DECEMBER ALWAYS INTERESTING: In fact, the whole winter season becomes a
challenge to forecast weather. I guess that is what makes it so interesting
because it does not stay the same very long.

We have some more changes coming up, mainly at midweek. Everything is
pointing to a good rain event Wednesday into early Thursday with some colder
air trying to run the stop sign and come in from Georgia. There could be a
slight risk of some frozen precipitation over extreme East Alabama. We
think, however, it will be mostly rain. We will have to keep one of our eyes
pointed east.

Looks like much of Central Alabama will easily get an inch of rain out of
this event. Since our deficiency for the year is over 4 inches, we cannot
complain about that. After the rain gets out of the way later Thursday, it
looks like more dry weather for Friday. We do not see any extremely cold
temperatures this week as you can tell by our day-by-day forecast.

ICE SITUATION FOR NORTH GEORGIA? The NWS, Atlanta issued a statement to
that effect due to the pesky old wedge. As a low pressure area moves across
the Northern Gulf of Mexico by midweek rain will start in Georgia Wednesday
morning and continue Wednesday night. It may be near or just below freezing
in North Georgia when the rain starts. So, there could be some freezing rain
or sleet mixed in north of the Carrollton-Atlanta-Warrenton line.
Significant amounts of sleet and freezing rain could accumulate in the
mountains of NE Georgia.

ROAMING: Snow showers over NE Tennessee this afternoon could put down a 1
to 2-inch blanket of snow in places like Mountain City and Roan Mountain.
Places like Western North Carolina may be in for a wintry threat at midweek
also...coldest in Alaska this morning was 25 below at Deadhorse. Did you
know that they once had to shoot a bear roaming around the hallways on the
second floor of the only hotel in Deadhorse?...down here where the 48 states
touch each other, the low this morning was 22 below in Doyelsville,
Colorado...on this date in 1988, record cold for so early in Upstate New
York with 12 below zero at Albany and 28 below at Saranac Lake.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Little Miss Molly is a creature of habit and
she does not like her routine interrupted too much. Every morning when we
get
back from our first half-mile walk, she hops on the back of the couch with
every single inch of her body wiggling in excitement awaiting her treat. She
will not eat the treat on the kitchen tile floor. She takes it to a certain
spot on the carpeted living area, curls up and enjoys it to the fullest.
After that, it is one of two things: she either demands a ballgame with me
or she goes to a spot near the front door where the sun is beaming in and
curls up for a long nap in the sunlight. Her routine was really messed up
last night when we put up the Christmas tree. She headed for one of her
three storm-safe spots till we finished! Life goes on.
