Delmar is a hamlet in the Town of Bethlehem, in Albany County, New York, United States. It is a suburb of the neighboring city of Albany. The community is bisected by NY Route 443 (Delaware Avenue), a major thoroughfare, main street, and route to Albany.
A census-designated place (CDP) has been established since 1980 by the U.S. Census Bureau for tabulating the population of what the census has defined as the boundaries of the urbanized area in and around Delmar.

Well it’s the Hump Day Commute home. Traffic is moving well. Three days remain until New Years Eve. Then it will be 2017, and one year closer to my retirement in the year 2050. 31 degrees and cloudy here in the city. There is a west-northwest breeze at 9 mph.
Still feel a little sick this evening, body aches, stomach sickness, and a bit out of it. Probably just another common cold. So be it. I’m ready for tomorrow’s snow having a good winter coat but I don’t expect it to be a major winter event.

It doesn’t sound like a major snow storm. Warm temperatures will minimize snow production and keep the roads from getting snow covered. Maybe 4 inches if even that. The snow will come down slowly and won’t be a major event at least in the city.
1 inch – 9 AM
2 inches – 1 PM
3 inches – 6 PM
Tonight I probably will go to the maul to see if I can get another sportscoat for work. My current one is wearing out and I really should have two. At $100 a piece I might try to get two if in stock. I would order online but I don’t know the size.

On another dark morning as we wait around for the sun to rise at 7:25. Waiting for the coffee to percolate. Near constant temperatures throughout the day with us currently at 35 degrees with a west breeze at 6 mph. That breeze will make it feel a bit cooler. Most of the day will be cloudy but there will be times of sun. There are snow showers north of the city that will be pushing south but no accumulation to the south.
Tomorrow will snow. Looking at maybe 4-6 inches of snow in the Albany area. Not a big blizzard but it will impact commutes on Thursday evening and possibly a little on Friday morning. Biggest issue is reduced visibility and snow covered roads.
