RAIN DEFICIENCY GROWING LARGER: Unless we get some rain, the 2007
rain deficit at Tuscaloosa Airport will reach an almost unheard of 30
inches by next Monday. The chance of any beneficial rain between now
and then seems rather remote. There are some hints of an isolated
shower or two at some point this weekend, but whatever occurs will be
widely spaced and not enough to help the situation. In fact, we have
left the mention of rain out of our 7-day forecast all the way through
Sunday.
Dew points were very low this afternoon and we are in for another
rather chilly night, although not as cold as last night. Some of the
colder valleys will probably touch the freezing mark again tonight.
The average low we are using across Central Alabama is 34.

There was considerable frost last night and early this morning and
moderate to heavy in many areas. A few of the overnight low
temperatures:

21 in Remlap
22 Cottondale
23 Valley Head, Crossville
24 Rainbow City, Hamilton
25 Mumford
26 Moody, Heflin

The final low for Birmingham Airport was 28 recorded shortly after
6:00 a.m. It was also 28 in Tuscaloosa and 27 in Anniston. A milder
trend will be the story for the remainder of the week, although
another front will cool us down a bit again on Thursday.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: The Northern USA has been hit hard by storms
and wintry weather, including substantial snow over the north and NE.
The latest snow survey shows that 28% of the lower 48 states was
covered by snow this morning. That is a good start for the winter
season. Snow covers most of Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and Montana
mountains and into the Pacific Northwest. There is also a snow cover
from near Rapid City, Des Moines, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and New York
northward. Washington and Oregon have caught the most damaging
weather. Literally thousands of trees were uprooted the last two days
as winds gusted over 100 mph in coastal locations, including 129 mph
at Bay City, Oregon. Numerous mudslides and flash floods wiped out
numerous roads. Power outages were widespread. Cold temperatures this
morning included 46 below zero at Northway, Alaska and 3 below at
Baudette, North Dakota. It is expected to drop to 58 below tonight at
Summit on the Greenland icecap and to 65 below by Saturday.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Believe it or not, I have not had a
ballgame with Molly in nearly five days. Since the population of her
abode tripled, I do not get as many chances to play with her. On
Saturday we had 16 people here for our little great grandson's first
birthday. Molly had to greet everyone individually, but then there was
so much confusion for her that she went to the nearest nook and corner
where she could find some peace. On a walk yesterday, she got to greet
her lover boy, the young Yorkie, and they had a ball. Life goes on.....
