February 4, 2017 Morning
“I’m not complaining about the weather. It’s not nuclear winter yet, there is still only a reasonable amount of Cesium 137 and Stronium 90 in our food and air. That said, our president is doing everything in his power to change that. Otherwise after a few minutes of sun, it’s cloudy and cold out. If the weatherman is to believed with his legendary accuracy somewhat less than the fuzzy hog of earlier in week, we might see some later.
So it is finally the weekend! Four weeks to Average High is 40. Overcast and 20 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a west-northwest breeze at 11 mph. The current wind chill is 8. That represents my feelings about today so far as it was bucking cold going to Stewarts to buy milk today with hopefully limited amounts of Stronium 90 and Cesium 137.
Right now I’m hardly enthusiastic about going out anywhere today with the cold gray skies but I may go hiking somewhere locally like maybe Wolf Hill later. Made breakfast up and doing some cleaning.
Today will be partly sunny, with a high of 30 degrees at 3pm. Two degrees below normal. West wind 11 to 14 mph. A year ago, we had rain and a high of 57 degrees. Not today though. The record high of 61 was set in 1991. 15.5 inches of snow fell back in 1926.
The sun will set at 5:14 pm with dusk around 5:43 pm, which is 1 minutes and 19 seconds later than yesterday. Today will have 10 hours and 9 minutes of daylight, an increase of 2 minutes and 28 seconds over yesterday.
Tonight will be mostly cloudy, with a low of 15 degrees at 5am. Typical for tonight. Southwest wind 5 to 8 mph becoming south after midnight. In 2016, it got down to 24 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. The record low of -15 occurred back in 1918.
In one month the average high will hopefully be at least 40 degreeswhen the sun will be setting at 5:49 pm with dusk at 6:17 pm.
