May 19, 2020 Night
Good evening! Partly cloudy and 59 degrees in Delmar, NY. β There is a east-southeast breeze at 7 mph. π. The skies will clear around 2 am. Pleasant spring evening. Busy day but after work I got to walk at Five Rivers πΆ and then get to the store π¬ and get some essentials.
Tonight will be mostly cloudy π₯, with a low of 45 degrees at 5am. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around May 10th. Southeast wind 5 to 7 mph becoming calm after midnight. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It was somewhat humid. It got down to 56 degrees. The record low of 29 occurred back in 2002.
Tonight will have a Waining Crescent π Moon with 6% illuminated. The Strawberry π Moon is on Wednesday, June 3. The darkest hour is at 12:53 am, followed by dawn at 4:57 am, and sun starting to rise at 5:30 am in the east-northeast (62Β°) and last for 3 minutes and 17 seconds. Sunrise is 53 seconds earlier than yesterday. π The golden hour ends at 6:11 am with sun in the east-northeast (69Β°). Tonight will have 9 hours and 12 minutes of darkness, a decrease of one minute and 52 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will be sunny π, with a high of 71 degrees at 4pm. Typical but still real nice tomorrow. Light and variable wind. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. It was somewhat humid. The high last year was 83 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 1962.
In four weeks on June 16 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (303Β°) at 8:35 pm,π which is 20 minutes and 13 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had rain and temperatures between 68 and 63 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 78 and 57 degrees. The record high of 96 degrees was set back in 1967.
Bought socks and a bunch of other essentials I’d normally get a Walmart online πͺ because they have virtually nothing in stock. Shop rite was well stocked this time I was there but they don’t sell clothing. I have no plans to visit a physical Walmart anytime soon.
Renewed my fishing license π£so that will be good for camping this weekend. I think I’ll want to do some good fishing for sure. Assuming the black flies aren’t so bad that all I want to do is hide in the tent πͺ which is arriving Thursday fingers crossed.
So it looks like I will be able to get out of town after all. βΊ I figured out a plan that I think will work but I have to get packed and ready by Thursday evening as I have need to be to camp by 9am as I plan to work from there and I want to make sure I get the campsite with good solar energy and cell reception. π± Camp three nights and then work from there on Memorial Day and drive home by dusk that evening. Bringing the kayak to paddle and maybe swim π on Saturday. I’m kind of excited about this and if it works out might be a model for future weekends. That said I’m kind of bummed out about Piseco Powley Road being closed due to the wash outs but hopefully it will be rebuilt this summer.
Looking ahead, Primary Day π³οΈ is in 5 weeks, Election Day 2020 π³οΈ is in 24 weeks and Election Day 2020 π³οΈ is in 24 weeks.
πΊπΈπ¦ Only 3 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!π¦ πΊπΈ
