Good evening! Cloudy and 32 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a west-northwest breeze at 13 mph. 🍃. Remarkably chilly out with the breeze. Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 11 am. 🌡️

Today was kind of lazy day, working on some code and other projects 📙walked down to the library for a bit and watched some YouTube videos 🎥I had previously download. Turned my bedroom lights green for a bit but I enjoyed being out of the busyiness of the week that was. The upside of today is that it was warm enough that the heat remained off in my apartment for the bulk of the day. Kind of raw for going for a walk around the neighborhood, 🚶 it was sleeting pretty hard when I walked down to the library earlier. I really should have ridden the excerise bike 🚲 more or gone for a walk but I was kind of fried from the week that was. Since reseasoning my cast iron skillet and using ample oil at low temperatures I was able to make awesome omlets again at home without that awful off taste. 🍳 Good breakfast today for sure.

Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. In 2018, we had light snow in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 15 degrees. The record low of -1 occurred back in 1916.

I’m ready to shut the heat off for the winter but gawd is not conforming. A year ago, we had partly cloudy in the morning, which became mostly sunny by afternoon. The high last year was 38 degrees. The record high of 75 was set in 1990. 4.1 inches of snow fell back in 1982.❄

Going to check the oil 🚗in the truck and fill the windshield washer reservior, bake some brownies and visit my parents house 🏡 tomorrow for Sunday dinner. They are making corn beef 🐃 and cabbage. 🍀Should be a good Saint Patricks Day. On the way out I’ll probably stop at Keheler Preserve and go for a walk there. I’m still trying to save gas and miles at least until the billing cycle closes on my credit card, so I don’t have to move money around to close out April and can make my April road trip a reality. Camp. ⛺

In four weeks on April 13 the sun will be setting at 7:35 pm,🌄 which is 32 minutes and 5 seconds later then tonight.

It got pretty nice out in last evening, it was 70 degrees in my apartment when I got home. Very comfortable. 😊 It had cleared out mid afternoon so I had a quick dinner 🍲 and went down to the park.

I didn’t bring a book 📙 as I know the sun still sets pretty early and I had my phone 📱 to play with. I thought 💭 about walking 🚶 the nature trail but the park ⛲ was very soggy from the recently melted snow with still frost in the ground below the snow.

Sitting down at the park a man approached and asked if he could sit down on the bench next to me. 👮 He looked a bit like a police officer or maybe a park staff person, wearing a yellow construction 🚧 vest like some of the officers do on traffic duty. I honestly figured it was a new park manager 🎄 just reminding people that the park closes up at dusk 🌆 except for around the tennis courts 🎾.

He asked if I was from around here. I told him sure, I live down the street. He asked about where I worked, and told him about my job downtown. I told him I came down for a walk 🚶, some fresh air and to get the free Wi-Fi 📶. I said it was a nice sunset. I said I like waking because it’s healthy and driving is kind of expensive.

That’s when things got kind of weird. 😜 He started talking about walking around Troy then asked if I heard the voices talking to him. I said it was getting late and I needed to head home 🏡. He just continued on the bench, and I walked away. He said, God bless and make sure to keep yourself clean.🚭 I’m glad that I don’t smoke or drink much anymore. It’s so unhealthy.

The whole situation was really kind of odd, especially because he was dressed nicely and well groomed like a traffic officer or park personnel with the uniform vest on. Maybe he was a town employee who has some mental issues but does a good job as a maintenence guy working 👷 for the parks department. Not appearing somebody who was mentally ill or for that matter inarticulate. But the guy really creeped me out. I guess some people are just odd balls. ⚽ I’ve never had that happen before over the nearly 12 years I’ve lived in Delmar. He seemed harmless but you never know.

I walked home 🏡 and got milk 🐮 at Stewart’s. I sat out back and had a beer 🍺 that I brought home from Brooklyn Night. After the sun set the temperature rapidly dropped, especially with all the melting snow around. I went inside, watched some videos and retired to bed.

Looking ahead, Arbor Day 🌳 is in 6 weeks, 8 PM Sunset 🌇 is in 7 weeks, Average High is 70 🐮 is in 2 months, June 🍹 is in 11 weeks, Fathers Day 👨 is in 3 months, Average High is 80 🏖 is in 14 weeks, Hottest Time of the Year 😅 is in 17 weeks, Last Sunset After 8:30 PM 🌆 is in 4 months and Average High Falls To 79 ️Degrees ⛱️️️ is in 23 weeks.
