Good evening! Partly cloudy and 23 degrees in Delmar, NY. ⛅ There is a south-southeast breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 9 am. 🌡️ Not so cold this evening, the wind has died down.

I was over a Cynthia Pooler apartment for a while trying to figure out how to make the Save the Pine Bush camera work properly 🎥 but we ran into some issues but were going to try to cut some video on Saturday but holding off on the top of the line people until we’ve mastered the camera.

I was a bit concerned about catching the bus home in time from her house but I hurried and made it in time. It’s really not far from the Executive Apartments to the bus stop at Price Chopper 🚏and the street lighting with the new LED lights makes walking 🚶 those streets far less creepy. I actually think that neighborhood has improved somewhat in recent years, I know some of my former co-workers used to live up there.

I had the fish sticks 🐠 and tater tots and green beans tonight that I wanted to have the other night. We were talking about all the fancy places people like to eat out but I just find restaurant food to be so wasteful and unhealthy. 🍴 I’m not much of a cook but I prefer to cook my own out of inexpensive ingredients that I buy in bulk at Walmart. It does get though at times though to come up with new meal ideas. But I’d rather save money 💵 and invest in a better tomorrow.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 22 degrees at 9pm. Eight degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 4th. Maximum wind chill around 13 at 9pm; South wind 9 to 14 mph. In 2019, we had partly cloudy skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 24 degrees. The record low of -13 occurred back in 1968.

Tonight will have a Waxing Crescent 🌒 Moon with 99% illuminated. At dusk you’ll see the moon in the east-northeast (72°) at an altitude of 16° from the horizon, some 235,958 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 The Wolf 🐺 Moon is on Friday, January 10. The darkest hour is at 12:03 am, followed by dawn at 6:54 am, and sun starting to rise at 7:26 am in the east-southeast (120°) and last for 3 minutes and 21 seconds.

South wind 10 to 13 mph. Better think about wearing my rain coat. Or maybe not. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 32 degrees. The record high of 55 was set in 2016. 7.3 inches of snow fell back in 1984.❄

In four weeks on February 6 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (249°) at 5:14 pm,🌄 which is 34 minutes and 45 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had rain and temperatures between 37 and 25 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 33 and 16 degrees. The record high of 55 degrees was set back in 1991.

Planning to get to sleep shortly. 😴 Then I will get up at 6:30 again. Not that I need to get up that early but it adds a lot more time to my morning, that is if I don’t hit the snooze button too much. ⏰ I like being up early, having a bunch of coffee ☕ and having a few minutes to watch the sun rise and not be so busy. Even on the weekend I might set the alarm as I’m learning how healthy a common sleep schedule can be.

Looking ahead, National Cheese Lovers Day 🧀 is in 2 weeks, Snow Moon 🌕 is a month away, 5:30 PM Sunset 🌆 is in 6 weeks, Worm Moon 🌕 is in 2 months and Flower Moon 🌕 is in 17 weeks.
