GOODBYE FREEZING TEMPERATURES: We had to be concerned for freezing
temperatures for much of the past week and over the weekend. It is likely
that some freeze damage occurred. Here is a quick look at some low
temperatures this morning and they are similar to what occurred also Sunday
morning.
24 at Black Creek with heavy frost (NE Etowah Cty)
25 in DeSoto State Park
27 in Ft. Payne and Crossville
28 in Meridianville
29 in Decatur
31 in Huntsville
32 in Anniston, Tuscaloosa, Albertville, Cullman
33 in Montgomery
The weather pattern is changing. Instead of more unseasonably cold
nights, we are going for a milder trend and you know what that means. We
will, of course, have occasional showers and maybe even some thunderstorms.
Actually another cold front will be trying to move down into Alabama Tuesday
setting off some showers. The front will fizzle out between Birmingham and
Montgomery. We are going to omit showers from the forecast for Wednesday.
That could possibly be a mistake, but we believe the ones that occur will be
down south.
As the front works back north as a warm front, we may see some
afternoon showers on Thursday. The best chance of some showers and maybe
some thunderstorms will be late Friday and Friday night. Meanwhile, our low
temperatures (instead of being in the 20s and 30s) will be in the 40s and
50s and afternoons in the 60s and 70s.
BAD THINGS ON THIS DAY: Here in Alabama a tragic event on March 27
, 1994 which was Palm Sunday. A powerful tornado cut a 50-mile path from
Ragland in St. Clair County over to the Georgia border. It moved through the
Ohatchee area. But the most tragic event occurred at the Goshen United
Methodist Church in Spring Garden when 20 people were killed inside the
church...on this same date way back in 1890, 78 people were killed by a
tornado in Louisville, including 44 in the Falls City Hall building. This
still stands as the most people ever killed by a tornado in a single
building...and finally, on this date in 1964, the Alaskan earthquake. It was
a powerful 8.6 on the Richter Scale.
MONDAY MEANDERING: Deep snow atop Mt. LeConte in the Smoky
Mountains this morning-15 inches worth and they had a low of 10...12 inches
on the ground at Beech Mountain, NC and 6 inches at Mt. Mitchell...cold
temperatures this morning an even zero at Stanley, Idaho in the Sawtooth
Mountains (the mountains really do look like the teeth of a saw)...it was 36
below in Deadhorse, Alaska.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Much, much playtime with Little Miss
Molly over the weekend-maybe a record amount. And guess what? It just makes
her want to play more. I really think that little girl believes I was put on
this old earth merely to play with her in all of her waking hours. Had a
great walk yesterday afternoon. The moment we stepped out the door,
Bridgette was passing by. Bridgette is another Shih-tzu and her grandmother
was walking her. There was lots of loving. A bit later way up the walking
track, a lady saw us pass by and came out to the track with her little
granddaughter to play with Molly. Another big long love session. Overall,
Molly cannot complain about the nice weekend she had. Life goes on.
