October 15, 2019 Night
Good evening! Clear and 43 degrees in Delmar, NY. Calm wind.
Tonight seems a lot warmer than last night 🌃 without the wind but the mercury is dropping fast. I listened to the radio 📻 for the Democratic Presidential Debate but quickly lost interest. Lots of moonlight this evening for sure. Sat out back for a while next to the heater and it was quite nice but I wish I was in the woods where I could have a fire. Maybe in two weeks if the weather is nice.
Not a bad day but a busy one at work. 💼 Getting caught up after vacation. I do like the regular nature of work, the schedule and taking the bus downtown. 🚍 It just gives me a set chance to sit, listen to music 🎶 and blog. 📄
Tonight will be mostly clear 🌃, with a low of 39 degrees at 5am. Typical for tonight. Light southeast wind. In 2018, we had light rain in the evening, which became cloudy by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 36 degrees. The record low of 25 occurred back in 1978.
Tonight will have a Waning Gibbous Moon 🌖 with 90% illuminated. The moon will set at 9:40 am. The Last Quarter Moon is on Sunday night with heavy rain. The Beaver Moon 🌝 is on Monday, November 11th. The sun will rise at 7:08 am with the first light at 6:40 am, which is one minute and 11 seconds later than yesterday. 🌄 Tonight will have 12 hours and 55 minutes of darkness, an increase of 2 minutes and 48 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will rain, mainly after 4pm. 🌞 High of 64 degrees at 2pm. Four degrees above normal, which is similar to a typical day around October 6th. Maximum dew point of 52 at 6pm. 🏖️ Southeast wind 6 to 16 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible. Later in the evening there could be more severe weather. ☔ A year ago, we had cloudy skies. The high last year was 56 degrees. The record high of 88 was set in 1947. There was a dusting of snow in 2009.❄
I think tomorrow night will be a wet and wild evening.💦 Might be bad driving conditions tomorrow after dark. I’m not sure if I’m going to the Pine Bush Dinner 🍲 even after I said I was. I have to drive out to my parents house after work and don’t want to be driving in really bad weather. 🚙
In four weeks on November 12 the sun will be setting at 4:36 pm (Standard Time),🌄 which is one hour, 37 minutes and 50 seconds earlier then tonight. In 2018 on that day, we had mostly cloudy and temperatures between 47 and 29 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 49 and 33 degrees. The record high of 68 degrees was set back in 1909.
Looking ahead, Election Day 2019 🗳️ is in 3 weeks, 7:15 AM Sunrise ⌛️ is in 8 weeks, Bill of Rights Day 📜 is in 2 months, Christmas Eve 🎅 is in 10 weeks, New Years Eve 🎆 is in 11 weeks, Coldest Week of the Year 🌬 is in 13 weeks, National Bird Day 🐦 is in 3 months and Martin Luther King Day 🖤 is in 14 weeks.

Pennsylvania trapping trends positive despite poor fur prices, stigma | Don’t Miss This | dailyiowegian.com
Some of Jolene Connelly’s best childhood memories involved time spent with her grandmother, who worked at a garment factory that dealt with furs.
“I would sit on the steps in her attic and pore through boxes of fur swatches trying to identify the animals they came from,” said the Selinsgrove (Snyder County) native.
Those moments helped spark her interest in trapping, becoming one of a growing trend of women participating in an activity that is shrouded in negative stigma involving animal welfare.
“I am an animal lover, and I assure you that if I thought that trapping would put any animal under a large amount of stress, I would find it hard to participate,” she said. “Any time you see the number of trappers dwindle, you see more diseased animals with mange, distemper and other issues, along with more human-animal conflict. Trapping is a vital part of our conservation that helps animal populations stay healthy and happy.”

Nor’Easter Tomorrow
The season's first Nor'easter will bring a widespread soaking rainfall to the entire region Wednesday through Thursday….
Posted by US National Weather Service Albany NY on Tuesday, October 15, 2019
Nor’Easter tomorrow. But it will be rain, not snow. Sorry folks!
Still enough rain that driving your car with manifold vacuum-driven windshield wipers is not recommended, especially going up steep hills. That those 6-volt headlights and tail-lights, as will bias-ply tires will be dangerous on the roads tomorrow evening.
