MORE DRY WEATHER AT LEAST THROUGH MONDAY: It is not this unusual to
have nice periods of clear weather in Alabama in November. That is
what we are expecting into the early part of next week. Our next rain
event may possibly hold off until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
Meanwhile, look for mostly sunshine through the weekend. Afternoons
will be very pleasant, but nights will still be chilly. This
afternoon, a high pressure ridge extended all the way from the NW Gulf
of Mexico through West Tennessee into the Great Lakes. That will drift
over us tonight. With clear skies and no wind and low dew points, we
have lowered our low temperature for tonight from the mid 30s to
around 32. Again tonight some of the colder valleys will have upper
20s.

Low temperatures last night included 26 at Black Creek in Etowah
County with heavy frost. That location, off the DeSoto Parkway NE of
Gadsden, has had 18 freezes and 21 frosts so far this season. Other
lows this morning included 27 in Munford, 28 in Anniston and Pinson,
30 in Alabaster and Tuscaloosa, 31 in Concord/Hueytown and 32 at
Birmingham Airport.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: That intense low pressure area that produced
very high winds along the mid-Atlantic coast yesterday, was centered
off the Virginia and Maryland coast this afternoon. The heaviest rain
has now spread northward from New York City to Boston and Portland.
Onshore winds were gusting to near 40 mph this afternoon on the
Massachusetts coast…still plenty of very cold weather in the Arctic.
It was 45 below zero this morning at Mayo in the Yukon Territory. It
was 40 below at Northway, Alaska and 56 below at the Summit,
Greenland…coldest in the lower 48 this morning was 12 at Alamosa,
Colorado and the warmest yesterday 86 at Oregon Pipe Cactus National
Monument in Arizona…don't forget—it is springtime in the Southern
Hemisphere and the temperature today was around 110 at Gascoyne
Junction in West Australia…bitter cold air was pouring south into the
Northern U.S. at this time in 1950. It would plunge the Birmingham
temperature to 5 above zero on November 25. That record low stands out
like a sore thumb from all other record lows in November…still getting
wet weather in the Pacific NW. Amazingly, in one 5-day period not long
ago, 31.10 inches of rain fell at June Lake, Washington.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: No family members present to celebrate
Thanksgiving with us this year for the first time in a long, long
time. Work schedules and other conflicts would not permit, but Little
Miss Molly is here and she can make any day a lot brighter. Among the
many things we are thankful for is having Little Miss Molly for 4
years. We love her very much. Even when we are gone for a few hours
shopping, we want to hurry back and give her a treat and play with
her. I don't know what I would do if for some reason I would have to
be gone for several weeks. I know I probably over dramatize my love
for that little girl, but it is genuine. Life goes on and we are
definitely thankful for Molly....

LOOKING FOR AN ALARM SYSTEM?
CALL PRESTIGE ALARMS--WE ARE DIFFERENT.
GIVE US A CHANCE!

Prestige Alarm specializes in monitoring security systems
without the use of expensive phone lines or unreliable cell phones.

How do we do this? Prestige Alarm is one of the few companies
who monitors with an UL listed FCC licensed radio network.
In a typical system, if your phone line is cut or fails,
then you have no communication to the outside world.

Since we do not use phone lines, we can still dispatch the
fire or police when the emergency requires. Despite cut
phone lines, storms or over worked cell phones, we still
get the signal through.

We do not offer the free systems like some of the other
security companies. But you do not want to trust in free
equipment to protect the people who are close to you.

Call Prestige Alarm today to get the best alarm for your
home. Ask for Eddie or Amie. 205.956.4811
