...Dry All Week...

TWO MORE COLD FRONTS THIS WEEK: We keep getting a fresh surge of
colder air from the Northwest. There was a big frost this morning.
Another cold front will come through tonight and still another one by
Thursday.

This means a dry week with little or no chance of rain for the next
five days. There will not be enough moist air even along the front to
set off any showers.
All of this fresh cool air is coming straight out of Canada and the
upper Midwest. If that pattern were to continue well into the winter,
we could see some bitter cold temperatures.

It was cold all across Alabama this morning. Several of our 33/40
Skywatchers reports some unusually heavy frost. In fact, our observer
at Scrougeout in NE Etowah County classified it as a monster frost. We
have a long list of morning low temperatures posted on the weather
blog. Here is a shorter list:

24 Cottondale, Broomtown
26 Cedar Bluff, Scrougeout
27 Sycamore, Munford, Remlap
28 Anniston, Coker, Concord/Hueytown
29 Vinemont, Alabaster/Navajo Pines
30 Gadsden, Ft. Payne
32 Birmingham, Haleyville, Fairhope

GLOBAL ROAMING: Sure would not be a good day to be up over Northern
Canada due to an intense low pressure area. At both Resolution Island
and Brevoorte Island, it was sixteen degrees with snow and blowing
snow and wind gusts to 63 mph. Lake effect snow has left two feet of
new snow across south Lewis County in Western New York and 7-11 inches
along the south shore of Lake Superior. This morning in the Great
Smoky Mountain National Park, there was still 7 inches of snow on the
ground at Mt. LeConte and a low of 14 degrees. Much colder air will
over spread the Northeast, in fact, some of the coldest of the season.
By Wednesday morning it should be near 13 degrees at Saranac, New York
and by Thursday morning, 5-10 above zero. The lowest report in the
lower 48 this morning, was 12 at Grand Marais, Minnesota. Coldest in
Alaska was 29 below zero at Artic Village. It was 96 Sunday afternoon
at Santa Ana, California. That is in the heart of the latest wildfire
tragedy, described by some officials as the worst ever in Southern
California. They may get some temporary relief sometime tomorrow with
winds not so strong and an increase in humidity.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: With the majority owner being in the
hospital the last two nights, it has totally disrupted Little Miss
Molly's routine. When I take her to the king size bed with me, she
refuses to stay. She just stands there looking at the door waiting for
her mommy to come to bed. She has made an unusual number of trips to
the front door window to see if she is coming home. She finally goes
to sleep on the king size bed with me but she will not cuddle with me
like she does with the majority owner. Life goes on. And for Little
Miss Molly, it is much happier when she can account for everyone.
