ANOTHER COLD NIGHT: Last night was among the coldest nights we have had so
far this season. Let's look at some of the lows:.

17 in Florence
18 atop Monte Sano, Huntsville and at Harvest
19 in Ft. Payne, Mentone, Black Creek, Hamilton
20 in Athens, Hartselle and atop Mt. Cheaha
21 in Huntsville, Pinson, Moulton
22 in Cullman, Hayden, Leeds, Guntersville
23 in Birmingham, Gadsden, Alabaster, Jasper
25 in Talladega, Wedowee, Reform
26 in Anniston, Tuscaloosa, Helena, Northport

Tonight's low temperatures will be similar, although we do have a little
intruder. Some clouds may move across the area during the night and hold up
temperatures a bit. But we think enough of the night will be clear for lows
across Central Alabama to fall to about 23. Mostly sunshine returns
Wednesday, Thursday and most of Friday. Some rain may arrive by Saturday
afternoon and continue overnight and linger into part of Christmas Day and
it could be moderate.

ROAMING: Great big storms on the Pacific NW Coast with high winds and
buckets of rain. Coos Bay, Oregon received 1.56 inches of rain this
morning...not as bitter cold as on recent days. The low for the lower 48
this morning was 9 below at Williston, North Dakota...warmest yesterday 85
at LaMesa, California...across North Alabama this afternoon, despite the
sunshine, temperatures were only in the upper 30s and 40s.

INTERESTING WEATHER SPOT: Today let's visit Churchill, Manitoba on the SW
shore of giant Hudson Bay in Canada-only reachable by air. It is known as
the Polar Bear Capitol of the world. It can get bitter cold and very windy
in wintertime with the wind blowing so hard it would blow your hat off even
if anchored even by velcro. I sure would like to visit there, but less than
a 5% chance. A very interesting fact about that location-the aurora borealis
(also known as the "northern lights") is visible an average of 300 nights
per year! Down here in Alabama, we may not see one of those for 5 years.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I have no idea why Little Miss Molly slept
until after 10 this morning. That is a record for December 20. I started to
go into the bedroom where she was sleeping barking at the top of my voice
just to see how she would react. I did keep her awake until late last night,
however, playing ball, pull rope and giving her tummy rubs and wrestling on
the couch. It has been almost three years since that little lady walked into
our house and won me over in a St. Louis second. She suckered me in like a
vacuum cleaner. My life hasn't been the same since but I am healthier since
I have walked hundreds of miles with her. I have never seen a little animal
as happy as she is during her daily walks...I know this is a nation of buzz
words but I heard "at this point in time" in a TV interview for the
866,443,786th time. What in the world is wrong with the word, "now?" Means
exactly the same thing. Excuse my little pet peeve. Life goes on.
