Good evening! Cloudy and 49 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a northwest breeze at 5 mph. . The skies will clear tomorrow around 5 am. Not a half bad night, I went out for my evening walk. Honestly, though I do wish I had done more walking but it was kind of a cloudy and gray day. Plus I had some work come in at the end of the day, so I never made it out to Five Rivers like I thought about going out earlier in the day.
Kind of a rather quiet day although work was modestly busy. I ended up spending quite a bit of the morning at the library parking lot, doing work and then working on several blog posts. Then I came home and worked on a few other little projects, going through a lot of old digital elevation model data I downloaded some time ago. Honestly I am feeling a lot better on the doxycycline but still awful tired. I’m hoping by tomorrow things really start to kick in. Already I’m not so sore. I do hate ticks.
Tonight will have isolated showers before midnight. Mostly cloudy , with a low of 39 degrees at 5am. Five degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around April 21st. Northwest wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. In 2019, we had cloudy skies. It got down to 49 degrees. The record low of 29 occurred back in 1874.
Tonight will have a Full Moon with 99% illuminated. At 10 PM, the moon was in the southeast (136°) at an altitude of 24° from the horizon, some 227,867 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 October 26th. Buckle up for safety! The Flower Moon is on Thursday, May 7. The darkest hour is at 12:53 am, followed by dawn at 5:12 am, and sun starting to rise at 5:44 am in the east-northeast (66°) and last for 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 14 seconds earlier than yesterday. The golden hour ends at 6:23 am with sun in the east-northeast (73°).Tonight will have 9 hours and 39 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 21 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will have isolated showers after 2pm. Mostly sunny , with a high of 62 degrees at 4pm. Five degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around April 24th. Light northwest wind becoming west 6 to 11 mph in the morning. Winds could gust as high as 21 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. A year ago, we had cloudy skies in the morning with more sun in the afternoon. The high last year was 66 degrees. The record high of 92 was set in 1930. 0.2 inches of snow fell back in 1967.
In four weeks on June 3 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (302°) at 8:28 pm, which is 26 minutes and 49 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had mostly sunny and temperatures between 65 and 44 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 75 and 53 degrees. The record high of 97 degrees was set back in 1925.
So yes, June is just around the corner.It is coming so quickly with everything is PAUSE. I am not expecting the swimming pools to be open this summer, although I expect the potholers to be cool and water in the various swimming holes to be quite refreshing. I do worry that it might be a bit hot working this summer from home, so I’m hoping at least my air conditioned office downtown will be open. I’m not interested in getting air conditioning at home, just like I refuse to have Internet at home.
Looking ahead, Latest Sunset is in 7 weeks and Inauguration Day 2021 is in 37 weeks.
Only 16 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!
This week we discuss why the idea of wild game leaves a literal bad taste in the mouths of non-hunters. We cover our theories on why many people feel that wild game often tastes “Gamey”. We discuss things like the importance of cooking it properly due to the decreased fat content and also not comparing it to farm-raised meats. We also share a few of our favorite wild game dishes that we have enjoyed recently! Ohio Huntsman is Powered by Simplecast
One of my hopes with Coronavirus financial woes is it will encourage local government to take a hard look at their operations.
For too long local governments have gotten along with tax hikes and expanding their revenue base by new development rather than taking a hard look at their finances and a radical rethinking of the role of local government.
Renewables have generated more electricity than coal for the last 40 days, surpassing previous records.
Wind, solar and hydroelectricity have produced more electricity than coal since March 25, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration analyzed by the Institute for Energy Economics & Financial Analysis (IEEFA).
That tops the previous record of just nine consecutive days of renewables beating out coal in power generation.
