Good evening! Cloudy, still somewhat blustery. and 39 degrees in Delmar, NY. β Breezy, οΈ20 mph breeze from the west-northwest π¬ with gusts up to 32 mph π¨π¨π¨. It was a bit cold on the evening walk πΆ although it seems like the wind is dying down. Temperatures will drop below freezing at around 1 am. βοΈ
Tonight will have a slight chance of rain and snow showers before 1am. Mostly cloudy π§, with a low of 34 degrees at 3am. Two degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 7th. Breezy, with a west wind 11 to 20 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%.

Not a real productive day, πfixed some issues on the blog and rode the exercise bike π² 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 π 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 β 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. π²π² 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 π₯ with the wind. I’m sure there will be better weather to come.

I was planning on going down to Schodack Island tomorrow πΆ π¦ but something came up and plans changed. I might instead stop by the library in the morning and get the blog update uploaded.
