Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Three weeks to Tax Day 💰. I better make sure that I put some money aside to pay the state, especially as I fork over money this week for auto insurance. It’s gotten expensive since I’ve increased my liability coverage. After a cloudy start to the now have high clouds with the sun peaking through⛅ and 33 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. Not a terrible morning with the big sun ball but no blue skies are to be seen.

Today will be partly sunny with high clouds making the sky gray☁⛅ , with a high of 50 degrees at 3pm. One degree above normal. Light southeast wind becoming south 10 to 15 mph in the morning. A year ago, we had cloudy skies. The high last year was 47 degrees. The record high of 78 was set in 1998. 6.7 inches of snow fell back in 1959.❄

The sun will set at 7:16 pm with dusk around 7:44 pm, which is one minute and 9 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for clouds ☁ and 43 degrees. There will be a south breeze at 10 mph. Today will have 12 hours and 31 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 54 seconds over yesterday.

Warm enough today that I decided to once again shut off the heat at home. 💥No sense in heating a vacant apartment if I’m going to be at work all day, and there is no danger of freezing over the next few days. If it’s a bit cool when I get home I’ll turn the heat back on and wear a sweater.

Caught an earlier bus downtown today, 🚌 so hopefully today won’t be such a rush at work as I get things ready for the morning. Yesterday was such a zoo catching the later bus in. 📰📜I also brought in candy to refill my candy jar.🍬 Going to be a long day at work 🍛 so packed both a breakfast and a lunch. Maybe I’ll catch the eight fifteen home tonight but I’m not optimistic.

Tonight will have rain likely, mainly after 2am. Cloudy ☔ , with a low of 34 degrees at 5am. Three degrees above normal. South wind 7 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. In 2017, we had cloudy skies with some clearing in the early hours of the next day. It got down to 38 degrees. The record low of 3 occurred back in 1923.

Maybe based on the latest forecast, I’ll go tent camping Friday night into Saturday or maybe even Easter. ⛺🌃 It would be fun with the full moon. Probably too much snow everywhere remains to drive back to a campsite but I could tow a tent on that plastic sled I have. I don’t know. Really depends on how tired I am after the late nights at work. 💤

As previously noted, there are 3 weeks until Tax Day 💰 when the sun will be setting at 7:40 pm with dusk at 8:09 pm. On that day in 2017, we had rain, partly cloudy skies and temperatures between 66 and 46 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 59 degrees. We hit a record high of 91 back in 2002.
