==================================================================

WARMER, THEN COLDER: I guess we could call it rollercoaster weather
or topsy-turvy weather due to our rapid pace series of weather changes. Look
for almost all sunshine Saturday with temperatures recovering to the mid
50s. Won't last. Much colder air will overspread the region on Sunday with
NW winds of 12-25 mph and highs struggling to reach the upper 30s. The
threat of snow flurries seems to have lessened somewhat on Sunday, but there
is still the possibility of a few. They should cause no problem. Monday will
be mostly sunshine with an early morning low averaging 17 across Central
Alabama. Clouds will increase again on Tuesday with a chance of some rain
later in the day and highs recovering to around 50.

A JITTERY GULF OF MEXICO: The Gulf of Mexico is irritable and
somewhat unsettled. Because of that, a low pressure area is expected to form
and move east across the Southern Gulf and then cross Florida into the
Atlantic. We hope you will check in on our new weather blog frequently
during the next week because the weather could become interesting. If we
were forced to offer an opinion at the moment, we think Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day will be dry and cold. If the Gulf of Mexico low were to take a
more northward track, the weather could be more interesting. We're not
saying it will, but stay tuned.

A TRIVIA QUESTION: You have probably noticed some forecasts in
recent months that go something like this: "Partly cloudy this morning then
partly sunny this afternoon." Question: when would you get more
sunshine-that morning or that afternoon? Hint: I don't know the answer but
there is a difference. What is your opinion?

FRIVOLOUS FRIDAY STUFF: The town of Embarrass in North Minnesota
was not named that because they are embarrassed over their bitter cold
winter temperatures. It was 22 below there this morning-the coldest in the
USA including Alaska...it was 18 below at Anaktuvuk, Alaska...at Barter
Island it was 9 below with east wind at 50 and a wind chill of minus
42...way far away on the other side of the North Pole, it was 58 below in
Ojmjakon and they are expecting 67 below Saturday night. That town in
Eastern Siberia has the reputation of being the world's coldest continually
inhabited location. I would be trying to hook a ride out of town.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: During an early morning walk, little
Miss Molly had her "city inspector's" hat on. That nosy little rascal had to
check out everything, including every leaf lying on the walk, every tree.
She reversed directions at least 50 times, went in circles, and I thought
she was determined to give me whiplash...sure would be interesting to see
Molly's reaction to snow. Even though she was born in Layton, Utah, the only
snow she has seen was a few flurries here last winter. She tried to chase
every flake. Dumb dog...Miss Molly still does not like loud noises. She now
has a retreat to get away at times like that. It is a soft chair in the
corner of the back bedroom. You can find her there nestled in the corner of
the chair with only her little head resting on the arm looking out the door
into the living area watching everything. Last night, I tried to find her
and I could see those two little eyes glimmering in the darkness like a deer
in the headlights. Life goes on, snow flurries or no snow flurries.
