Good evening! As they say, stick a fork into calendar winter, it’s done. Partly clear and 31 degrees for the evening walk in Delmar. 🌃 Breezy, ️16 mph breeze from the west-northwest 🌬 . The current wind chill is 20. At least in less protected areas the snow is done at least for now. ️Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 9 am. 🌡️

Out for the evening walk 🚶 which will get me up to a little over 12 miles for the day and 22 for the weekend. That’s good I guess. It was tough tromping through the snow in the Pine Bush yesterday though by today who knows how much is left.

Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 22 degrees at 5am. Five degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 4th. Maximum wind chill around 20 at 8pm; West wind 9 to 16 mph becoming southwest after midnight. In 2022, we had thunderstorm in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 40 degrees. The record low of 2 occurred back in 1967.

Washed my truck and stocked up my pantry for the week. Continuing to buy and eat healthier, 🍏 especially working to cut out processed foods and sugars. I actually bought two pounds of non organic tofu, something I’m a bit horrified about but I’m really looking to lower cost, healthy meats and substitutes. I’d love to work more rabbit into my diet but it’s an expensive boutique meat in America unless you hunt or raise them because adult children in America think they’re cute not dinner. Got some wild salmon too, and lots of spices to add to various foods boost flavor.

Tonight will have a Waining Crescent 🌘 Moon with 3% illuminated. The Pink 🌸 Moon is on Wednesday, April 5. The darkest hour is at 1:04 am, followed by dawn at 6:34 am, and sun starting to rise at 7:02 am in the east (90°) and last for 2 minutes and 54 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 45 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 7:39 am with sun in the east (97°). Tonight will have 11 hours and 49 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 55 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 51 degrees at 4pm. Four degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 29th. Southwest wind around 10 mph. A year ago, we had cloudy skies. The high last year was 54 degrees. The record high of 78 was set in 2012. 7 inches of snow fell back in 1944.❄

Tomorrow should be a good day to kick off calendar spring. 🌷 Mild relatively speaking. I don’t know if I’ll get home early enough tomorrow will the mothership meeting to go down to the park but the evening walk will be nice.
