December 14, 2020 Morning

Good morning! Monday’s come back around again. Looks like it’s going to be a cold and snowy week coming up. Next Monday is First Day of Winter ☃️. Cloudy and 34 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ Calm wind. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 9 pm. ☃️

It looks this week will have some snow 🌨 but the question remains how much. Nothing yet this morning but maybe some later on today. Only time will tell. Do we get just a dusting or a few inches from the storm on Wednesday evening? I am not really sure but I’m leaning towards less snow ⛄ and more cold. Even if we get snow I’m not seeing it last because I think there is a warming trend ahead. But what do I know, I’m biased as I want to camp during Christmas holiday 🎄 in the Adirondacks.

Today will snow have snow showers, mainly before 11am. Cloudy 🌨, with a high of 35 degrees at 3pm. One degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around December 17th.

A year ago, we had partly cloudy skies in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 46 degrees. The record high of 63 was set in 1901. 12.5 inches of snow fell back in 1956.❄

As I was running 🏃🏻 a bit late, I did my morning walk over at the Swift Preserve. Spotted a red tail hawk which almost grabbed a chipmunk 🐿 there but he got away. 🐦 No bluebirds today but a bunch of house sparrows were hanging out in the preserve today. It’s nice having that little area so close to home, even if it’s just some wetlands that a developer wasn’t allowed to develop.

Today in 1994, started construction begins on the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze river.🌊 The Three Gorges Dam has been the world’s largest power station in terms of installed capacity (22,500 MW) since 2012. ⚡ In 2014, the dam generated 98.8 terawatt-hours (TWh) and had the world record, but was surpassed by the Itaipú Dam, which set the new world record in 2016, producing 103.1 TWh. 🏛️Also, today was a notable date in civil rights history, with the release of the Heart of Atlanta Motel, Inc. v. United States, 379 U.S. 241 (1964), a landmark United States Supreme Court case holding that the Commerce Clause gave the U.S. Congress power to force private businesses to abide by Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination in public accommodations. 🖤

Ashokan Mountain

February 4, 2020 Night

Good evening! Cloudy and 37 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☁ There is a northwest breeze at 9 mph. 🍃. There is a dusting of snow on the ground. ☃ Temperatures will drop below freezing around 3 am. ☃️

I went over to John Wolcott house for a few hours after work 🔎and continued working on his files. 📂 It’s been well over a year, one night most weeks. Learned a lot. I’ve started to tape record the audio 🔉 to capture some of our conversations. Now to just finish up the labels 🔖.

That bus really was smoking 💨 bad this evening. 🚍 I wonder if it’s an issue with the particle trap, I didn’t see it smoking downtown when I got one but I swear I’ve seen that bus smoking before but not all of the time. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of it at the end of my walk but no such luck.

Mild evening, I went for my evening walk 🚶. Not too cold out which is nice. I listened to a bit of President’s State of the Union address before turning it off. Honestly I’m hoping it’s Trump’s final state of the union and we will have a new president giving an inauguration address next year. 📝 I think the delayed results of the democratic caucus in Iowa kind of took all of the air out of the news cycle for the president. I’m sure he will be acquitted of the removal process later this week and hopefully we’ll have a new president soon.

Tonight will be cloudy ☁, with a low of 29 degrees at 6am. 14 degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 24th. Northwest wind around 10 mph. 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 32 degrees. The record low of -15 occurred back in 1918.

Tonight will have a Waxing Gibbous 🌔 Moon with 79% illuminated. At 9 PM, the moon was in the south-southwest (205°) at an altitude of 68° from the horizon, some 240,057 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 August 4th. Buckle up for safety! 💺 The Snow ❄ Moon is on Sunday, February 9. The darkest hour is at 12:10 am, followed by dawn at 6:38 am, and sun starting to rise at 7:08 am in the east-southeast (112°) and last for 3 minutes and 8 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 7 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 7:49 am with sun in the east-southeast (119°). Tonight will have 13 hours and 53 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 27 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 33 degrees at 2pm. One degree above normal, which is similar to a typical day around February 6th. Northwest wind 6 to 9 mph. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 57 degrees. The record high of 59 was set in 1890. 10.4 inches of snow fell back in 2014.❄

In four weeks on March 3 the sun will be setting in the west (262°) at 5:47 pm,🌄 which is 35 minutes and 50 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had partly cloudy, snow showers and temperatures between 39 and 29 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 39 and 21 degrees. The record high of 64 degrees was set back in 2002.

Looking ahead, Don’t Cry over Spilled Milk Day 🥛 is in 1 week, National Drink Wine Day 🍷 is in 2 weeks, Average High is 40 ☀️ is a month away, St. Patrick’s Day 🍀 is in 6 weeks, 7:30 PM Sunset 🌇 is in 9 weeks, 8 PM Sunset 🌇 is in 3 months, Cinco de Mayo 🤠 is in 13 weeks, Primary Day 🗳️ is in 20 weeks, Election Day 2020 🗳️ is in 39 weeks and Election Day 2020 🗳️ is in 39 weeks.

🇺🇸🦅Only 107 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸
