March 6, 2020 Night

Good evening! Cloudy with a few snow flurries around and 36 degrees in Delmar,. NY. ❄ There is a north breeze at 14 mph. πŸƒ. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 1 am. β˜ƒοΈ

Stayed home, worked on some minor issues on the blog and did some reading πŸ“–. Finished off the last container of leftovers I have in the freezer. 🍲 Definitely have to go shopping tomorrow. Going to set my clocks ahead tonight so I can practice getting up earlier this weekend as that first Monday after the time change is never fun. 😴

Tonight will be scattered rain and snow showers before midnight, then scattered snow showers between midnight and 4am. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 27 degrees at 6am. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 19th. North wind 10 to 14 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. In 2019, we had light snow in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 4 degrees. The record low of -6 occurred back in 1950.

Tonight will have a Waxing Gibbous πŸŒ– Moon with 91% illuminated. At 10 PM, the moon was in the south (181Β°) at an altitude of 68Β° from the horizon, some 230,565 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. πŸš€ At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by August 28th. Not too far away but not a super moon but you better bring a GPS for safety. Buckle up even in the rear seat for safety! πŸ’Ί The Worm πŸ› Moon is on Monday, March 9. The darkest hour is at 12:08 am, followed by dawn at 5:55 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:23 am in the east (97Β°) and last for 2 minutes and 55 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 40 seconds earlier than yesterday. πŸŒ„ Spring is coming, alas the due east sunrise. The golden hour ends at 7:01 am with sun in the east-southeast (103Β°). Tonight will have 12 hours and 28 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 54 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be partly sunny, then gradually becoming sunny 🌞, with a high of 41 degrees at 2pm. Typical for Tomorrow. North wind 11 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Should be a nice day but blustery. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning with some clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 26 degrees. The record high of 62 was set in 1974. 10.3 inches of snow fell back in 1967.❄

Tomorrow morning plan to get up bright and early β˜€ and walk out to Five Rivers. Hopefully it won’t be too cold with the wind πŸƒ. I can always bundle up and the sun will help with the higher angle.

In four weeks on April 3 the sun will be setting in the west (278Β°) at 7:24 pm (Daylight Savings Time),πŸŒ„ which is one hour, 32 minutes and 33 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had partly sunny and temperatures between 62 and 32 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 53 and 33 degrees. The record high of 79 degrees was set back in 1981.

Still struggling to get my blog to update properly. πŸ“ Seems like something is wrong with the app. I will have to explore it more to figure out what is going on although I have some ideas. Sometimes the WordPress app is just funky. Yes, I use WordPress as the back end for my blog. I am a cheater.

Looking ahead, 7 PM Sunset πŸŒ† is in 1 weeks, Spring 🌷 is in 2 weeks, Good Friday ✝️ is in 5 weeks, May πŸ•Š is in 8 weeks and 8:30 PM Sunset ️⛱️ is in 13 weeks.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈπŸ¦…Only 76 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!πŸ¦…πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Still Some Deeper Snow In Parts

Many types of air pollution from automobiles and electricity generating plants do the exact same thing as Coronavirus to your lungs, but because it’s slower in its impacts, not newsworthy

Many types of air pollution from automobiles and electricity generating plants do the exact same thing as Coronavirus to your lungs, but because it’s slower in its impacts, not newsworthy.

Carbon monoxide at low levels common in most cities increases your risk of accute heart failure, sulfur dioxide and ozone – which is literally acid – is burning your lungs up from inside.

New invasive species found in Oneida Lake, described as β€˜one of the more disruptive’ pests – newyorkupstate.com

Oneida Lake has a new invasive species to contend with – the spiny water flea.

Spiny water fleas (scientific name: Bythotrephes longimanus) were first discovered in the lake back in September in samples collected by Cornell researcher Kristen Holeck, who was holding a Cornell Field Biology class on the waterway. Their widespread presence in the lake was subsequently confirmed a few days later by additional sampling by biologists from the Cornell Biological Field Station in Bridgeport on the lake’s south shore.
