Good evening on this Chocolate Cake Day. Currently partly cloudy and 34 degrees in Delmar. It’s nice having the sun still up when you get out of work. The commutes aren’t nearly so dark and the mornings are a lot brighter.

Tonight will be mostly clear, with a low around 21. West wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light and variable in the evening. Waining Gibbous Moon with 74% illuminated. It will rise at 8:47 pm.

Thursday will be sunny with increasing clouds as the day progresses, with a high near 39. South wind 6 to 13 mph. Not that bad for January.

In two weeks the sun will be setting at 5:20 pm, which is 18 minutes later then tonight. The sunset in four weeks on Feb. 24 is at 5:38 pm. Daylight Savings Time begins on Sunday, March 13 is 1 month, 17 days away. Sunset on that day which is at 7:00 pm.

Speaking of 7 pm, the Albany County Young Democrats meeting is tonight, the first one I’ve been to since 2011. For a while they didn’t have much in meetings then for a while I could make it because I was traveling for work. It will be fun, although I think most of the people I know from Young Democrats have aged out. I’m 33, so I only have two years left.
