ACCEPTABLE TEMPERATURES: Not real warm, not real coldthats the way to go.
That should be the story of Alabama weather all the way through the weekend.
There will be some relatively minor changes, including a few sprinkles
tomorrow morning. Cooler, dry weather on Thursday. Some more rain by Friday
night and with a chance of rain also on Saturday and into Sunday. Our
warmest day will be tomorrow with low and mid 60s, then its back to the 50s
and upper 40s for highs after that. Our best chance of more widespread rain
should be Monday. See our day-by-day forecast for all of the details.
BLIZZARD AFTER EFFECTS: That New England blizzard over the weekend rated in
the top five and it was the first blizzard in Massachusetts since the April
Fool storm in 1997. Lots of schools and businesses still closed down today
as snow removal continues. It looks like final figures will show 7-foot
drifts and average snow depth of 38 inches at Salem and Plymouth,
Massachusetts. An interesting thing happened along the Massachusetts coast.
On Nantucket, 84 mph wind gusts occurred with blinding snow and temperatures
well below freezing. There was so much ocean spray flying through the air
that it completely glazed buildings with a sheet of ice, giving an eerie
glassy look.
STRIKING OUT IN ALL DIRECTIONS: Still no bitter cold weather in Alaska. The
lowest this morning was minus 24 at Nuiqsut...here in the lower 48, the cold
spot shifted to the west where it was minus 9 at Snake River in Yellowstone
National Park...at this time in 1965, a huge snowstorm dumped 105 inches at
Alta, Utahan all-time record for the state. They have 95 inches on the
ground today, but it did not all fall at the same time...although Im not
traveling today, my mind often roams the back roads. I sure would like to be
on one of the hiking trails up at either Cheaha or DeSoto State Parks today
or sitting in that tiny, tiny café where we had lunch one day at Pine Knot
in the hills of Eastern Kentucky...in 1978, Bert Reeves, on duty in the
National Weather Service, Indianapolis, got so worried that he issued a
blizzard warning for the entire State of Indiana. It was a good forecast.
South Bend was buried under 4 feet of snow...later Bert joined the NWS staff
at Birmingham to become the river forecaster. I enjoyed working with him for
a number of years...a couple of interesting temperatures...it has been as
low as 70 below in Ojmjakon, Russia in the last 24 hours and its 111 above
zero at Gascoyne Junction, Australia this afternoon.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Lots of Molly-free time today. I guess thats
good occasionally, but I dont like it. The little girl awoke this morning
just as happy as a lark and ready to start playing instantly. She was
running from room to room grabbing her toys and wagging her tail, but it was
time to leave for the PBS (Puppy Beauty Shop). She is getting a trim today
and it seems so strange to not have that little squirt running all through
the house. Even when she is not playing, she slowly walks through every room
in the house several times a day like she is a night watchman making the
rounds...studies have shown that owning a dog or cat will help lower your
blood pressure. My blood pressure has been completely normal all my life,
but its nice to know that little Miss Molly will be standing by to help me
keep it down to normal levels if I ever develop BP problems. Life goes on
even with Molly away.
