Good morning! Yeah, it’s Friday! ☺ Looking forward to the weekend. Two weeks to May 🕊. Sunny and 33 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☀ There is a west-southwest breeze at 5 mph. 🍃.

Cold enough this morning I wish I had the heat on. ♨ It’s still mid April so it will warm up by midday but get cloudy. ☁ I’m fully expecting to wake up to snow tomorrow morning at camp but it will be gone by midday as it’s going to be the mid 40s by midday Saturday and 50s on Sunday with lots of sun. ☀ Looking forward to getting away for a few days.

Today will have a slight chance of snow showers before 8am. Increasing clouds 🌦, with a high of 50 degrees at 4pm. Nine degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 29th. West wind 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 62 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 2002. 0.3 inches of snow fell back in 1965.❄

Solar noon 🌞 is at 12:55 pm with sun having an altitude of 58.1° from the due south horizon (-12.7° vs. 6/21). A six foot person will cast a 3.7 foot shadow today compared to 2.2 feet on the first day of summer. The golden hour 🏅 starts at 7:02 pm with the sun in the west (279°). 📸 The sunset is in the west-northwest (286°) with the sun dropping below the horizon at 7:40 pm after setting for 3 minutes with dusk around 8:09 pm, which is one minute and 8 seconds later than yesterday. 🌇 The best time to look at the stars is after 8:45 pm. At sunset, look for rain 🌧 and temperatures around 43 degrees. There will be a west-southwest breeze at 7 mph. Today will have 13 hours and 30 minutes of daytime, an increase of 2 minutes and 44 seconds over yesterday.

I am going to try to leave fairly early ❄ to avoid snow squalls on my trip as I don’t want to deal with winter dropping snow on the roads and have to drive through all that crap plus have time to gather dry wood for the fire 🔥.

Tonight will rain likely before 10pm, then rain and snow likely between 10pm and 11pm, then snow after 11pm. 🌧 Low of 32 degrees at 4am. Six degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 2nd. Southwest wind around 6 mph becoming light and variable in the evening. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible. Less snow north. I doubt there will be much on the roads but maybe salt. I’m happy that the car wash is open. 🚘 In 2019, we had partly cloudy skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 46 degrees. The record low of 21 occurred back in 1948.

Tomorrow will rain and snow before 11am, then a chance of rain between 11am and 2pm. 🌧 High of 47 degrees at 4pm. 11 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 27th.

Good evening! Partly clear and 40 degrees in Delmar, NY. I 🌃 There is a west-northwest breeze at 6 mph. 🍃. Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 3 am. ☃️

I sat out back for a while. ✨ Kind of a starry night but admittedly it feels more like March then mid April. I guess I shouldn’t wish too much for balmy nights – they’ll be here before you know it. 🍨I just hope the ice cream sales at Stewart’s return by then.

It was a nice day, fairly quiet day at work from home, 💻 followed by a nice walk at Papscanne Island Nature Preserve. Went down to the laundromat mid day with my laptop. 👚 👖 At the nature prserve there was lots of birds 🐦 and wetlands to observe in the backwaters of the Hudson River 🐸 . I went there about five years ago now, I didn’t explore the area fully that time. While I left my camera home I took my phone with me and took a bunch of pictures that I’ll upload the next time I’m on the internet with my laptop. 📶

I have a shopped at Aldi’s today, which despite spending $71 I still was missing some essentials. 🍏 It’s a nice small store and it was quick in and out with folks sanitizing the carts out front – no quarter 💱 required this time. I’m actually kind of wearing out my love for Aldi – I wish they had more bulk packaging and some of their prices really aren’t competitive with Walmart or even the overpriced suburban groceries around. That said, I did buy a lot of extra food for camp and next week so to avoid the stores as much as possible.

That said, getting home I forgot chillis for the burritos 🍥I plan on making up at camp and they didn’t have razors or beer or motor oil and night crawlers. 🍻 I’ve been avoiding Walmart since the pandemic got underway but I may end up driving there and to the bank in Glenmont tomorrow, prior to my weekend trip. ⛽ Truck is all gassed up. I was trying to avoid going to the store again but I’ll try to do it at Walmart tomorrow in a one shot deal. Every time I go out in public even with the face mask – well the bandana 😷 – I know I’m expanding my risk of getting critically sick.

