Moving a little slow this morning, but have the video update traveling up to the web site.
Boy, did we come close to a white Christmas, but I know that you know that old saying about close! I refuse to lose my optimism, and I'm already looking for a chance at a white Christmas next year. But this winter is still new, so we have several months to get some snow yet!
In the meantime, it appears that our long wave trough over the east coast and the cold we've had for a couple of weeks is going to go away for the next week. A new long wave trough position gets established along the west coast putting the eastern US under a ridge. That means southwest flow for Alabama and a warm up with temperatures going above seasonal normals - perhaps by 10 degrees or so. Guess I won't be able to use the cold weather as an excuse for doing some of those outside chores! Darn!
