Good morning! Happy Average High is 65 🍂! Six weeks to Average Night Below Freezing 🌌. I’d say it’s rain showers and 50 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ Calm wind. Kind of a typical wet October day, seems like the kind I’ve spent too many days camping 🏕 in the autumn. 🍂

Slept in a bit this morning 💤 because of the rain and not needing to catch a bus downtown. 🚍 I heard the news 📰 last night that President Trump has the Coronavirus 👾and wasn’t that shocked 😲. A lot of politicians are getting it, they’re around a lot of people. 😷 That said, he really should be wearing a mask.

Today will have light rain likely before noon, then a chance of showers, mainly between noon and 3pm. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny 🌧, with a high of 61 degrees at 4pm. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 12th. Very much a wet rainy day. Maximum dew point of 51 at 11am. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. It was somewhat humid. The high last year was 75 degrees. The record high of 85 was set in 1927. There was a dusting of snow in 1899.❄

So I have that Zoom Meeting 📹 at eleven which I’ll do from the library parking lot. I am hoping to push live the theme for the blog, which hopefully will look nicer and be faster loading. I am trying to better display some of my photos and present my content in a more useful fashion.
