylight, a decrease of 1 minutes and 1 seconds over yesterday.
Tonight will have a chance of rain and snow before 9pm, then snow likely. Cloudy, with a low of 34 degrees at 9pm. Nine degrees above normal. Southeast wind 3 to 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. In 2015, it got down to 26 degrees with periods of fog. The record low of -7 occurred back in 1901.
There is 1 month until Epiphany, (12th Day of Christmas) when the sun will be setting at 4:38 pm with dusk at 5:09 pm. The average high temperature is 32 degrees, with a record high of 61 in 1895. The last of the Christmas lights will be shut off and the harsh winter weather will be upon us.
That podcast I shared earlier today on the blog about the fake news industry, is pretty interesting. There is a lot of money to be made off of conspiracy nuts. Its rather amazing to see what ideologues believe in our country, fact or fiction. And apparently if you’re an ideologue, you’ll believe anything as long as it demonizes your political opponents. At least most of our elected officials are somewhat more level headed.
Been looking at ordering Oxford shirts from Sears online. I just like how they fit but Sears usually has limited ones in stocks locally when I go there. Online I’ll have to pay shipping unless I order at least four shirts to spend more than $50. I got to think about it. Economy shipping is only $3, less than gas to Sears. And they’re one sale for $16 through Friday, which is a good price compared to the $18-20 range that they often are.
I am still liking the weekend forecast for camping, and maybe hunting and hiking, although in the Adirondacks it will feel more like January than December. Without the wind and lots of sun it shouldn’t be too bad. A couple of inches are expected of snow on the ground but that’s fine, I’ll shovel out a parking spot and my campsite.
Going to be a nice day. Get out and enjoy it if you can. It’s been a while since we’ve had a nice sunny day like today.
