Here is a comprehensive list of some low temperatures recorded around Alabama this morning. Most of these lows were through 6AM. It is possible that some stations dropped another degree or so between 6 and 7 AM.
17 in Florence, Madison, Hartselle
19 in Crossville, Ft. Payne, Muscle Shoals, Gadsden, Athens
20 in Moulton
21 in Cullman, Meridianville, Pinson, Vinemont, Munford, Little River Canyon, Albertville, Brindley Mountain, Parrish
22 in Decatur, Huntsville, Oxford, Leeds, Grayson Valley, Trussville, Guntersville, Jasper
23 in Greystone Cove, Helena (Nathan Jones), Alabaster, Hayden, Rainbow City
24 in Helena (Brian Peters), Birmingham Airport, Inverness, Anniston Airport
25 in Wadley and atop Mt. Cheaha
27 in Montgomery, Auburn and at Shelby County Airport (NWS Office)
28 in Selma, Prattville and Jackson (Clarke County)
29 in Reform and Mobile
30 in Troy and Grand Bay
31 in Lillian (near the beach in South Baldwin County)
33 in Fairhope
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
33/40 weather watchers, Michael Mills at Alabaster and Nathan Jones in Helena, emphasized a very heavy frost this morning. That is probably the case over a wide area of the state, especially in the valleys. Overall this was our coldest morning so far.
SCANNING THE WORLD:
Seemingly an endless supply of bitter cold. As always this winter, we will also be looking across the North Pole into places like Siberia to watch out for intense high pressure areas and bitter cold. Sometimes here in the Deep South we can get our coldest temperatures from a cross-polar invasion of bitter cold air. Here are some selected lows so far this morning and these may not be the final numbers.
20 below zero in Gunnison, Colorado
40 below in Arctic Village, Alaska
37 below in Deadhorse, Alaska with thick ice fog and a wind chill of 53 below
50 below at Chandalar Lake, Alaska during the night--not the final low
49 below in the north part of the Yukon Territory
42 below at Ft. McPherson in Canada's Northwest Territory
42 below at Little Chicago, NWT (gotta find out why it is named that)
41 below at Rabbit Kettle, NWT (another interesting place name)
The 20 below at Gunnison, Colorado is not far from where the all-time low temperature for Colorado was recorded at Taylor Park. If you ever get a chance to drive down the Gunnison River through the town of Gunnison and on downstream to Grand Junction, it is a beautiful drive.
