Good evening! Clear and 46 degrees in Delmar, NY. There is a west-northwest breeze at 7 mph. . Temperatures will drop below freezing at tomorrow around 3 am. Not a half bad night.
Today was busier than I expected. Beautiful day only a little bit cool. Hiked Bennett Hill this evening, mom brought over pulled pork which was nice plus a pair of binoculars that they weren’t using. Uploaded some new content for the blog which I’ll be featuring in the coming weeks. I wanted to get to the store today particularly for the spray bottle for spraying my clothes for ticks but that didn’t happen. I really need to get a list together and run to Walmart midday when there ain’t the crowds. I hate how the banada limits my vision. Went for my evening walk and made my spoken public comment to the Guilderland Planning Board on the Pine Bush development.
Tonight will be widespread frost, mainly after 4am. I probablyshould close the window of the I have open but I like fresh air. Otherwise, clear , with a low of 31 degrees at 5am. 15 degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical night around March 31st. West wind 5 to 7 mph becoming calm after midnight. In 2019, we had light rain in the evening, which became light drizzle by the early hours of the morning. It got down to 40 degrees. The record low of 30 occurred back in 1996.
Tonight will have a Last Quarter Moon with 54% illuminated. The darkest hour is at 12:53 am, followed by dawn at 5:04 am, and sun starting to rise at 5:36 am in the east-northeast (64°) and last for 3 minutes and 14 seconds. Sunrise is one minute and 4 seconds earlier than yesterday. The golden hour ends at 6:16 am with sun in the east-northeast (70°).Tonight will have 9 hours and 24 minutes of darkness, a decrease of 2 minutes and 7 seconds over last night.
Tomorrow will have areas of frost before 7am. Otherwise, mostly sunny , with a high of 66 degrees at 4pm. Three degrees below normal, which is similar to a typical day around May 5th. South wind 3 to 8 mph. Should be another nice day until the clouds push in. A year ago, we had mostly sunny skies in the morning, which became light rain by afternoon. The high last year was 48 degrees. The record high of 93 was set in 1900.
I think it wasn’t a bad decision to start adding a little bit more money biweekly into the market based on the fed chairs remarks and the thing that I think stocks will be relatively cheap for the foreseeable future. There is just so little interest these days in certificate of deposits.
I’m starting to think we will be this in the long haul, but maybe Upstate a few more things will resume come June. It’s risky to be to optimistic and thinking a vaccine is just around the corner is fool hardy. The idea of people packing into a Costco or luxury apartments anytime soon seems fool hardy. But you make due with the best you can quite honestly. There are always swimming holes to explore come summer. I’m a lot better off than many but I do miss my office, my colleagues and even the commutes. So much of the ordinary life is gone so quickly.
In four weeks on June 10 the sun will be setting in the west-northwest (303°) at 8:32 pm, which is 23 minutes and 41 seconds later then tonight. In 2019 on that day, we had rain and temperatures between 81 and 53 degrees. Typically, you have temperatures between 77 and 55 degrees. The record high of 96 degrees was set back in 2008.
I am pretty sure this will be a stay in town weekend. Memorial Day Weekend is a wait and see approach but if it looks outstanding I might take off the Friday before and make it a four day weekend. We’ll see.
Looking ahead, Latest Sunset is in 6 weeks and Inauguration Day 2021 is in 36 weeks.
Only 9 days remain until the start of Memorial Day Weekend!
There is a common phrase for happiness – seek out experiences not stuff.
The idea is that material things often break down, don’t create much happiness while memories last a lifetime. But it’s hardly that simple as many memories require things material to make them a reality, such as an automobile to get to the wilderness or a gun to hunt. I guess the moral of the story is to live and do as much as possible with as little as possible as fancy things aren’t required for a good life.
Nice afternoon not too cold or muddy. It’s actually super dry on the hill. I’m surprised how gray the surrounding hills are, spring is really quite late.
This is the tent I ultimately ended up deciding to buy for camping. This way I can have a sheltered place to cook and prepare meals and read a book on buggy or drizzly days. I also got a lantern post that I can put my propane lantern on and use in the tent as an alternative to hanging it on a cable at camp.
