Good morning! Happy Dark Thursday. 😊 No power still this morning. 🔌 Next Thursday is Average High is 60 🍂. Mostly sunny and 43 degrees in the land of the Delmartian. There is a west-northwest breeze at 15 mph. 🍃 with gusts up to 25 mph 💨💨💨.

I still can’t believe there is no power in Delmar. 🔌 There are a few branches down but not a lot. The traffic lights 🚥 are working mainly because they’re on portable generators. Nice morning though. 🌅

I ended up eating breakfast out back. ☕ Fresh coffee on a cold but sunny morning is always a good thing. 🍳 Camp stove works fine without electricity.

Out for my morning walk 🚶🏻. I thought they had power back on in Delaware but it’s just a generator. ⚡

Today will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 59 degrees at 4pm. Four degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 17th. Breezy, with a northwest wind 15 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 33 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 65 degrees. The record high of 80 was set in 2017.

I guess if you are going to loose power this is the weather to be in the dark. 🌃 Nights are long but you don’t need heat ♨ but it’s cool enough that my refrigerator packed full of ice should be good for a few days.

It looks like I won’t be getting
