Good morning! Happy Northern Zone Regular Season 🦌! Two weeks to Halloween 🦇 and the Blue Moon 🌕. I bet the Marcells will approve. Should be extra spooky this year but not many kids trick or treating 🎃 due to the Corona. 🕸️ It’s sunny and 42 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌞 There is a northwest breeze at 8 mph. 🍃.

Today should be a really nice day. 🌅 Right now there isn’t a cloud in the sky. Just finishing up breakfast 🍳 and I will take a quick shower 🚿, check the oil 🛢 in Big Red and be off. 🚘

Today’s plans include Glimmerglass State Park and spending some time walking 🚶🏻 around Cooperstown then camping 🏕 and heading down down to Sherburne and the Environmental Education Center come morning. Going to drive back to Albany come Monday morning as it looks like rain. I was hoping for a long weekend of remote work 💻 while the weather was nice but that was nice to be. So just a regular weekend trip.

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 59 degrees at 4pm. Typical for today. Northwest wind 8 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning, which became mostly sunny by afternoon. The high last year was 52 degrees. The record high of 85 was set in 1947. There was a dusting of snow in 1970.❄
