.....Lots of Rain Over The Weekend......

CLEARING AND COOLER FOR NEW YEAR'S DAY: It is difficult to believe
that good old 2006 is about to leave us. Time for New Year's
Resolutions. I have a bunch of them and they are mostly recycled from
previous years. Again this year, I am going to jettison Pop Tarts and
doughnuts. That is unimportant at the moment. Our main concern is a
big bunch of rain expected late in the weekend. This is a big complex
storm system covering many states. When that happens, it is often that
the further east the storm goes, the more adjustments are needed in
the timing. That has happened to us several times in the last few
days. Now we think the latest time window for our worst weather will
be after midnight Saturday night and through at least mid morning
Sunday. During that time frame, very heavy amounts of rain may occur
with many communities getting 1 to 2 inches. There is a big advantage
when those storms roll through at that late hour. The threat of severe
thunderstorms is much less. In fact, we do not think we will have any
severe, although it is not an absolute. By Sunday night, the weather
should quiet down. The outlook for a fresh start on Monday, January 1
is for clearing, breezy and cooler weather with highs near 60. it will
drop to near freezing Tuesday morning, however we do not see any
outbreak of bitter cold air in the near future.

THE WINTER OF BIG SNOW? Is that what is unfolding for Denver? The
answer we do not know. There was a case back in 1830 when 30 inches
of snow buried Peoria and 36 in Kansas City on December 29. It began
the winter of deep snow. That type weather dominated that winter and
there was much hardship to pioneers on the Plains. Denver is now
almost paralyzed from the second big snowstorm in about a week.
According to press reports, the Colorado governor has declared a state
of emergency in Colorado. We want to give you a few spot reports from
early this afternoon. La Veta Pass in South Central Colorado
visibility only ½ mile and snow with thunder and lightning. Widespread
snow continues east of the mountains out on the Plains. Wolf Creek
Pass has 12 degrees with winds gusting to 44 mph and a wind chill of
11 below. The USA low this morning was 17 below in the west edge of
Yellowstone National Park. In Alaska, it was 41 below at Nuiqsut. Now
78 inches of snow on the ground at Whittier, Alaska.

COTTON BOWL WEATHER: Dallas is under a Tornado Watch this afternoon.
In fact, there is a moderate risk of severe weather over part of East
Texas. However, by Monday when Auburn meets Nebraska in a 10:30 a.m.
kickoff, it should be mostly sunny and cool with about 44 at kickoff
and warming to the mid 50s by the final whistle.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Pulled a fast one on Little Miss Molly
this morning. I needed a power nap badly. I caught her eating some
breakfast and I seized my ex-recliner for my power nap. As soon as she
discovered it, she hopped up on the footrest and snuggled tightly
against my leg for two hours. When I got up, she recaptured the
recliner within 3 seconds. She thinks she owns it. Dennis Altizer, our
Minister of Music at Huffman Baptist Church, has a cat named Sugar
Baby, but he has nicknamed her Computer Cat. She walked across the
computer mouse and sent an e-mail to his brother in Holland before he
had time to proofread it. When his brother tried to call the number
he had sent, the area code was off by one digit. Dennis had to explain
that Sugar Baby sent it before proofing. Life goes on. Our cats and
dogs make it more enjoyable.