I was reading the news 📰 and that 39 year old farmer and his pregnant wife with Coronavirus just outside Canastota. 👾The farmer is hospitalized and is relatively healthy besides asthmaand probably a bit chubby too many years of drinking lots of milk straight from the bulk tank and take out in the tractor cab. 🐮 Two of the farm workers are also sick says the article. Seems like Coronavirus is quite wide spread in the Central New York farming community from recent reports I’ve seen in the news. Madison County has been particularly bad on a per capita basis 👥and they have a lot of agriculture there especially in the hills and valleys of the southern part of the county. You wouldn’t think that the air flow of barns 🐽 and UV light ☀ outside would be that conducive to the virus like the dense elevators and subways of New York City 🚉. It’s kind of scary as I know a lot of folks out in Madison County and and I have more in common with many of them as the densely packed New York City. 🌆

Tonight will have a chance of rain and snow showers between 11pm and 1am, then snow showers likely. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 31 degrees at 6am. Seven degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 31st. Northwest wind 3 to 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than one inch possible. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became partly cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 37 degrees. The record low of 22 occurred back in 1981.

Tonight will have a Last Quarter 🌗 Moon with 39% illuminated. The Flower 🌷 Moon is on Friday, May 1. The darkest hour is at 12:56 am, followed by dawn at 5:45 am, and sun starting to rise at 6:14 am in the east-northeast (76°) and last for 2 minutes and 59 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 37 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 6:52 am with sun in the east (82°). Tonight will have 10 hours and 33 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 45 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be mostly sunny 🌞, with a high of 45 degrees at 3pm. 14 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 18th. Northwest wind 9 to 15 mph. That is going to be a cold one, probably one of the coldest on record for day time highs for April 16th. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning with a few breaks of sun the afternoon. The high last year was 58 degrees. The record high of 91 was set in 2012. 5.3 inches of snow fell back in 1983.❄

Probably end up working inside as it will be too cold to sit outside despite the sun. ☀ I’m looking forward to nicer days and being able to work outside rather than the dungeon windowless office at work. Tomorrow I need to load up my camping gear, go through the checklist ☑ and have everything ready to leave hopefully fairly early on Friday but it depends how busy I’m at work. That said, working from home means I’m parked right outside and it’s not a long jot to head out.

Looking forward to getting away for a few days ⛺ in the wilderness, at least before that is hopefully not banned. 😧 I haven’t done anything shooting in a few weeks with the range closed 🔫 and I haven’t put in much time fishing 🎣 either and the last time I had a fire was New Years Eve. Might get a little snow on Friday night but I expect it will be gone by the time the sun ☀ comes up on Sunday. I’m hoping the federal government will sanction states that get too far out of line. Slowing Coronavirus is important but some things are getting way out of line. I’m going to bring my work laptop up there and briefly boot it to see if I can work from camp at a future week if I decide on a long weekend come May or June and don’t want to charge the time. I wish I could do a bigger trip but it’s kind of hard to ask for time off from work right now and I don’t want to buy gas or shop 🏪 away from home where I lack hot water and soap to carefully wash my hands 👏 as soon as I get home. It was bad enough today when I discovered after pumping gas that my spray bottle with rubbing alcohol was empty. I got to careful how much rubbing alcohol I put on my hands as they’re already getting dried out from the use. Most hand sanitizers also contain glycerin to avoid cracked hands but I haven’t been able to get glycerin at the store.

Taxes are paid. 💵 I guess I could have delayed filling until July 15th but they were done weeks ago and there is another quarterly tax payment due then so why delay paying for a possible few pennies of interest. Got it done for a few months until next year. I was a bit concerned that the tax department had my old format bank account number on file and the website was down last week for fixing it but the transfer cleared without issue. ☺

In four weeks on May 13 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (296°) at 8:09 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 18 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had rain and temperatures between 54 and 42 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 69 and 46 degrees. The record high of 86 degrees was set back in 2004.

Looking ahead, Earth Day 🌎 is in 1 week, Latest Sunset 🌆 is in 10 weeks and Inauguration Day 2021 👴🏻 is in 40 weeks.

🇺🇸🦅Only 37 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸

Good evening! Partly cloudy and 55 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌃 You can see the stars ✨ at times. Breezy, ️24 mph breeze from the west 🌬 with gusts up to 45 mph 💨💨💨. It’s quite mild out for mid April this evening but that wind is relentless, especially the gusts so I decided to head in after listening to the podcast I was listening to. 👂 The dew point is 46 degrees. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Thursday around 4 am. ☃️

For a while I sat out back watching the laser light firefly display I bought a few years back 🐝 much to the dismay of my parents who think it is tacky and causes air planes to crash. ✈ I think it’s fun, especially watching it sparkle in the bushes ✨ on a dark night. Doesn’t work so well in the city with the lights or if I have a lot of lights at camp. 🎧 I listened to two podcasts out back before I got tired 😴 of the cold wind out back.

I got another report to do for work today 📝 so I dived right in. Making good progress, with the limited distraction free mobile broadband internet for work I’m making a lot of progress on the report.

