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. The population was 8,292 at the 2000 census, but it was not included as a CDP in the 2010 census.
In 2005, CNN/Money Magazine named the Delmar ZIP Code (an area larger than the Delmar hamlet or CDP) as one of the “Best Places to Live” in America, rating it the 22nd best place to live among what it called “Great American Towns.
All things must come to an end. The nice warm stretch of weather we’ve been having will be replaced with a frigid weekend. 53 degrees and cloudy this evening. Tonight will drop down to 43 degrees with mostly cloudy skies.
Saturday will be cloudy with a high around 55 degrees. Then cold weather comes around Saturday night with rain and snow showers that evening with a low of 22. Sunday will be windy and frigid. The high is only going to be around 35. More sunny in the afternoon.
Have a good evening. Sunrise around 6:33 AM. Sleep well.
Good morning! Happy Monday. It looks like this morning we are at 73 degrees with sunny but somewhat hazy conditions. We have a dew point right now at 65, but the dew point is expected to climb to a fairly oppressive 68 degrees by mid-afternoon. We are looking for a high of 87 degrees this afternoon with haze and sun and a chance of potentially severe thunderstorms.
Sunset this evening will be at 8:37 pm, and last light of the day around 9:12 pm. We will have a total of 15 hours and 8 minutes of daylight today. The moon will be nearly full tonight, rising around 8 PM.
I know none of us are big fans of Monday. But it was definitely a nice weekend out camping in the woods. Sometimes you have to go to work to make money to pay for all the bills. And the office is air conditioned — perfect to avoid the heat.
And the good news of course is that the weekend is only 5 days away. And is the nice thing is that in two weeks, it will be the Fourth of July Weekend, which this year happens to be a three day weekend. Not sure where I am going to go for the Fourth of July holiday, but it would be fun to go somewhere in the wilderness. I still need to pick up some fireworks. They were a lot of fun last year.
All and all, it should be yet another hazy, hot, and humid summer day. Be careful with those thunderstorms this afternoon, as some could be quite strong. But that air conditioning will feel good in the city, and by evening, it will cool down somewhat.
Good evening. As we head into the 11 PM hour, we are still around 67 degrees. I am certainly enjoying the fresh air this evening. After getting back from the park, I sat out back and enjoyed a few beers.
Too bad it’s cloudy, so we can’t see the stars at all tonight. The good news is the rain has held off for a bit. The best chance of rain is sometime tomorrow morning, most likely around 7 AM.
The low tonight is expected to 59 degrees, which is about 28 degrees above normal. Sunrise is at 6:35 AM and first light at 6:06 AM. Look for rain and 70 degrees tomorrow. There will be some clearing by afternoon in the evening.
Sleep well! Enjoy the fresh air and warm temperatures, as they won’t last.
Good morning! Happy Thursday. 50 degrees this morning and the birds are chirping outside. A lot of clouds but the sun is peaking through in parts. Could be nicer but at least it’s warn.
Today is definitely going to be a nice one assuming that the clouds don’t last all day. Partly sunny conditions, at least for the first half of the day and a high around 70. Breezy though. South wind 15 to 18 mph, with gusts as high as 30 mph. On the whole, bad for day for the last day of March. Sunset at 7:23 pm. Rain showers come in around 11 pm but mild conditions and a low of only 60 degrees. You’ll be able to leave your windows open and enjoy the fresh air tonight.
Tomorrow starts April. The creeks are stocked and trout season starts tomorrow. April is when it finally starts to get really spring like and when things green up. Looking forward to going on my April road trip.
Today in 1933, the Civilian Conservation Corps is established by President Franklin Roosevelt with the mission of relieving rampant unemployment and restoration of natural resources that had been damaged by poor agricultural, timber, and industrial practices. The CCC was a priority of Franklin Roosevelt who had a passion for scientific forestry and conserving our natural resources for all to utilize.
Also today in 1998, Netscape released Mozilla source code under an open source license. This set off a revolution in web browsers, eventually leading to open source and closed source browsers like Google Chrome and many embedded browsers on our mobile phones.
Happy Birthday to Al Gore. Today most remembered for his climate change activism, but he also was the unsuccessful Democratic candidate for president in 2000 and Bill Clinton vice-president. It seems likely that God will be on his side eventually for his climate activism, but unfortunately for the future of our world, he has been largely unsuccessful despite all his efforts to raise attention on the issue.
Enjoy this beautiful day at least before the clouds take over.
Clouds are starting to crowd out the stars but it’s still 50 degrees in Delmar. Went for a nice evening walk and watched the first half hour of the PBS Newshour. Donald Trump is still a jerk. Looking for a low of 43 degrees tonight under mostly cloudy skies. But still rather mild.
Seventy degrees with increasing clouds tomorrow. Rain showers Thursday evening but warm, with temperature not expected to drop below sixty. You will be able to leave your windows open all night tomorrow. Should be a great last day of March 2016.
Lots of sun this morning and at the 9 o’clock hour we are looking at 32 degrees as we head up to 57 degrees. Listening to Bobby Vinton’s Please Don’t Stop Loving Me as I head downtown on this sunny morning. The lack of wind and ample bright sunshine makes it feel quite warm.
Tonight in about 10 hours the sun will set around 7:20 PM with last light of the day around 7:50. Clear evening, around 50 degrees for the evening hour. I wouldn’t mind going to the park this evening, but we will see how things go at work. Without the last quarter moon rising until 12:45 AM, it will be a good night for viewing the stars, especially beyond the city lights.
Two months from now it will be Memorial Day. Seems hard to believe, especially with such cold weather predicted for the weekend. On 1909, the Queensboro Bridge in New York City opens, linking Manhattan and Queens. Ed Koch would be proud. That said, I like my pickup truck and I like the Chinese food in Canastota.
Happy Birthday to former Alaskan US Senator Mark Begich. A one term senator, he was a member of the Democratic party and defeated Ted Stevens who was in the middle of a major corruption scandal.
Good morning, Cold start to our Hump Day, around 29 degrees under Partly Cloudy skies. Despite the cold start, it will warm up to a pleasant 57 degrees under sunny skies. Light breeze. 50 degrees and partly cloudy around 7 PM and the low of 46 degrees by 6 AM. Sunset tonight at 7:20 PM.
