...Cool Nights; Comfortable Days...

SEVERELY CLEAR: That term is an inside joke when we used to be at the
National Weather Service at Birmingham Airport. In those days, we did
all of the pilot weather briefing. We had one pilot who owned a light
plane and flew all across the country on business. He would usually
call about daybreak and want a briefing for the day. He always wanted
not just clear weather, but severely clear. The name stuck. In later
years, he made an emergency landing twice in a cow pasture between
Birmingham and Chattanooga because of low ceilings. Other pilots in
the area named the cow pasture after him.

We certainly had severely clear weather today. A big dome of
high-pressure area guaranteed that. The atmosphere looks almost void
of any pollutants. Out travelling this morning over the ridges of NE
Jefferson County, I imagine the visibility would be about 60 miles.
That does not happen in summer.

THE MORNING CHILL: As usual, we have a long list of low temperatures
posted on the 33/40 Weather Blog, but here are a few samples:

30 at Grantley, Broomtown (NE Alabama)
32 Russellville
33 Muscadine (windshields covered with frost)
35 Hamilton, Cottondale
36 Scrougout, Gaylesville
39 Moulton, Concord/Hueytown, Jasper, Vernon, Vigo
41 Tuscaloosa
43 Anniston
46 Birmingham Airport

OUR NEXT WEATHER CHANGE: More great weather through Wednesday, but a
slight chance of showers showing up on Thursday and increasing
Thursday night and Friday. The main rain day will likely be on Friday.
We may still have some showers around over the weekend.

TROPICAL WEATHER: Very little excitement. A low-pressure area over
the Gulf of Honduras is affecting a large part of the NW Caribbean. It
is practically stalled and not much chance of any development.

GLOBAL ROAMING: A snow survey this morning shows that virtually all
of Alaska now has a snow cover, as well as about the north ½ of
Canada. In the lower 48, only 6/10 of 1% was covered—most of that in
the mountain west…the temperature in Basrah, Iraq will be about 95
Tuesday and Wednesday…it was 15 below this morning in Bettles, Alaska
and 15 in Berlin, New Hampshire…it is interesting to note that the
State of Alaska has experienced a 180-degree swing in temperature over
the years, ranging from 100 on June 27, 1915 at Ft. Yukon to a low of
80 below on January 23, 1971 at Prospect Creek Camp. That is the only
time it has ever been 100 in Alaska and, ironically, that 100 ties the
all-time record for the Hawaiian Islands.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Took a 212-mile round trip down into
West Alabama yesterday and had a ball. Destination, of course, was
good old Havana and Havana Junction. It was homecoming day for the
small, but neat, Havana Methodist Church. Thanks to Mary Ann Avery and
Donald Rainey for letting everyone know. My sister and I used to walk
two miles each way every Sunday to that small church, even though we
were Baptist. Saw a lot of old friends. The Warrior River Valley was
sparkling clear with big fields of rolled up hay and horses and cows.
We had a feast at the old Havana School after the service. When I got
home, I could tell Little Miss Molly knew I had been gone too long.
She shadowed me the rest of the afternoon and late into the night,
even taking naps right at my feet. She is my little "stick-tight." I
sometimes call her Super Glue.
