December 8, 2016 Night

Good evening! Partly cloudy and 32 degrees on this moonlit evening in Delmar. There is a west breeze at 13 mph.

Went out for my evening walk. It was a pleasant evening but a bit chilly with the breeze until I got moving. Lots of moonlight tonight for sure.  Skipped going to the library this evening in part because my laptop battery is low, and I also do not like doing my evening walk so late. Not only do we have the moon tonight but the stars are great too. 

Tonight will have a chance of snow showers, mainly between 11pm and 2am. Mostly cloudy, with a low of 25 degrees at 6am. One degree above normal. West wind around 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Still enough to make the roads slick late night.  In 2015, it got down to 23 degrees with periods of fog. The record low of -11 occurred back in 1902.

Waxing Gibbous Moon tonight with 64% illuminated. The moon will set around 3:47 am. The Full β€œCold” Moon is on Wednesday night with mostly cloudy skies and mercury in the teens.

Tomorrow will have a slight chance of snow showers before noon. Partly sunny, with a high of 31 degrees at 11am. Six degrees below normal. Northwest wind 11 to 16 mph. Going to feel pretty cold despite the sun.   Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had fog and a high of 48 degrees. The record high of 62 was set in 1966. 7.3 inches of snow fell back in 2009. The sun will rise at 7:13 am with the first light at 6:41 am, which is 54 seconds later then yesterday.

It will be cold, but I still think I’ll walk down to the express bus tomorrow morning. I like the exercise to start out my morning. The sun will be nice. 

Looking ahead, Obama’s Last Day is in 6 weeks, Ground Hog Day is in 8 weeks and Start of June is in 25 weeks. We have a while before June.
