October 22, 2019 Night
Good evening! Light rain and 52 degrees in Dormansville, NY. β It’s a soft drizzle on my truck cap roof. There is a south-southeast breeze at 7 mph. π. The dew point is 50 degrees. The skies will clear tomorrow around 7 am – daybreak. Last night camping in the truck for a while – I think it’s increasingly unlikely I’ll head out of town this weekend. Warm and dry in here, it’s a pretty mild night.
I looked at the weekend forecast β and I don’t think it looks good for heading out of town. Friday looks cloudy and damp and while Saturday is fine, Sunday looks like rain starting in the morning. But I think I’d rather spend time at home π‘ doing some cleaning, trying to get of the musty smell and maybe fixing the leaky sink drain pipe. I could call the landlord but I don’t think it’s a big deal.
It’s been a long week every night π driving out to the folks house after work and sleeping π΄ in my truck. It’s fine but I miss my real bed. I also have some electronics projects that I want to work on and John Wolcott has been trying to get me to come back over to work on his history project. Plus Monday is kind of a big transition at work for me so I want to be well rested for that.
Tonight will have showers. Patchy fog after 4am. π§ Low of 48 degrees at 6am. 10 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around September 27th. Southeast wind 5 to 7 mph becoming west after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. In 2018, we had cloudy skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 42 degrees. The record low of 20 occurred back in 1969.
Tonight will have a Waning Crescent Moon π with 21% illuminated. The moon will rise at 1:24 am. The New Moon is on Saturday night with mostly clear skies. The Beaver Moon π is on Monday, November 11th. The sun will rise at 7:17 am with the first light at 6:48 am, which is one minute and 12 seconds later than yesterday. π Tonight will have 13 hours and 14 minutes of darkness, an increase of 2 minutes and 44 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will have a chance of showers before 8am. Patchy fog before 7am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, then gradually becoming sunny π, with a high of 58 degrees at 2pm. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 21st. Maximum dew point of 47 at 6am. West wind 8 to 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 59 degrees. The record high of 81 was set in 1947. 0.5 inches of snow fell back in 2002.β
When I got out to my parents house, I watched some YouTube videos πΉ and worked on some code. It was raining to hard to go for a walk. πΆ I look forward to being back home once again and either taking the bus or walking around town to where I need to go.
I am definitely hoping we still have a few more weeks until snow β. Sure it can happen any time now but usually we don’t get much snow until after Thanksgiving and sometimes not until January so I can get out in the backwoods with Big Red.
Not going to replace my phone π± yet but it’s definitely on my radar when my phone finally stops charging or working for good. Having found my Bluetooth headphones π§ and having decent luck with other charging cables I’m happy with things as they are.
In four weeks on November 19 the sun will be setting at 4:30 pm (Standard Time),π which is one hour, 32 minutes and 57 seconds earlier then tonight. In 2018 on that day, we had snow showers, partly cloudy and temperatures between 40 and 32 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 47 and 31 degrees. The record high of 71 degrees was set back in 1921.