Didn’t go to the laundromat or grocery store today – I ended up taking a picture of the health insurance invoice and doing it online avoiding having to mail ✉ the paper work. Without needing to go to the post office, leaving home 🏡 wasn’t that pressing and I had no reason to leave home on this often rainy day 💦with the constant threat of high winds and downpours which didn’t happen in Delmar. Rain early and wind late here.

Rode the exercise bike 🚲 for an hour and then went for my evening walk 🚶 followed by sitting out back in my comfortable lawn chair watching the sunset and then virtual fireflies first flicker on the ground and then the trees. 🐝 It was nice until the wind really picked up.

Tonight will have a slight chance of showers before 10pm. Mostly cloudy 🌧, with a low of 40 degrees at 6am. Three degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 22nd.

Sunrise is one minute and 39 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 6:55 am with sun in the east (83°). Tonight will have 10 hours and 38 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 46 seconds over last night.

Tomorrow will be partly sunny 🌞, with a high of 51 degrees at 3pm. Seven degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around March 31st. West wind 11 to 14 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph. That wind will make it feel kind of chilly for sure. But it still might be a nice day to soak up the sun, ☀ working out back. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies. The high last year was 59 degrees. The record high of 83 was set in 1968. 1.4 inches of snow fell back in 1950.❄

I might still go to Schodack Island State Park and work down by the river for a couple of hours 🚢 – my work laptop has a very strong battery 🔋 and then go for a walk 🚶 and hit up Aldi’s before coming home. 🍏 At least that’s a plan. I do need to consider when I can get to the laundromat but that’s less pressing as I don’t have as many dirty clothes 👚 as I work from home, rewearing jeans 👖 multiple days with t shirts that don’t take up much space in the wash.

In four weeks on May 11 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (296°) at 8:06 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 27 seconds later then tonight.

With everything at PAUSE 🔜and it being another chilly April, it just kind of seems odd to think 💭 summer is not all that far away. While work has picked up, much of life has kind of stopped 🔴 even as the seasons march on. Six weeks to Memorial Day and seven to June.🍹 But with everything shut down it almost seems not to matter. That said life goes on and I’m finding ways to adapt and make due.

Looking ahead, Arbor Day 🌳 is in 2 weeks, 8 PM Sunset 🌇 is in 3 weeks, Flower Moon 🌕 is in 5 weeks, Memorial Day 🇺🇸 is in 6 weeks, June 🍹 is in 7 weeks and Average High is 80 🏖 is in 10 weeks.

🇺🇸🦅Only 39 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!🦅🇺🇸

Good evening! Cloudy, still somewhat blustery. and 39 degrees in Delmar, NY. ❄ Breezy, ️20 mph breeze from the west-northwest 🌬 with gusts up to 32 mph 💨💨💨. It was a bit cold on the evening walk 🚶 although it seems like the wind is dying down. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 1 am. ☃️

Not a real productive day, 📝fixed some issues on the blog and rode the exercise bike 🚲 for a while. Been having some issues with one of the pedals, I might have to figure a creative way to fix it going forward. While the mercury wasn’t super low – it was in the forties most of the day – that wind was intense. Roared most of the day and it made it raw outside.

Finally made that cherry 🍒 pie I’ve been literally telling myself to make for a decade. Came out fairly good. The main thing parishible was the refrigerated crust I bought a few weeks back so the canned cherries were fine from a decade ago. Had cornbread waffles for breakfast and pasta for a late lunch. Skipped dinner.

While we had some sun ☀ for a while I’m glad I stayed home and in town. It would have been pretty darn cold up north and gear would be flapping around with the trees swaying and branches falling down. 🌲🌲 A big branch came down and hit the window and the apartment with a large crack midday but fortunately the window wasn’t damaged. Probably would be hard to maintain a safe fire 🔥 with the wind. I’m sure there will be better weather to come.

Tonight will have a Waining Gibbous 🌖 Moon with 87% illuminated. The moon will rise at 10:51 pm. The Pink 🌸 Moon is on Sunday, April 26.

Good evening! Partly cloudy and 53 degrees in Delmar, NY. 🌃 There is a west-northwest breeze at 7 mph. 🍃. Enjoy the nice evening, not expected to last. More rain tomorrow. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Saturday around 4 am. ☃️

Today wasn’t a half bad day, 😊busy at work but unfortunately not a real nice day for working outside so I stayed home and worked on my work computer. 💻 As I only do work on that machine I’m much more productive, not checking my personal email 📧 or social media. After work, I walked down to the town park 🚶 and got some podcasts. 🎧 I am watching some videos I downloaded the other day. It did clear out for a while today and I thought about driving out to Five Rivers 🐸 to work on the wifi. But it was probably much more productive working from home. Hot Meatball sandwich for lunch, hot dogs and beans with cheese for dinner. 🍱Not really adventurous cooking today. 🍲 Yesterday’s tuna fish melt was really good though. 🐠

While it was a pretty nice evening I decided after my walk 🚶 to lay in bed and catch up on some of the YouTube videos I downloaded yesterday while I was working at Five Rivers. 🎥 Farmers are busy with prepping fields this time of year, 🚜 they’ve moved beyond counting the hundreds of loads of manure 💩 they’ve hauled over the winter that’s come and gone. 🌾Things are starting to green up in the valley now, the average low is about 35 at this point and nights below freezing are becoming rare. Even in the upland, spring is coming.

