Good morning! Happy Tuesday. Next Tuesday is Election Day 2018 🗳️. Yes it is. Mostly sunny and 39 degrees in North Syracuse. ⛅ There is a west breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. Yes, I see the sun and blue skies, for the first time in weeks. Maybe this is good omen.It’s been a long time since we last saw the sun. 😎  Sun is making some good power on the solar panel, although I wish I had the meter wired to see how much. But rain and clouds is then expected Wednesday through Saturday.🌧

Today will be mostly sunny 🌞 , with a high of 47 degrees at 2pm. Seven degrees below normal. West wind 9 to 11 mph. Kind of a cool but sunny day. That will be good for charging my batteries in the truck, because all these dark and rainy days, with the short trips doesn’t keep things as solidly charged as I would like. A year ago, we had cloudy skies, clearing in the afternoon. The high last year was 70 degrees. The record high of 80 was set in 1946. 0.1 inches of snow fell back in 1925.❄

The sun will set at 5:58 pm with dusk around 6:27 pm, which is one minute and 21 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for mostly clear skies and 47 degrees. There will be a west-northwest breeze at 8 mph. Today will have 10 hours and 20 minutes of daytime, a decrease of 2 minutes and 38 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will have a slight chance of showers after 3am. Increasing clouds ☁, with a low of 39 degrees at 11pm. Four degrees above normal. Calm wind becoming southeast around 5 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2017, we had mostly cloudy skies, clearing in the early hours of the next day. It got down to 40 degrees. The record low of 18 occurred back in 1988. Pretty much a standard late October evening. Tomorrow, if you didn’t notice is Halloween. Trick or Treat? 🍬🎃

There are 7 days, 11 hours and 20 minutes until the poll close on Election Day in New York. 🗳 It’s coming closer. One step at a time. It will be over before you know it, and I will be back on vacation. Looking forward to some nice time camping.🏕

On that day in 2017, we had rain, mist, cloudy skies and temperatures between 63 and 42 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 52 degrees. We hit a record high of 73 back in 2015.
