Good morning! Happy the Thursday before Good Friday. ➕ Mostly cloudy and 38 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. No rain yet ☔ but it’s definitely coming this evening.

Kind of a dark and gray morning, which is expected to turn to rain later on today. 💦 At least it’s expected to remain fairly mild all night long and the spring peepers will enjoy it as I heard them for the first time last night when I was on my evening walk.🐸🐸 I should try to do my evening walk more often now that the weather is nicer. 😀

Today will have a chance of rain, mainly after noon. Cloudy ☔ , with a high of 50 degrees at 3pm. Typical for today. Calm wind becoming southeast 5 to 8 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. A year ago, we had cloudy skies, clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 50 degrees. The record high of 85 was set in 1946. 5.6 inches of snow fell back in 1984.❄

The sun will set at 7:18 pm with dusk around 7:46 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for rain 💦 and 49 degrees. There will be a south-southeast breeze at 9 mph. Today will have 12 hours and 37 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 52 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will rain. I hope your windshield wipers are working well. Patchy fog. 💦☔ Low of 45 degrees at 4am. 14 degrees above normal, near constant temperature for most of the night. South wind 7 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. In 2017, we had mostly cloudy skies, clearing in the early hours of the next day. It got down to 26 degrees. The record low of 7 occurred back in 1970.

I’m ready for whatever adventures today brings. I’m driving in, have five hour energy shots, sleeping bags and pads, pillow, extra comfortable clothes, etc. 💺Plus lots of food. I just hope if I move my truck at five I’ll be able to head home before I have to feed the meter in the morning. Kind of wish tomorrow was a Saturday so I wouldn’t have to worry.🌇 I hope to get at least a little bit of sleep if I’m stuck in the office all night,🔊 that is sleeping next to my phone on full loudness should things break.

Other than that, I am quite happy that most of my AliExpress orders have shipped.📨 That means even with customs they should arrive quickly. 🚧Only spent $11 but the components mean I’ll have a lot more options for projects I build going forward.

Maybe go camping on Saturday or at least hiking.⛺ Or maybe mount the solar panel on my truck. I’ll see how things go.

Looking ahead, there are 34 weeks until Thanksgiving 🦃 when the sun will be setting at 4:27 pm with dusk at 4:57 pm (Standard Time). It will come around once again on the calendar as it always does. When you get to be old like me, it always seems time goes by so quickly. On that day in 2017, we had rain, cloudy skies and temperatures between 46 and 34 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 45 degrees. We hit a record high of 70 back in 1931.
