Good evening! Mostly clear🌌 and 23 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a north breeze at 6 mph. Cool night, I’m glad I didn’t go camping although the wind did die down. 🍃.
Tonight will be mostly clear 🌉 , with a low of 12 degrees at 6am. 15 degrees below normal. Maximum wind chill around 6 at 6am; North wind 3 to 6 mph. In 2017, we had mostly clear skies. It got down to 11 degrees. The record low of -8 occurred back in 1900.
Tonight will have a Waxing Crescent Moon 🌒 with 1% illuminated. The moon will rise at 7:53 am. The First Quarter Moon is on Friday night with mostly cloudy skies. The Blue Moon 🌝 is on Good Friday, March 30th. The sun will rise at 7:02 am with the first light at 6:34 am, which is one minute and 44 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 Tonight will have 11 hours and 55 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 55 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will be mostly sunny 🌞 , with a high of 33 degrees at 4pm. 12 degrees below normal. Cold but pleasant. Northwest wind 7 to 10 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 42 degrees. The record high of 69 was set in 2012. 8 inches of snow fell back in 1977.❄
Worked on some various projects around my apartment and went down to the library for a while. 📚 Had dinner, went shopping. A cold day for sure.
I went grocery shopping this evening, hoping to avoid the crowds in the morning. 🍒🍛🍳 This way I can get an earlier start in the morning if it’s not too cold. Also gassed up the truck so I should be good for the weekend. Cumberland Farms was closed when I went there with no power. Looked like their may have been an accident with a semi truck hitting the gas station canopy but it was hard to tell in the dark.
Fixed a buffer overflow on my GPS Logger 🌐and it’s temporarily mounted in my truck. Still fixing some minor bugs in the code but it works well. Added two additional LEDS to the board to show when the card reader isn’t working, when I don’t have a GPS signal and when everything is all hunky dory…. Red, yellow and green leds. You can guess which one is associated with each feature. Blinks for critical faults. Well hidden in my truck but records quite accurately, although sometimes the elevation is messed up. I don’t think GPS elevation is ever all that accurate although I think there is a way to check how accurate the fix is for elevation independent of location. Location and speed recording is very good, especially when you are moving. It’s on switched power so each time the truck starts, a new log is created.
In four weeks on April 14 the sun will be setting at 7:36 pm,🌄 which is 32 minutes and 3 seconds later then tonight. In 2017 on that day, we had mostly sunny skies and temperatures between 64 and 33 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 58 and 37 degrees. The record high of 83 degrees was set back in 1968.
Looking ahead, 7:30 PM Sunset 🌇 is in 3 weeks, Tax Day 💰 is a month away, Earth Day 🌎 is in 5 weeks, Cinco de Mayo 🤠 is in 7 weeks, Fathers Day 👨 is in 3 months and Consitution Day 👨🏭 is in 6 months.
🇺🇸🦅Only 68 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸
"The Great Migration was the movement of 6 million African-Americans out of the rural Southern United States to the urban Northeast, Midwest, and West that occurred between 1916 and 1970."
"Until 1910, more than 90 percent of the African-American population lived in the American South. In 1900, only one-fifth of African-Americans living in the South were living in urban areas. By the end of the Great Migration, 53 percent of the African-American population remained in the South, while 40 percent lived in the North, and 7 percent in the West, and the African-American population had become highly urbanized. By 1960, of those African-Americans still living in the South, half now lived in urban areas, and by 1970, more than 80 percent of African-Americans nationwide lived in cities."
"In computer security and programming, a buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is an anomaly where a program, while writing data to a buffer, overruns the buffer's boundary and overwrites adjacent memory locations."
"Buffers are areas of memory set aside to hold data, often while moving it from one section of a program to another, or between programs. Buffer overflows can often be triggered by malformed inputs; if one assumes all inputs will be smaller than a certain size and the buffer is created to be that size, then an anomalous transaction that produces more data could cause it to write past the end of the buffer. If this overwrites adjacent data or executable code, this may result in erratic program behavior, including memory access errors, incorrect results, and crashes."
Good morning! Happy Saint Patricks Day ☘️. Three weeks to 7:30 PM Sunset 🌇. Mostly cloudy and 23 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Do watch out for snow squalls when you drink your awful green beer. ❄ Also bundle up when you go out to the parades, as you don’t want to freeze off your snake 🐍when you are watching the St. Patricks Day parade.🍺 There is a west breeze at 9 mph. 🍃.
🌹🌻🌼Only 3 days remain until the first day of the calendar spring blizzard (which may be called off depending on who you ask) . ❄⛄🌀
Today, Saint Patricks Day ☘will have some widely scattered flurries before 10am, then a better chance of scattered flurries after noon once the wind picks up, freezing people’s snakes 🐍off during the Saint Patricks Day parade. Mostly sunny 🌞 , with a high of 35 degrees at 1pm. Eight degrees below normal. Breezy, with a northwest wind 9 to 14 mph increasing to 17 to 22 mph in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 33 mph. Going to fell mad cold for the Saint Patricks Day parades. ☘ Thanks, Trump! A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 40 degrees. The record high of 75 was set in 1990. 4.1 inches of snow fell back in 1982.❄
The sun will set at 7:04 pm with dusk around 7:32 pm, which is one minute and 10 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for mostly clear skies and27 degrees. There will be a north-northwest breeze at 14 mph. Today will have 12 hours and 2 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 54 seconds over yesterday.
Once I take a shower 🛀and get dressed, I’m going to bundle up and get my hair cut👨 so I look all swanky for work. Plus I’m mad lazy and I don’t like to have to bother combing my hair and I have a shit ton of gray popping up.😺 So I’m getting it cut this morning.
Tonight will be mostly clear 🌞 , with a low of 12 degrees at 5am. 15 degrees below normal. Maximum wind chill around 4 at 6am; Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light after midnight. In 2017, we had mostly clear skies. It got down to 11 degrees. The record low of -8 occurred back in 1900.
Finished mounting and wiring up my GPS Logger for Summer Road Trips.🌐🚙 I wrote the firmware about a month ago but I hadn’t permanently put it together on perfboard🔬 to make sure it stays together on the rough roads. I don’t have a case for it, but that may be unnecessary depending where I mount it in the truck. I added a Micro USB port to power it but I may eventually end up using the built-in voltage regulator and powering it directly from the truck, 🔌 assuming that the 15 volts plus that the truck puts out when it is cold isn’t too much for the small linear regulator built in the Arduino Nano. I guess I could order like 20 linear regulators from China for a buck and use one of that. Well buck that for now.
As previously noted, there are 3 weeks until 7:30 PM Sunset 🌇 with dusk at 7:57 pm. On that day in 2017, we had rain, cloudy skies and temperatures between 46 and 37 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 55 degrees. We hit a record high of 87 back in 2010.
