BACK TO REALITY: After a long stretch of unseasonably warm weather, we now
return to more normal January conditions. This means lows for the next
several mornings in the upper 20s and afternoon highs in the upper 40s or
lower 50s. We see no chance of rain, at least into the middle of next week.
Most days will have mostly sunshine. That is a relief after yesterday's
storminess. Some of the heavier rain from the storms included: 2.37 in
Dothan, 4.43 in Highland Home and down in NW Florida, Panama City got 3.22
inches. The temperature reached a very warm 79 in Robertsdale Thursday.

FOCUS ON TUSCALOOSA: We chose Tuscaloosa's Airport as an example of how
exceedingly warm it has been lately. The average high for the first 13 days
of January has been more than 14 degrees warmer than normal. Yesterday was
the 15th day in a row that Tuscaloosa had highs in the 60s or 70s. The
thermometer has not been down to freezing a single time this January.
Tonight will probably be the first night.

DAYS ARE GETTING LONGER: Have you noticed that the sun is setting later and
later each day? When the big sun ball goes down below the horizon this
evening, it will be doing so 22 minutes later than on December 12 when it
started a later trend.

PROWLING ALL OVER THE MAP: Much, much interesting stuff happening on the
North American continent. Let's cover it in incomplete sentences to save
space. It was 70 in Baltimore yesterday and 62 in the far north at Saranac
Lake, New York...they will drop to 4 tonight...86 in Ft. Myers was
Thursday's warmest...coldest this morning in the lower 48 states 43 below in
Sims, Montana...the wind chill 55 below in Bredette, Montana...coldest in
Alaska 60 below at Chandalar Lake where the wind chill was 90 below...no
place to hang out the wash today...it is 60 below today in Mayo, Yukon with
a very high pressure of 31.04 inches...even up on Mt. Washington, New
Hampshire, known for the world's worst weather, it was in the 40s late last
night...this afternoon it was 15 with winds gusting to 75 mph and an
unbelievable wind chill...51 inches of snow on the ground at Grant Village
in Yellowstone Park. The east entrance to the park is closed until further
notice due to an avalanche.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Back to SOP (Standard Operating Procedures)
Ah, yes, that meant I was out with little Miss Molly on her first morning
walk. A nice, cold north wind (we love that). Molly had to stop by the
doggie bulletin board and sniff all around that certain tree. I believe the
community dogs leave e-mail messages posted there...a number of old crows
were cawing in the distance making great background music (or should we say
elevator music) I know I say this ad nauseam, but I can't say how much I
love Miss Molly. But I am saddened occasionally to get an e-mail from
someone who has lost their precious pet. Today I heard about a little dog,
Trixie, that a couple in Jasper lost last year due to multiple strokes. They
got a new little Yorkie named Gracie. She became a close companion and rode
with them on the golf cart and 4-wheeler in their yard and woods. A couple
weeks ago, on New Year's Eve, a neighbor's Rottweiler attacked Gracie. The
6-pound Yorkie had no chance against the big 8-0-pound dog. Our sincere
condolences. I don't know how I could stand that happening to Molly.
