A QUIET CHRISTMAS WEEK: That is, unless something unexpected happens which
is always possible. This should be good for late Christmas shoppers. (Me!)
We are going to have some cold nights and rather chilly days, but milder
daytime temperatures are expected by the end of the week.

Low temperatures tonight will get well down into the 20s and some of the
colder valleys may see upper teens. Same story Tuesday night. There will be
some clouds moving over Central Alabama tonight and Tuesday. However, the
chance of snow flurries should be nil to none because it is so dry. Some
flurries were reaching the ground at nearby as Pine Bluff, Arkansas this
afternoon.

CHRISTMAS WEATHER: For a time it looked like Christmas Day could be wet. All
the latest evidence that we can dig up, analyze and psychoanalyze will bring
some mostly light rain to our area late on Christmas Eve. However it is
going to scoot out right away and now Christmas Day looks dry with clearing
skies and highs in the 50s.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN to Flagstaff, Arizona? It is an interesting weather spot.
It is a true oasis. The first time I was there, there were no interstates
and U.S. 66 was the answer. Going west on I-40 you leave barren desert in
Eastern Arizona, climb up into the high country around Flagstaff and
Williams and back down into desert country in Western Arizona. The highest
mountains in Arizona surround Flagstaff on the north and there is skiing.
Camping above the 10,000-foot level one night we almost got blown away. Our
camper was rocking. At this time in 1967, there was 83 inches of snow on the
ground at Flagstaff. That is an all-time record and caused huge problems.
Many structures collapsed under the weight of the snow and many parts of the
Navajo nation were stranded and isolated. Just another interesting weather
spot in the good old USA...while we are speaking of the USA, some cold spots
this morning included 26 below zero at Potomac, Montana and 24 below at
Bozeman...travel was highly discouraged today across the Texas Panhandle
because of a mix of freezing rain and snow.big storms continue in the
Pacific NW.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Sights, sounds and smells in Mollyland. On our
usual half-mile walk, all the leaves have now fallen from a sassafras tree.
They are big leaves and Molly loves to thrash her way through...just a few
leaves hanging on the two Bradford pear trees in Molly's backyard. Sure glad
I photographed them during the peak of autumn color...the Old Crow Motel is
as barren as can be. It is the tallest tree in the community...neighbors
that live right around it want to take it down before high winds blow it
across their houses. That will be a sad day. It is a landmark. Molly loves
to walk as close to the hedgerow as possible, even if I stay on the walking
track. She became airborne this morning for a distance of about 7 feet and
landed in some thick underbrush with her tail wagging like she had just
landed on the moon. It was some kind of tiny varmint...sure enjoyed a great
Christmas musical at our church last night (Huffman Baptist.) At one point,
everyone was holding a lighted candle high while singing "Silent Night."
Life goes on.
