Good morning! Happy Thursday on this second day of the month of May. Two weeks until the Average High is 70 🐮. Gray and cloudy with a few drops of rain here and there around 54 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. The dew point is 50 degrees. Not much of a temperature change last night. The skies will clear Monday around noontime. Maybe. They are talking about a hot and dry summer but I take that as a grain of salt.

I made eggs for breakfast 🍳 and then walked down to the express bus 🚍. A bit damp and I wish there was a bit more sun but so be it. The bus was on time and I’m on my way to work.

Today will have a slight chance of showers between 9am and 1pm. Mostly cloudy 🌦, with a high of 62 degrees at 1pm. Three degrees below normal, which is similiar to a typical day around April 24th. Maximum dew point of 56 at 1pm. South wind 3 to 5 mph. Maybe a few breaks of sun late? Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 90 degrees. The record high of 90 was set in 2018. There was a dusting of snow in 1986.❄

I am glad it’s no longer a session day, 👔although I guess l things considered it hasn’t been a terrible week. I wish it would be sunnier and nicer but beggers can’t be choosers. Not ninty degrees today but at least in the seventhies. My windows are open again. ⬛ This weekend I should probably wipe the kitchen and bathroom 🚽 down with bleach so no mildew pops up with the wet.

The sun will set at 7:56 pm with dusk around 8:27 pm, which is one minute and 7 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for mostly cloudy skies ☁ and temperatures around 62 degrees. The dew point will be 52 degrees. There will be a east-southeast breeze at 5 mph. Today will have 14 hours and 9 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 27 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 50 degrees at 4am. Seven degrees above normal, which is similiar to a typical night around May 24th. Southeast wind 5 to 7 mph. In 2018, we had mostly sunny. It got down to 61 degrees. The record low of 29 occurred back in 1966.

I added a low and high temperature function to the VMS sign I built at home. 📟 The next step is wire up and mount the outside temperature probe so I can monitor outside temperatures. Maybe this weekend.

As previously noted, there are 2 weeks until Average High is 70 🐮 when the sun will be setting at 8:12 pm with dusk at 8:44 pm. On that day in 2018, we had partly sunny, patches of fog and temperatures between 72 and 51 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 70 degrees. We hit a record high of 89 back in 1991.

Also, seven weeks until summer. 🌞I’m looking forward to it although spring has plenty to offer in the wilderness. I still want to get to Moss Island during the spring months. I didn’t get my turkey tag this year as I never get enough time in the woods but I can certainly camp and fish 🐠 during the spring time. Nights are getting pretty late at this point but the black flies are certain to be bad soon. 🐜 DEET works fairly good, I have bottles and bottles of it. Even so, black flies aren’t bad at night as they dissappear then and they aren’t too bad if you keep moving during the day.
