================================================

MUCH COLDER, THEN MILDER: Our weather is going to be changeable over
the next few days, but looking down the road, how about a high in the
mid 60s by Sunday afternoon and staying mild next Monday and Tuesday.
Meanwhile, we will have to pay for that as another supply of arctic
air rolls into the state starting tomorrow.

The upper air flow today is not favourable for any rapid clearing, so
we may see some clouds stubbornly hang on through the night. In fact,
there is a slight chance of some light rain late tonight, but passing
mainly across South Alabama.

Thursday is not going to be very comfortable, because that old north
wind will be running between 12 and 25 mph and maybe some gusts of 30
or more. We are listing an average high for Central Alabama at 39. Our
coldest morning should be Friday with an average low of 19 along the
I-20 corridor, but mid teens across the north third of the state.

Originally, it looked like a good chance of rain Saturday, but we
believe now that most of that will be over the south half of the
state. Dry weather is expected on Sunday as we moderate into the mid
60s. Even though yesterday's rain was not heavy, it was very
beneficial because it fell slow enough to allow almost all of it to
soak in. amounts varied from only 1/10 of an inch in places to about ½
inch in other areas.

THE WORLD AROUND US: Lots of interesting stuff going on. Matt
Marshall, our contact in Layton, Utah, reports an additional 9 inches
of snow yesterday and now 18 inches on the ground. Up in the Wasatch
Mountains, there is 91 inches of snow at Alta. Yesterday morning the
official low at Salt Lake Airport was 2 below zero--the coldest they
had experienced in almost four years. This morning we found a low of
38 below at Embarrass, Minnesota and 35 below at Shirley Basin,
Wyoming. Strangest enough, the coldest we could find in Alaska was 11
below at Holt. Blizzard Warnings were in effect for St. Paul Island,
Alaska today with heavy snow, near zero visibility and whiteout
conditions as winds were gusting to 60 mph. That is the location where
they went about 38 years without a thunderstorm and, when the
lightning did appear, it scared the people half to death. Highest
temperature in the world in the last 24 hours was 108 at Telfer,
Australia. Strongest wind so far today was 70 mph at Adak Island,
Alaska.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Not a pleasant story today as I am the
bearer of bad news. Brigette Giovanni, a beautiful little Shih-tzu at
the far north end of the walking track had to be put down last Friday
because of walking pneumonia and a mass that had developed near her
heart or kidney. Brigette and Molly were good friends and, even as
late as this morning on our daily walk, Molly stopped behind
Brigette's house to see if she would come out. Brigette belonged to
Lisa. Lisa wanted to hold Brigette when the vet gave her the shot. It
did not work at first and Brigette had a seizure. It was a very
painful time for the family. Brigette and Molly had some great times
going round and round. Life goes on—sad at times......
