March 18, 2020 Night
Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 44 degrees in Delmar, NY. β There is a south-southeast breeze at 5 mph. π. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Saturday around 7 am. βοΈ
Today wasn’t a terrible day, sunny and I didn’t have to work in a basement office. π’ That said, I am a bit more concerned about keeping my laptop charged and working all day tomorrow without the sunshine. Going to be kind of cold too. Well I’ll do the best I can do, put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. πΆ It was for a while so crowded at Five Rivers but once I plowed into my work I kept things going. Then I went for a walk but I was always annoyed how hard it was to remain six feet away from others – people didn’t want to protect your personal space while I was out walking. π· Busy day tomorrow with both morning and afternoon meetings, and I’m hoping my solar will hold out all day.
Tonight will have a chance of rain between midnight and 3am, then rain and snow. π§ Low of 37 degrees at 6am. Nine degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 11th. South wind 5 to 8 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Little or no snow accumulation expected. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 24 degrees. The record low of -10 occurred back in 1967.
Tonight will have a Waining Crescent π Moon with 23% illuminated. The Pink πΈ Moon is on Thursday, April 2. The darkest hour is at 1:04 am, followed by dawn at 6:34 am, and sun starting to rise at 7:02 am in the east (90Β°) and last for 2 minutes and 54 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 45 seconds earlier than yesterday. π The golden hour ends at 7:39 am with sun in the east (97Β°). Tonight will have 11 hours and 53 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 55 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will rain and snow before 10am, then a chance of rain between 10am and 2pm. π§ High of 45 degrees at 4pm. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 17th. East wind 3 to 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. Little or no snow accumulation expected. A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies. The high last year was 45 degrees. The record high of 78 was set in 2012. 9.6 inches of snow fell back in 1971.β
So it looks like in three weeks I’ll do my camping trip βΊ. Not totally sure where I will go, it depends on how many days I have off and ultimately where I decide to go. The Northern Adirondacks might be nice for a change. π» There might still be snow up there – I don’t trust they winter is fully over yet. β Only time will tell.
In four weeks on April 15 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (284Β°) at 7:37 pm,π which is 32 minutes and one second later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had rain and temperatures between 63 and 41 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 58 and 37 degrees. The record high of 86 degrees was set back in 2003.
Looking ahead, April Fools Day π€‘ is in 2 weeks, Pink Moon π is in 3 weeks, Tax Day π° is in 4 weeks, Average High is 60 πΌ is a month away, Earth Day π is in 5 weeks, Flower Moon π is in 2 months, Latest Sunset π is in 14 weeks and Inauguration Day 2021 π΄π» is in 44 weeks.