Tonight will be mostly cloudy 🌥, with a low of 40 degrees at 4am. Five degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 22nd. Northwest wind 5 to 7 mph becoming south after midnight. 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 41 degrees. The record low of 16 occurred back in 1977.

Been working on growing out my side burns during the quarantine. 🙊 While my hairy face isn’t quite a secret with all the zoom meetings I’ve been participating in 📹, truth be told everybody is getting long and shaggy so I might as well join in the fun and try something different. 💈 I haven’t gotten rid of the goatee I have but I might. Good to try something new and fool all the facial recognition cameras on the street. ☺🎥 It’s creepy enough that the politicians are monitoring people’s cellphone pings and using it to pronounce if people are doing enough social distancing. Honestly if I plan to travel I’ll just pull my cellphone 📱 battery. Stop those creeps in government from judging my pings. 📍

Tonight will have a Waining Gibbous 🌖 Moon with 98% illuminated. The moon is quite bright 🔆 tonight. The Pink 🌸 Moon is on Friday, April 24.

Tomorrow will have showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 3pm, then showers likely. 🌦 High of 52 degrees at 1pm. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 2nd. Maximum dew point of 44 at 11am. 🏖️ Breezy, with a south wind 14 to 21 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 34 mph. Going to be wet and windy but not too cold. But definitely a work from home day I think. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible. I know some other models say it will be colder. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 65 degrees. The record high of 77 was set in 1991. 13.3 inches of snow fell back in 2000.❄

So one model says the upper elevations may get several inches of snow ❄ tomorrow into Good Friday, while others call for cold and cloudy weather for the weekend. Yet others call for all rain ☔ event with more sun ☀ and not as cold this weekend. I don’t know about this weekend. I may or may not have plans, I don’t know. I actually have three different scenarios, maybe four – it depends a lot. ⛺ 🔥 🚶 🎣 🔫 ❓❔❓❔I have to remember that Sunday is Easter 🐰 so I can’t plan on going shopping on Sunday. 🍏 Regardless, I plan on practicing social distancing, 👤although if I stay in town I might join my neighbors six feet away next to their fire pit. 🔥 I’ll have to buy some beer 🍻.

In four weeks on May 6 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (294°) at 8:01 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 42 seconds later then tonight. Seems both oddly close and far away at same time.

Good evening! Cloudy with rain showers and 55 degrees in Delmar, NY. ☔ Calm wind. No full moon visible tonight. 🌕 Except maybe on Facebook. Neighbors had a fire 🔥, I joined them for a while out back. We sat six feet apart. 👪 Nice night. Temperatures will drop below freezing at Sunday around 2 am. ☃️

At 10 PM, the moon was in the southeast (124°) at an altitude of 28° from the horizon, some 226,471 miles away from where you are looking up from the earth. 🚀 But you can’t see it with the clouds. At the state speed limit of 55 mph, you’ll make it there by September 26^th. Buckle up for safety! 💺 The Pink 🌸 Moon is on Thursday, April 23.

The record high of 88 was set in 1929. 4.5 inches of snow fell back in 1907.❄

The latest weekend forecast looks rather stormy and cold 💨so I’m not sure if I’m going to make any plans. I heard they might even get some snow up north. ❄ I was kind of hoping for an early spring. That said I could see hiking down by the Hudson River, maybe doing some fishing 🎣 and getting groceries at Aldi’s. I was realizing how much more you spend for lower quality food at Hannaford compared to Aldi – and heck they don’t even have people that check out your grocery at Hannaford unless you waiting in line for a while. 🍏

In four weeks on May 5 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (293°) at 8:00 pm,🌄 which is 31 minutes and 43 seconds later then tonight.

Thirty weeks until the presidential election.☑ Have you decided who you are going to vote for yet? I haven’t, I can see pros and cons to each candidate. I think certainly Biden would be better from a perspective on climate change, urban policy, criminal justice, and economic issues. 🏫Trump is better on the second amendment and limiting the size and scope of government. Then there are the options with the third parties.💭 Lots of options to consider going forward.

Looking ahead, Cinco de Mayo 🤠 is in 4 weeks, Flower Moon 🌕 is a month away, Strawberry Moon 🌕 is in 2 months, Primary Day 🗳️ is in 11 weeks, and Election Day 2020 🗳️ is in 30 weeks.
