THE ALABAMA STORY: And its a story of moderating temperatures only to be jerked back to reality later Saturday and into early next week. We will have some rather rapidly changing weather conditions. It wont be as cold tonight and we will have some mild temperatures Friday and the first half of Saturday. A cold front will reach the area Saturday afternoon.
Showers will arrive ahead of the cold front on Saturday. Most of them will occur toward midday and through the afternoon. There is an outside chance of a thunderstorm, but we think most of those will be south of Birmingham. There is even a chance for some strong storms over extreme South Alabama with this system.
As the cold air starts pouring in late Saturday and Saturday night, there could be some snow flurries over the northern counties Saturday night and very early Sunday morning. They should cause no problem. Sunday is going to feel very cold with highs only in the upper 30s and north winds of 12-25 mph giving a wind chill in the teens. Our coldest temperature will come early Mondayabout 19.
OLD MEMORIES: On this date in 1954, the lowest temperature ever recorded in the lower 48 was observed at Rogers Pass, Montana. It was 70 below! This is in a mountainous area west of Helena and near the summit of the Continental Divide. A friend of mine and I visited that location about three months later. We had to hike through waist-deep snow to reach an old mining cabin where two elderly miners lived and kept the official instruments. I will write a story about that one day. Quite a trip.
THURSDAY THOUGHTS: An almost summer-like 91 at Santa Ana and Los Alamitos,
California yesterday...down here where 48 of our states bump into each other, the coldest was minus 7 at Fryeburg, Maine...in Alaska, the coldest was 52 below in Northway...in McGrath, it was 44 below with a high of 40 below and 38 inches of snow on the ground...quite a story out of Raleigh yesterday when a surprise one-inch snowstorm caused all kinds of problems and a lot of people were stranded. Snow is difficult to drive on wherever you are.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: A little over two years ago when I took my very first early morning walk with little Miss Molly, two old crows were perched high in a tall discombobulated tree along our walking track. They were really quarrelling. I assume they were husband and wife having a big family fight. Molly and I paused to watch it and we immediately named the old tree the Old Crow Motel. Lately birds have seemed to avoid it, but what a surprise on our morning walk today to count 42 small birds resting in the rooms (limbs). They were chirping. It sounded like a youth choir. We paused in the frost-covered grass to listen to the concert. Lo and behold, here came a flock of about 50 more small birds passing just over our heads and swirling up into the Old Crow Motel. Would have made a great photo op silhouetted in the rising sun. a distant crow was singing bass. Surely must have been a bird convention going on, but Molly was ready to move on. She had to plop down overlooking a home where her friend Mattie visits some weekends. She has been on a scrounging mood lately, plunging her nose in the frost-covered grass to see what she can find. Life goes on.
