...Changeable Weather...

THE ALABAMA STORY: It is a continuing story of change. The weather
can get in an awful rut during the summer, but winter weather in the
Deep South does not stay the same very long. A cold front was moving
slowly SE through the state today. By morning, the front should be all
the way down in Florida. It will be clearing overnight and by morning
low temperatures will be in the upper 20s. The rain will be ending
down over SE Alabama later today and this evening.

Meanwhile, turning our eyes back to the NW, we already see another
mass of arctic air coming across the Canadian border and headed
straight for Alabama. This new cold front will reach the Tennessee
River by noon and Central Alabama by midafternoon. You will know when
it gets here because of a temporary increase in cloudiness and the
wind shifting around to the NW as high as 25 mph at times.
Might even see a few snow flurries with that front in the afternoon
and evening. No accumulation.

We are going to have some very low nighttime temperatures behind that
front. Here in Central Alabama, we have listed 21 for the average low
Wednesday morning and 19 for Thursday morning. The old backyard
thermometer will start going back up Thursday afternoon reaching 50
and all the way up to 60 Friday afternoon. It looks like lots of
sunshine beginning Wednesday.

As the front today moved SE, it brought widespread rain and even a
brief changeover to snowflakes on the higher terrain of NE Alabama.
Some decent amounts of rain occurred with over 1 inch at Vernon.
Birmingham received 0.78 bringing our excess for the young year to 1.45.

GLOBAL ROAMING: Reports out of London show that Britain is having the
coldest winter in over 10 years. Same story for much of France and
Belgium. London does not get a great amount of snow, but over the
weekend Heathrow Airport, a very busy world hub, had to cancel all
flights going and coming. Same story in Paris. Alaska is always an
interesting place. Over the weekend, there was a waterspout near
Sitka. This morning it was 44 below zero at Hooper Bay with a wind
chill of 69 below. Over the weekend, the actual temperature dropped to
a bitter 62 below zero at Chandalar Lake. Down here where 48 of our
states are neighbors, the coldest was 17 below at Devils Lake, North
Dakota. I have got to find out about that name. I certainly do feel
for everyone in Kentucky. An ice storm has to be one of the most
horrible things to go through with and the suffering is a whole lot
more widespread than a single F5 tornado.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Watched the Super Bowl last night for
the first time in 3 or 4 years. It was a good game, but I still like
college football better. Saying all this to admit that I had to ignore
my Little Miss Molly for about 6 hours. She let me know it too by
making frequent stops in my office and glaring at me. This morning
after coming in from her walk, her feet were wet. She came running
over to me in the kitchen where there is a tile floor to greet me. She
put her paws up on my knee and her back feet skidded completely out
from under her and she turned a backward flip. One of the greatest
enjoyments I have with that little girl is that she is always glad to
see me. Even if I take a short trip to the store and come back, she
greets me like I have been away on a month-long vacation. Life goes on
