February 8, 2020 Night
Good evening! Mostly clear and 16 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a north-northwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. There are 2 inches of snow on the ground. β οΈThings will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 1 pm. 🌡οΈ
It’s cold out but not that bad without the wind. 🌕 Big ol full moon above with the icy white snow its not particularly dark out. I had a great time nice Sunday dinner with the folks, and nice hike at Holt Preserve. 🚶 Pretty with all the ice on the trees.
Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 12 degrees at 2am. Four degrees below normal. Maximum wind chill around 12 at 2am; Northwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening. In 2019, we had light snow in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 20 degrees. The record low of -20 occurred back in 1934.
Tonight will have a Full 🌝 Moon with 99% illuminated. At 9 PM, the moon was in the east-southeast (107Β°) at an altitude of 45Β° from the horizon, some 229,500 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by July 31st. Buckle up for safety! 💺 Yeah, that moon is a bit closer than usual but I’m not sure I’d call it a super moon as I think that’s kind of silly even if it’s a bit closer than sometimes. The darkest hour is at 12:10 am, followed by dawn at 6:34 am, and sun starting to rise at 7:03 am in the east-southeast (110Β°) and last for 3 minutes and 5 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 13 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 7:44 am with sun in the east-southeast (117Β°). Tonight will have 13 hours and 43 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 34 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will have a slight chance of snow showers. Partly sunny 🌦, with a high of 35 degrees at 3pm. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 15th. Calm wind becoming south 5 to 8 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 31 degrees. The record high of 57 was set in 1925. 13.7 inches of snow fell back in 1906.β
I will probably go skiing 🎿 or for a while hike tomorrow 🚶 before going to the grocery store. 🏬 Next weekend is Presidents Day Weekend but so far the forecast looks cold and cloudy for the second half of the week but that’s a while off. Plus I am filming 📹 Reszin at her birthday party 🎂 along with Leon Dyke for the Reszin Adam’s documentary that Cynthia Pooler is putting together.
In four weeks on March 7 the sun will be setting in the west (264Β°) at 5:52 pm,🌄 which is 35 minutes and 25 seconds later then tonight. At that point we will be setting the clocks 🕒 ahead an hour before bed as daylight savings time will be staring. In 2019 on that day, we had cold weather, mostly sunny, snow showers and temperatures between 26 and 4 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 41 and 22 degrees. The record high of 62 degrees was set back in 1974.
