Delmar, New York

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.

June 5, 2015 evening

|

At the 9 o’clock hour we are at about sixty with clouds. Rain showers are heading our way. Clearing out for Saturday and Sunday with temperatures in the mid-70s in the city.

Still chewing over my weekend plans. Maybe go out fishing somewheres. Maybe go for a paddle. It also would be nice weather for hiking. Maybe North-South Lake in the Catskills? Or maybe I’ll stay local.

I am hoping that the spare tire comes in Big Red so I can figure out how to mount it in the truck bed. I have already picked a location, it’s just a matter of adjusting the shelf to make sure it fits properly.

Good morning, Happy Sunday. At the 9 o’clock hour we are at 58 degrees and falling. A break in the rain, more is coming later. Two inches is expected by the time this wraps up on Tuesday. Not a flood but it will get us out of our rain deficit.

The second half of the week looks cool but clear except for a chance of showers on Friday. Next weekend looks good with the kind of warmth expected for early June.
Official summer is now only 3 weeks away and the legislature is expected to meet only 10 more times before summer recess.

The first band of rain has reached Albany and while it was intense it was short. It remains around 76 degrees with a sticky dewpoint of 69.

Heavier rain is expected by morning with temperatures decreasing throughout the night and into the morning.

Over the next day Albany is expected to get 1-2 inches of rain the heaviest on Monday. Not record breaking but still much needed after the dry spring conditions. Even after the rain, we’ll be starting June with a deficit.

Have a great evening. At this point you should be dry for a few more hours.
