...Gradual Clearing...

NEAR FREEZING BY DAYBREAK: Alabama got a widespread drenching from
this latest storm system. Now we are dealing with an estimate on how
soon the clouds will get out of here. We look for clearing later
tonight in time for the temperature to fall to near freezing by
daybreak. A band of clouds persisted much of today over the north half
of the state and temperatures across the Tennessee Valley barely got
out of the low 40s. The colder air was slower about reaching SE
Alabama and they warmed into the mid 60s.

We look for mostly sunshine Tuesday and Wednesday. Our next chance of
rain will be on Thursday. We look for some showers to arrive by
Thursday afternoon. Showers and some thunderstorms will increase in
number Thursday night. This could include some strong thunderstorms.
There will still be a good chance of showers and some storms extending
into at least Friday morning. We will have some mild afternoon
temperatures Wednesday and Friday, mostly in the mid 60s.

THE ALABAMA RAIN SITUATION FOR 2006: There was a huge variation on
the amount of rain around the Birmingham area and areas both further
north and to the south. This list will show you the big difference:
42.59 inches for the year in Huntsville--a deficiency of 14.92 inches
56.56 at Birmingham Airport—an excess of 2.57
44.88 at Montgomery—a deficiency of 9.89
49.35 at Mobile Regional Airport—a deficiency of 16.94

It was only one year ago that Mobile finished 2005 with a huge
surplus, so they have had a big contrast in rainfall amounts for the
last 24 months. Pensacola had a similar contrast. Hurricanes played a
big part in 2005.

OUR WORLD OF WEATHER: There was still 18 inches of snow on the ground
this morning at Goodland, 19 inches at Atwood and 25 inches at
Wallace, all located in NW Kansas. In Eastern Colorado, there was 30
inches on the ground at Kit Carson and 16 inches in the Denver area.
Coldest temperature in the lower 48 this morning was 20 below at
Antero Reservoir in North Central Colorado and 8 below at Hallock,
Minnesota. It was 42 below in Nuiqsut, Alaska. Whittier, Alaska had 73
inches of snow.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: We semi-dreaded New Year's Eve night
because of fireworks, which always send Molly headed for the hills
just as quickly as thunder and lightning. Amazingly we heard very few.
She did head to one of her safe places in a back bedroom, but we gave
her a chew bone. That was like giving her a sedative. It greatly
alleviated her fear of a firecracker. We may have discovered something
good. Next time there is a big thunder-boomer, she may get another
chew bone. Life goes on. It is always interesting. Looking for another
great year with Miss 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
