May 9, 2017 9 AM Update

Well for a while we had a fair bit of sun, but now it’s hiding behind the clouds. A little warmer than yesterday with temperatures around 48 degrees on our way up to 54 degrees. Not going to get really warm because of that cold arctic air filtering in from the north.

The sun will set at 8:05 pm with dusk around 8:37 pm, which is one minute and 6 seconds later than yesterday. At sunset, look for mostly cloudy conditions and 49 degrees. There will be a northwest breeze at 5 mph. Today will have 14 hours and 26 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 16 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy, with a low of 37 degrees at 5am. Eight degrees below normal. Northwest wind 3 to 5 mph. In 2016, it got down to 34 degrees with mostly cloudy skies. The record low of 28 occurred back in 1958.

As previously noted, next Tuesday is Average High is 70 when the sun will be setting at 8:12 pm with dusk at 8:45 pm. On that day in 2016, we had rain, mostly cloudy skies and temperatures between 59 and 39 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 70 degrees. We hit a record high of 89 back in 1991.

I tell you, I wouldn’t mind the Rex Block so much, if the weather was more stable on the weekends. The occasional blue skies and sunshine are fine, and I don’t mind the cold. But rain and clouds predicted every weekend just sucks.

I’m feeling better this morning. I think I may have inhaled some mildew cleaning on yesterday morning. The bleach is working but I have some other spots to hit by the window come tonight. . It’s been just so damp lately. Maybe I should get a face mask and where it while cleaning. I thought I had solved the mildew problem last year after many hours of extensive scrubbing with bleach, but it popped up again with the cold, damp weather.

Assuming I get out of work early enough today, I want to get to the grocery store to buy some soap and waffle mix. My slivers of soap keep getting smaller in the bathroom, and while I like having eggs for breakfast, I think I prefer waffles because it’s a faster breakfast to cook and clean up after. I got to get to Shoprite, because they have all the good different types of waffle mixes that I like.

I’m almost to work. Have a great day!
