AN OVERNIGHT FREEZE: This could be one of the coldest nights we have had so
far in January. It has not been below 28 all month in Birmingham and we
expect 27 tonight. While that 27 is the projected average across a good part
of Central Alabama, the old thermometer may sink on down to the 22 to 25
range in the colder valleys, especially in NE Alabama.

Another sunny day Thursday and most of Friday as temperatures moderate.
Clouds will increase Saturday with some showers arriving late in the day and
becoming more numerous Saturday night. Our main rain with this storm system
will be Saturday night and Sunday. A few thunderstorms during that event
could be strong. We will also see some 1 to 2 inch rainfall amounts with
this event.

JANUARY CONTINUES ABNORMAL: That includes both temperatures and rainfall.
Based on Birmingham records, which are typical for Central Alabama, the
thermometer has climbed to 60 or higher on 15 of the first 24 days including
5 days 70 or warmer. The temperature has been down to freezing or lower only
5 nights. Most sections of the state are showing an excess in rainfall so
far.

AROUND THE GLOBE: Fort Yukon, Alaska north of the Brooks Range had 54 below
zero this morning. Ironically that is the station that holds the all time
high temperature record for Alaska of 100 degrees...also 54 below in
Chandalar Lake this morning, 52 below in Eagle and over in NW Canada it was
45 below at Dawson in the Yukon Territory...down here where 48 of our 50
states are attached, it was 15 below at Gunnison, Colorado...83 in Ft. Myers
and Vero Beach, Florida was yesterday's warmest.

OTHER QUICK NOTES: After some very mild temperatures for part of this
month, 3 to 7 inches of snow was expected in Saranac Lake, New York in the
next 24 hours...on this date in 1991, the temperature fell to minus 25 in
that resort town...enjoyed a ride up to Sand Rock Monday...great to see Vic
Bell again, the 33/40 weather watcher from Black Creek...on the way home,
James demolished one of those big, thick custom made chocolate milkshakes at
Hardees in Rainbow City in only 3 minutes...he sounded like a vacuum
cleaner...yummy, yummy...Happy 44th birthday to our own Bill Murray today.
He is celebrating it while on business in Dallas...guess who will cross over
the great divide with their 50th birthday in early June?

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: So sad to read in the paper this morning about
Little Bo. He was a puppy that was stolen from a family on Highway 69 south
of Tuscaloosa while the family was getting ready for church. That
unfortunate act devastated a little 4-year-old child...if you were to ask
Little Miss Molly she would say she is not getting enough playtime. She must
be forgetful because we have played a record amount in the last 3 days. It
drives her crazy when I toss 4 balls to near the ceiling and let them fall
all around her. She goes berserk while they are bouncing and tries to gather
them all in a pile for another round...most enjoyable walk with the little
lady. Crisp and clear. The Old Crow Motel was vacant and looked very stark.
Even the Old Crow Creek is running again after the recent rains. Makes a
pleasant sound as it comes down over a little rock falls. Life goes
on...hopefully for a long, long time.
