UP AND DOWN UP AND DOWN: The old thermometer continues to act like it is
attached to a bungee cord. It cannot make up it's mind. Quite a change
overnight, as you well know when you stepped out to grab the paper or walk
the dog this morning. Many places had 30 to 35-degree drops in temperature
overnight.

This afternoon much of the state was getting sunshine, but a deck of clouds
was poised to our north, especially from the Tennessee River northward. With
low level winds out of the NW, some of that cloudiness may spread down into
Central Alabama during the night.

Tomorrow is going to be rather uncomfortable with clouds persisting in the
morning, but breaking up during the afternoon. High temperatures will only
reach the low 40s in Central Alabama. Some places up in NE Alabama may not
get out of the mid 30s along the ridges. There could even be a few
snowflakes Friday morning, mainly over NE Alabama. Certainly nothing to get
alarmed about.

In keeping with its recent trend, the old thermometer will bounce back
starting Saturday and we will be back in the mild mid 60s Sunday and Monday.
Our coldest temperature will come early Saturday morning with mid 20s.

FOCUS ON ANNISTON: That East Alabama city was basking in 70-degree warmth
yesterday, but it was 36 early this morning. Not counting today, the average
high in Anniston for the first four days of January has been 68-about 16
degrees warmer than normal. Six out of the last 10 days featured highs in
the 60s.

ELSEWHERE: 85 in McAllen, Texas was the USA warm spot yesterday...coldest
this morning was 6 below zero at Big Piney, Wyo., and 32 below at Northway,
Alaska...it was only 41 at Little River Canyon in NE Alabama at 1 pm...some
of the colder temperatures in Northern Canada were around 32 below...that
was a terrible ice storm at this time in 1998 in the NE U.S. from New
England into Canada. Normally this time of year they would get almost all
snow. Up to 3 inches of ice coated the area knocking power out for 4 million
people. 56 people died and there was $1 billion in damage.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Cheers!Getting a nice Molly break today. She
is at the PBS (Puppy Beauty Shop) getting a trim. When we put her in the
car, she automatically translates that as a trip to the puppy doctor. She
starts shaking uncontrollably. She knows where she is going because she does
not shake a bit on the way home...I felt sorry for her again last night. I
was determined to watch every play of the Rose Bowl game. Molly agreed to
let me have the recliner, but toward the end, she became very assertive
about not having any playtime. She would jump two feet off the floor and
poke my arm. She finally brought three of her favorite toys, hopped up on
the recliner and deposited them in my lap. After the final whistle, we had a
vigorous play session. She seemed happy. That makes me happy. Nothing like
being happy. Life goes on.
