I think I’ve fixed the internet on my laptop. Tried an alternative kernel, with a different driver. Now it works once again. Frustrating that the automatic kernel upgrade broke, but fixed, I think. I will see what happens the next time I go to the library or somewhere with more traffic and a weaker signal.

Good morning! Happy Thanksgiving 🦃. Mostly cloudy and 11 degrees in Delmar. There is a northwest breeze at 13 mph. 🍃. The current wind chill is -4. There about an inch of snow on the ground with a lot of bare spots around. β˜ƒ ️Things will start to thaw out at Saturday around 10 am. 🌡️ But for now it’s very cold outside.

Thanksgiving Day will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 19 degrees at 1pm. 26 degrees below normal. Probably the coldest Thanksgiving on record, feels more like a cold January day then late November. Maximum wind chill around -4 at 8am; Northwest wind 13 to 16 mph. A year ago, we had light rain in the morning, remaining cloudy in the afternoon. The high last year was 46 degrees. The record high of 70 was set in 1931. 9.1 inches of snow fell back in 1943.❄

The sun will set at 4:27 pm with dusk around 4:57 pm, which is 39 seconds earlier than yesterday. 🌇 At sunset, look for clear skies 🌄 and temperatures around 17 degrees. The wind chill around sunset will be 3. β˜ƒοΈ Snow man approves. There will be a northwest breeze at 14 mph. Today will have 9 hours and 30 minutes of daytime, a decrease of one minute and 51 seconds over yesterday.

Tonight will be clear 🌃, with a low of 4 degrees at 6am. 26 degrees below normal. Maximum wind chill around -2 at 5am; Northwest wind 5 to 10 mph becoming light west after midnight. In 2017, we had cloudy skies. It got down to 27 degrees. The record low of 5 occurred back in 1972.

Heading out to my parents house later on today for Thanksgiving dinner. 🦃 After so many years I’m not as big of a fan of it as in years past but it’s still a good meal. Might go for a walk this afternoon but I’ll want to bundle up with it being so cold. Solar panel is doing a great job keeping the battery voltage up despite their being a lot of clouds in Delmar. It just seems like lately how we’ve been getting the worst weather in the state.

Looking ahead, there are 12 weeks until Valentines Day ❀️ when the sun will be setting at 5:26 pm with dusk at 5:55 pm. On that day in 2018, we had snow, mostly cloudy skies and temperatures between 36 and 15 degrees. Typically, the high temperature is 34 degrees. We hit a record high of 63 back in 1946.
