Good evening! Mostly cloudy and 51 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a north breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. The dew point is 48 degrees. While not raining now, it’s kind of raw out with the dampness and the breeze. Exactly how I expect it to be the first few nights camping in West Virginia. 💨 The skies will clear around 11 pm.

I got my propane tank filed 🏮 and bought groceries 🍌 and gased up the truck ⛽ for vacation. I also scrubbed down the kitchen a little bit with bleach and got things put away. I got two additional 64 GB SD cards 🎴 to use with my dash cam for capturing video 📹 on my road trip.

I knew how wet tomorrow evening is going to be 💦and I certainly wasn’t going to get my propane tank filed in the pouring rain so I did that tonight. Wasn’t sure how busy I would be with work tomorrow. Plus I wanted to test out Big Red, 🚘he’s working good. Definitely needed propane, tank took 3.8 gallons to fill or 17.9 lb.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 40 degrees at 5am. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around October 13th. North wind around 9 mph. In 2018, we had cloudy skies. It was somewhat humid. It got down to 50 degrees. The record low of 29 occurred back in 1945.

Tomorrow will rain likely, mainly after noon. I know I’ll be bringing my rain coat to work. ☔ Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a high of 50 degrees at 1pm. 15 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 10th. North wind 5 to 7 mph becoming southeast in the afternoon. Definitely kind of raw. Practice for what I think at least one day in West Virginia will be like. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon.

Yes, I bought lots of soup and bread mix 🍞 so I’ll have plenty to cook and stay warm even if we have a few nasty weather days. And I’ll have tarps and books 📚 and will hot tent if necessary with my heater.
