Good evening! Moon lit fog and 47 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌫 Calm wind. Another nice moon lit night for my evening walk 🚶🏻 🌖 with temperatures starting to cool off a bit.

It was nice hiking up at Partridge Run 🦆 although while I saw some common field birds and a few Ruffled Grouse not a lot of wildlife but it may have been the time of day. 🐿 So many chipmunks but the woods is so full of rodents lately.

Had a really nice Sunday dinner with the folks 🍲 and brought home some leftovers for later in the week. I had to tap my brakes when I saw a deer 🦌 and it fell off the seat but it was fine. Also mom made a good apple 🍏 pie 🥧.

Tonight will have patchy fog after 2am. Otherwise, mostly cloudy 🌫 with a low of 43 degrees at 4am. Typical for tonight. Calm wind. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became mostly clear by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 34 degrees. The record low of 26 occurred back in 1965.

I decided to close the windows tonight, ⬛ because the past few mornings have been very cold for waking up. While I doubt I’ll turn the heat on for at least another month or so ♨ it’s cold enough at night now that I think 🤔 I’ll be closing the windows before bed at least a few times a week.

Tonight will have a Waining Gibbous 🌖 Moon with 90% illuminated. At 10 PM, the moon was in the east (89°) at an altitude of 20° from the horizon, some 251,380 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by April 13^th. Buckle up for safety! 💺 The New 🌚 Moon is on Tuesday, October 20. The darkest hour is at 12:45 am, followed by dawn at 6:29 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:57 am in the east (95°) and last for 2 minutes and 54 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 7:35 am with sun in the east-southeast (102°). Tonight will have 12 hours and 26 minutes of darkness, an increase of 2 minutes and 51 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will have patchy fog before 9am. Otherwise, mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 66 degrees at 3pm. Two degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 1st. Maximum dew point of 48 at 12pm. Light south wind. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 59 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 1941.

Should be a nice Monday to get down to work. 💼 Probably work down at the library parking lot 🅿 for a while and then out back. With the sun setting early not a lot of time to get down to the park 🏞 after work these days.

My boots 👢 are in rough shape so I need to order tomorrow replacements. Probably just the same type I have and get them online to ensure they have my size without having to make a special trip to the store 🏬 to buy them.

In four weeks on November 1 the sun will be setting in the west-southwest (251°) at 4:47 pm (Standard Time),🌄 which is one hour, 43 minutes and 14 seconds earlier then tonight.
