THE ALABAMA STORY: At midday, the dew point stood at an even zero
at Birmingham. That is unusual for our area. It, of course, meant that the
air was extremely dry, so if you have a raspy throat today, blame it on
that.

The dew point and temperature will be rising, but not after another
cold night. Again tonight, low temperatures will be extremely variable
ranging from the low 20s in many areas but the upper 20s on some of the
ridges. Starting tomorrow and all the way into the weekend, we expect high
temperatures between 50 and 55 with lows at night in the 30s, but above
freezing. There will be a series of disturbances coming down in the NW flow,
so we will have clouds in and out at times. Our next change of rain should
hold off until Saturday. It doesn't look like a big rain event. Let's look
at a selection of the very cold low temperatures this morning:

13 in Valley Head
14 in Mentone and Montesano Mountain (Huntsville)
15 at Mt. Cheaha, Black Creek, Russell Cave
16 in DeSoto State Park, Madison, Collinsville
17 at Pinson, Hamilton, Decatur, Huntsville Airport
18 in Ft. Payne, Moulton, Trussville
19 in Cullman, Muscle Shoals, Birmingham Airport
21 in Jasper and Anniston
22 in Tuscaloosa, Highland Home, Thomasville
23 in Selma and at Shelby County Airport
24 in Montgomery
27 in Mobile and Grand Bay

One of the most uncomfortable spots in the state this morning was on
Huntsville's Monte Sano Mountain when the temperature dropped to 14 with a
14 mph wind. This created a wind chill of 11 below zero!

SWINGING IN SARANAC LAKE: A big swing in temperature in Upstate New
York. It was 62 in Saranac Lake less than a week ago. This morning it was 18
below zero with a wind chill of 32 below. That's a swing of 80 degrees in
less than a week...if you want to really be uncomfortable, you should be in
Northern Minnesota today. There is a warming trend, but temperatures are
still well below zero with south winds gusting over 40 mph at times...in
Alaska, the coldest temperatures this morning were mostly 50 to 55 below.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sure woke up in a hurry on my morning
walk with little Miss Molly. Quite a bite in the air and Miss Molly went
along at a fast pace. There is a big dog that barks loudly each time we go
up the track. Miss Molly ignores him, but the big dog got Jo-Jo barking on
the other side of the hedgerow. Since Molly is deeply in love with Jo-Jo,
she started whining like mad wanting to see him. With all the barking, some
crows started cawing louder. All of this mind you just as Molly had squatted
to do her business...we came back down our street and a new CC (Community
Cat) was sitting in a driveway sunning. Molly slowly walked up the driveway
with her tail wagging like a rotor blade wanting to make friends. No
response from the cat. So, Molly let out one window-rattling bark. Cat still
didn't move. Molly shifted gears and slowly backed down the driveway and
headed home ready for a treat. Just another little tiny drama in our Tiny
Corner of the World.not major by world standards but big for us. Life goes
bumping along.
