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.
Good evening! Talk about a cloudy and gray day. But not too cold. Currently mostly cloudy and 57 degrees with a 7 mph northeast wind. Definitely a bit of sun peaking out to the west, so we might see some clearing in a bit.
Tonight will be mostly cloudy, with a low around 40. North wind around 6 mph becoming calm after midnight. Mild evening, about 14 degrees above normal. The record low of 4 degrees was set back in 1980. Winter’s bite is fading even if seasonal weather returns for Friday and the weekend.
Tonight the sun will set at 7:03 pm with darkness around 7:31 pm, which is 1 minutes and 10 seconds later than yesterday. Too bad the sky is so gray tonight except to the west.

Tonight we have a Waxing Cresent Moon with 46% illuminated. It will set at 12:37 am. The First Quarter Moon is next Tuesday.
Tomorrow will have a slight chance of showers before 1pm, then a chance of showers after 2pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 59. Light and variable wind becoming north around 6 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. That’s about 15 degrees above normal. The record high of 82 degrees was set back in 1990.
Looking ahead to the weekend we are seeing improved weather but typical mid March conditions. Saturday will be sunny, with a high near 40. Saturday night will be mostly clear, with a low around 24. Sunday will be partly sunny, with a high near 44.
I’m staying in town for the weekend. The Save the Pine Bush Hike is on Sunday at 2 pm. Undecided about Saturday but I might just hike out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center. The following weekend, the Easter holiday, I’m thinking about camping at the Cotton Hill Lean-to. We will see.
I hope your Tuesday is going well. Have a great evening!
A week ago, early on Tuesday morning, was the last time Albany got below freezing. That said, the warm spell won’t last. On Friday night, temperatures are expected to drop to 24 degrees. That is about 2 degrees below normal.

Happy Birthday to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who turns 83 today. A liberal justice, her replacement is likely to be picked by the next president. The next president will end up having a lot of power to pick the leadership of the Supreme Court.
Today being the Ides of March, in 44 BC Julius Caesar, Dictator of the Roman Republic, is stabbed to death by Marcus Junius Brutus, Gaius Cassius Longinus, Decimus Junius Brutus and several other Roman senators.

It was a pretty crazy day at work today. But I made it through the Monday.
This night I went to Brooklyn Night at the Empire State Plaza after work. It was fun evening after a long day at work.
My allergies in the past few days have been out of control. But the Clartin D has been helping to a certain extent.

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Currently It is raining outside and around 42 degrees with a 14 mph south-southeast wind, with gusts up to 25 mph. With the rain and breeze, we have a wind chill value around 35. Kind of a nasty morning to misplace one’s umbrella like I did. With the breeze, the umbrella really ain’t that useful.

Happy Pi Day on this 3/14. The math geeks really like this date. And hats off to the Linux geeks who made Linux kernel 1.0 a possibility, released today in 1994. I am old enough to remember when Linux kernel 2.0 was experimental on the PowerPC and 1.8 was the stable version. I don’t know what version of the kernel is modern now, as it’s been a long time since I’ve compiled my own kernel.
Today in 1964, Jack Ruby the questionable bar tender and general character was found guilty of murder of Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald killed President Kennedy back in November 1963. Or so does the public record reflect. Some blame Fidel Castro.

I certainly had an enjoyable weekend as you can see from the pictures I posted. It really was a great trip, even if it was only one overnight. But with the later sunset, soon I’ll be able to head up to the woods after work for camping.
I hope you had a good weekend. I’m dog tired. Good night. Sleep well!
