May 3, 2023 Morning

One week until the average high is Seventy 🏖

Not that it will feel anything like seventy degree weather today but it like next week will be far more seasonable.

Good morning! What day is it? The State Budget is Done Day, of course. 🐪 Hump day and it feels good to be over the hump, knowing that there won’t be any really late nights anytime soon. Got home at 11:30 and that wasn’t so bad. And I’m up at six o’clock and out walking 🚶. Managed to get in 8.2 miles of steps in, working in steps into my day anyway possible. Sometimes the best thing to do is maintain a schedule and put one foot in front of the other.

Another really chilly start to the morning. Clouds and 42 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁️ Calm wind. The skies will clear Friday around 4 am. Hey, at least it’s not raining this morning.

Today will have a chance of showers, mainly after 11am. Cloudy 🌦, with a high of 52 degrees at 3pm. 15 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 1st. Calm wind becoming southeast around 6 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 67 degrees. The record high of 89 was set in 2001. There was a dusting of snow in 1986.❄

I think I’ll reheat those eggs I made up yesterday 🍳 and a fresh pot of coffee ☕. I have been drinking coffee more black these days as it’s healthier and gives more of a punch 👊 but I’ll probably use some skim milk with the hot coffee. Also want to cook up some rice 🍚 or coos coos this morning for lunch and or future meals. 🍴

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:53 pm with sun having an altitude of 63° from the due south horizon (-7.8° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 3.1 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:18 pm with the sun in the west-northwest (286°). 📸

Decided not to go to Queens night 👑 last night as I wanted to avoid all the unhealthy calories. 🛻 Instead I went home and got Big Red and also stopped by the store and got grapes 🍇. Sweet table grapes are kind of candy but they are better than eating candy. 🍬 Late nights are tough when you are used to going to bed 🛏 early and getting up early.

Tonight will have a chance of showers. Cloudy 🌧, with a low of 43 degrees at 6am. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around May 2nd. North wind around 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. In 2022, we had light drizzle. It got down to 50 degrees.

A picture perfect spring weekend on tap. 😎 Saturday, sunny, with a high near 64. Maximum dew point of 46 at 8pm. Sunday, partly sunny, with a high near 62. Maximum dew point of 43 at 11am. Typical average high for the weekend is 68 degrees.

A little on the cool side of things ⛺ but I’m thinking of taking a half day on Friday to get out of town. I’m still chewing over my options on where I want to go.

As a reminder, next Wednesday is Average High is 70 🐮 when the sun will be setting at 8:06 pm with dusk at 8:36 pm. The grass puppies and honestly myself likes that. On that day in 2022, we had sunny and temperatures between 77 and 39 degrees. We hit a record high of 92 back in 1970.
