Good evening! Partly clear and 30 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind. There is a dusting of snow on the ground. ☃ ️Things will start to thaw out at tomorrow around 10 am. 🌡️
Busy day 💻and while I worked from home it still seemed like the time past quickly. 🕒 I thought I’d be very cranky with the lack of sleep I got last night 😵 but things turned out fine. I was glad to at least get outside for my evening walk. 🚶🏻 I sure hope midwinter I won’t be penned up for remote work – I like working downtown where I can go for a walk during lunch time.
Cold night tonight, going to feel more like Christmas Time 🎅🏿🎄 then late October. Than again, tomorrow is Halloween 🎃 and November the next day. Colder weather ain’t uncommon today.
Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 20 degrees at 5am. 15 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around December 18th. Calm wind. In 2019, we had mostly clear skies in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 60 degrees. The record low of 18 occurred back in 1988.
I decided it’s cold enough tonight ❄ to warrant turning on the heat ♨ a bit before bed. Very damp outside, it would have been very cold in Brookfield and probably a lot of snow. 😨 I’m sure after walking 🚶🏻 tonight I made the right decision to stay home. 🎃 That said halloween camping under the full moon would have been fun. 👻
Tonight will have a Full 🌝 Moon with 99% illuminated. At 9 PM, the moon was in the east-southeast (113°) at an altitude of 34° from the horizon, some 252,272 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 May 10th. Buckle up for safety! 💺 The Blue 🌝 Moon is on Saturday, October 31. The darkest hour is at 12:40 am, followed by dawn at 6:59 am, and sun starting to rise at 7:28 am in the east-southeast (108°) and last for 3 minutes and 3 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 15 seconds later than yesterday. 🌄 The golden hour ends at 8:08 am with sun in the east-southeast (115°). Tonight will have 13 hours and 38 minutes of darkness, an increase of 2 minutes and 36 seconds over last night.
The moonlight is nice tonight 🌕 now that the clouds are parting with Halloween 🦇 Blue Moon. Anytime Halloween has a full moon by definition it’s a blue moon. But it was kind of damp while I was out my evening walk. 🚶🏻 I guess next to a fire 🔥 it wouldn’t be that bad but next weekend looks sunnier ☀ and warmer even if with the time change 🕒 the sun sets early. More time for cooking and hanging out by the fire. With the music 🎶 and lights I’ve never had an issue with a bear 🐻 at camp.
Tomorrow will be sunny 🌞, with a high of 42 degrees at 3pm. 12 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around November 29th. Light and variable wind.
