Good evening! Mostly clear and 32 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a west-northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour. Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 8 am. 🌡️

It was a good day, spent a lot of time in the woods walking 🚶, observing nature and so forth. Five Rivers in the morning, Schodack Island in the afternoon. My knees and leg have been a bit achy all day, in part from the cramp in the morning and also I think the Lyme disease 🐜.

Went shopping and got most of the supplies that I needed. 🍏 Probably too many – I shopped at Aldi and Walmart. I didn’t have enough reusable bags when I was in Walmart so I had to kind of overpack one of the bags. 🛄 I think the whole banning plastic bags is so silly but liberals like it. Honestly if when I move to a state with free plastic bags, I’ll be quite happy to use them again and chuck them in the burn barrel with the rest of the burnable trash. 🔥 Probably ventilated with a handgun 🔫 that I wouldn’t need a permit for in a free state. 🆓

I don’t get the need for the plastic bag bans when they’re talking about developing vast areas of land for solar farms. ◻With folks proposing 100 acre and even 1,000 acre solar farms what’s the big deal with sitting a 100 acre landfill that could provide disposal capacity for a region for a half century or more? 🚮OH, and I took my junk mail and waste paper to the recycling dumpster at the Park and Ride. Greeny of the year. ♻ LOL 😂.

I washed Big Red. 🚘 Wasn’t super dirty but I wanted to get the mud off it and residual salt off it before it warms up. Filled up the gas tank ⛽ as gas has come down in price due to everybody’s silly fears of a Corona Recession. Democrats really want a recession so they can replace the president, although nobody serious seems to be advancing in the primary. 🛄

Tonight will be partly cloudy 🌤, with a low of 19 degrees at 4am. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around February 24th. Northwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming calm after midnight. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 7 degrees. The record low of -2 occurred back in 1989.

Tonight will have a nearly Full 🌝 Moon with 96% illuminated. I saw it rising around 5 pm at Schodack Island State Park. At 9 PM, the moon was in the southeast (129°) at an altitude of 55° from the horizon, some 228,683 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by August 28^th. Buckle up for safety! 💺 The Worm 🐛 Moon is on Monday, March 9. The darkest hour is at 12:07 am, followed by dawn at 5:53 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:21 am in the east (96°) and last for 2 minutes and 55 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 41 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 6:59 am with sun in the east-southeast (103°). Tonight will have 12 hours and 25 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 55 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 57 degrees at 3pm. 16 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 12th. Calm wind becoming west 5 to 9 mph. Should be a nice day. Tempted to open some windows for fresh air in the morning. Definitely on Monday. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning, which became light snow by afternoon. The high last year was 34 degrees. The record high of 68 was set in 2012. 6.5 inches of snow fell back in 2013.❄

In four weeks on April 4 the sun will be setting in the west (279°) at 7:25 pm (Daylight Savings Time),🌄 which is one hour, 32 minutes and 28 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had mostly sunny and temperatures between 47 and 30 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 53 and 33 degrees. The record high of 79 degrees was set back in 1950.
