...Chance of Showers Late in Weekend...

SPRINGLIKE WARMTH CONTINUES: That is not unusual because in reality
it is springtime. We do not see any change to cooler until the middle
of next week. There are indications that the next cold front will
reach Alabama next Wednesday, but even after the front passes it will
only be cooler instead of bone-chilling cold. Meanwhile, we are headed
toward some of the mildest temperatures so far this season. Starting
tomorrow and going all the way through next Tuesday, highs should be
in the 70s, mostly in the mid 70s, and lows at night in the 50s.
Remember, it was only 5 days ago most of the Alabama countryside was a
solid sheet of white due to our Saturday night and Sunday snow event.
We speculated back in autumn that we would not get through this winter
without measurable snow and it turned out to be true. It was not a
highly scientific forecast it was at least half speculation.
We do know that there are literally thousands of happy people in
Alabama because of that snow. From all of the comments we get, the
adults almost get as excited as the kids.

It is still not too late to get another snow before the season is
over. We are by no means hinting that. It is just a possibility.
There was a wide variation of low temperatures across Alabama last
night. This happens when a high-pressure system is trying to get out
of town to the east and a south or SW wind sets up during the night.
Over on the east side of the state, it dropped to 32 in Anniston, but
in Birmingham and Tuscaloosa the low was in the mid 40s. Most low
temperatures for the next 5 or 6 nights will be in the 50s.

This afternoon that high-pressure area that slid off into the Atlantic
east of North Carolina while pressure was falling in the Central
Plains. There was some cloudiness approaching Alabama from West
Tennessee and Mississippi. However, there were no showers in progress.

NOTES FAR AND WIDE: 60 inches of snow was on the ground this morning
at Nome, Alaska and 45 inches at Valdez. The coldest temperature in
Alaska was 31 below zero at Arctic Village. In good old Deadhorse, the
wind chill was 45 below. The coldest in the lower 48 was 15 below at
Whitefield, New Hampshire. Warmth is widespread across the Southern
Plains. An interesting place to be today is Wichita Falls in North
Texas where they will have 93 for a high and strong south winds. That
will dry your clothes on the clothesline in no time flat.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: The two little babies are not here for a
short time so Little Miss Molly reclaimed her entire ball field
yesterday and last night and she totally relaxed. She did not have to
keep moving to stay out of the way of all the movement in our living
area. In fact, she spent a long time on the couch relaxing and in a
position to where she could see out the front door and also the back
windows. She and I took a half-mile walk this morning. We met the big
black dog with the crooked tail, that always points east, and he and
Molly had a nice rubbing of the noses and chasing each other for a
bit. It made her morning and it made me have to run fast to keep up
with the little girl. Life goes on—fast at times.
