Good evening! Partly clear and 38 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a northwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃. There are 2 inches of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Warm weather and relatively soft ground has done a number on the snow. Temperatures will drop below freezing around 1 am. ☃️

It was kind of a quiet day at work and gray outside. ☁ The stuff I needed to do for work I was able to handle using my smartphone so I ended up staying home. 📙 In the afternoon and evening I read a bunch of that book I got about Thomas Edison and went for my evening walk 🚶 after making a big pot of macaroni and cheese with all kinds of fixings. 🍲 I noticed that they spread a bunch of salt on the road tonight. How to wash my truck if the car wash is closed?

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 28 degrees at 6am. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 23rd. Northwest wind around 5 mph becoming calm in the evening. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 28 degrees. The record low of 0 occurred back in 1875.

Tonight will have a New Moon 🆕 . The Pink 🌸 Moon is on Tuesday, April 7. The darkest hour is at 1:02 am, followed by dawn at 6:23 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:52 am in the east (87°) and last for 2 minutes and 54 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 46 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 7:29 am with sun in the east (93°).

The record high of 74 was set in 1910. 1.9 inches of snow fell back in 1960.❄

Tomorrow I have a conference call midday and I’ll probably go out to Five Rivers Environmental Education Center for that then go hiking later 🚶 at least on the loop road which won’t be so muddy. I got to order a new pair of boots, the ones I wear everyday are worn. I also need to amend one of my tax payments to the state so it has the updated SEFCU routing number. 🔢

I am conceding that the president’s promise of the Coronavirus closures is probably a bit too optimistic 👾but I think everybody is looking for closure on this chapter of history but it’s going to take a while longer especially as the illness so rapidly spreads despite all the efforts to slow it. ⛔ Still I’m sure state bondholders are putting pressure on state leaders who are likewise seeing an enormous drop in revenue and the big cuts and tax hikes that will be needed to close the gap. 💵 And I know a lot of people want to get back to work. 👷

In four weeks on April 21 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (287°) at 7:44 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 56 seconds later then tonight.
