================================================
FEBRUARY BEGINS WITHOUT EXTREME COLD: Here we are in a new day and a brand new month. It is the last month of winter unless you go by the official numbers. We consider December, January and February winter.
Regardless, we are beginning this new month without an immediate threat of bitter cold like we had in early January. Indeed, we do not see anything under 25 degrees for the next 7 or 8 days. We will have some chilly nights. Afternoons will not exactly be tank-top weather, but we expect 50s almost every afternoon this week.
PRECIPITATION: Two rain events this week. The first one at some point later tonight, which should be on the light side. Light rain was on the way over parts of Mississippi this afternoon spreading toward the NE. There is no well-defined system with this, so most of Tuesday should be rain free. For the coming week, Wednesday will probably be our championship day with mostly sunshine and highs around 57. The day will start chilly with an average low of about 32, but some upper 20s in the NE Alabama valleys.
OUR MAIN RAIN EVENT: It starts on Thursday (especially afternoon) and continues well into Friday. We could see a two-day total of about 1.50 inches or so.
It was below freezing over much of Alabama this morning. Here is a partial list:
18 Broomtown
22 Millport, Pinson
24 Cullman, Coker
25 Scrougout, Montgomery
26 Bessemer, Huntsville, Noccalula Falls
27 Tuscaloosa
28 Anniston, Shelby County Airport, Springville
LOOKING OUT ACROSS NORTH AMERICA: We do not see any invasions of super bitter cold arctic air from the Great Northwest country, at least for a while. Rather amazing that the temperature this morning was 19 above zero at Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. That is some of the area that we watch like a hawk during the winter for big cold air build-ups. Temperature extremes include 76 in Miami Sunday and 24 below zero this morning at both Bigfork, Minnesota and Beaver Creek, Alaska. It was 26 below at Ft. Yukon and Point Lay. The latest snow survey shows 69% of the lower 48 with a snow cover this morning. I believe that is the biggest number so far this winter. There is now pretty much a solid cover from Northern South Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas and the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandle northward into Canada.
SOUTHERN MOUNTAINS: Mt. Mitchell, North Carolina had a low of 7 this morning with 6 inches of snow.
STORM ALERT 2010: The second installment is in Gadsden Tuesday night (not Thursday) at the Convention Hall. It starts at 7:00 p.m., so get there early.
MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: My little girl, Miss Molly, for some reason suddenly likes to chase birds. When we stepped out the backdoor this morning she saw and heard two cute little birds chirping up on the walking track 30 yards away. She ran as fast as she could, which means I did too, to try to catch them. I am in a silly mood today and I have often wondered what it would be like if I was the little puppy and Miss Molly was the grown adult. She would take me around the walking track with a leash around my neck and dragging a blue scoop behind her. It is amazing what a simple life she lives and she has taught me a lot about that. Our Sunday School lesson was on that subject yesterday. I have always been a simple person. Life goes on....
