Good morning! What day is it? Day After Trump’s Final State of the Union Address or so we hope, of course. 👴 The president is such an jerk. I’m fairly conservative but I respect economists and scientists. Amazing that it took me nearly four years to figure that out but I did vote for Jill Stein. 🌎 Two weeks to February Save the Pine Dinner 🦋. Lasagna is always good. Its cloudy and dirty-dee and one third degrees as the Albany Web Blog’s Dan Van Riper would say taking the 18 bus 🚍 downtown in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a north-northwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 9 am. ☃️

The message may not move me or mean a great deal to me but it feels so groovy to say… And so goes I Dig Rock and Roll Music 🎶. I honestly don’t have to say much on this mid week. Bathroom sink is still slow so I dumped more drain solvent down it, had to spend a fair amount of time ironing my shirt 👚 and pants 👖 but that’s pretty common on dress up days. People say that I look so much nicer when I’m dressed up. That’s probably true. Lately it seems like the 8:10 bus is quite crowded, I don’t remember it being so busy weeks ago.

Today will be partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 37 degrees at 12pm. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 23rd. Northwest wind 6 to 9 mph. I’ll believe it if I see sun when I emerge from the dungeon at lunch time. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 57 degrees. The record high of 59 was set in 1890. 10.4 inches of snow fell back in 2014.❄

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:10 pm with sun having an altitude of 31.4° from the due south horizon (-39.5° vs. 6/21). The golden hour 🏅 starts at 4:33 pm with the sun in the west-southwest (242°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-southwest (249°) starting at 5:11 pm and lasts for 3 minutes and 7 seconds with dusk around 5:42 pm, which is one minute and 19 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At dusk you’ll see the Waxing Gibbous 🌔 Moon in the east (98°) at an altitude of 44° from the horizon, 237,504 miles away. 🚀 The best time to look at the stars is after 6:17 pm. At sunset, look for partly clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 31 degrees. There will be a north-northwest breeze at 5 mph. Today will have 10 hours and 8 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 27 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will snow before 5am, then snow and sleet. 🌨 Low of 26 degrees at 9pm. Eight degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 11th. Calm wind becoming east around 6 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow and sleet accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 25 degrees. The record low of -20 occurred back in 1948.

Cool but now sunny based on the latest forecast. 😎 Saturday, mostly sunny, with a high near 27. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 34. Typical average high for the weekend is 33 degrees.

While it’s going to be quite cold this weekend after the fresh snow I might go out to the wilderness for a night camping. ⛺ It will depend a lot on the snow depth and how windy it will be. I’m going to watch the snow over the next few days.

🌹🌻🌼Only 43 days remain until the first day of calendar spring!🌹🌻🌼

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until February Save the Pine Dinner 🦋 when the sun will be setting at 5:31 pm with dusk at 6:00 pm. On that day in 2019, we had cold, mostly sunny and temperatures between 24 and 4 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 36 degrees. We hit a record high of 66 back in 1981.
