Well, not quite, although some Alabama coastal communities are reporting freezing temperatures. These lows are through 6 o'clock this morning. It is possible, in fact likely, that some areas chilled another degree or so after 6. Here we go with a complete list:
17 in Florence and at an elevation of 1601 feet in Huntsville
18 in Huntsville (Monte Sano, elevation 1654 feet)
19 in Fort Payne, Mentone, Madison, Phil Campbell (SE Franklin County) and Black Creek (NE Etowah County)
20 at Hartsville and atop Mt. Cheaha (Alabama's higherst point, elevation 2407)
21 in Huntsville, Pinson, Moulton and Meridianville
22 in Decatur, Cullman, Desoto State Park, Hayden, Collinsville, Section, Leeds, Hamilton, Guntersville, Albertville
23 in Birmingham, Muscle Shoals, Gadsden, Clay (elevation 1032 feet) Rainbow City, Parrish, Alabaster
25 in Reform, Wedowee, Talladega
26 in Anniston, Tuscaloosa, Helena, Northport
27 in Albertville, Riverchase and at Shelby County Airport (NWS Office)
28 in Eutaw, Tuskegee, Wadley
29 in Montgomery, Phenix City
30 in Selma, Evergreen, Troy, Prattville, Alexander City
32 in Mobile and Dothan
33 in Lillian (along the Baldwin County Coast)
34 at Grand Bay
35 in Fairhope
37 at Bon Secour (near the coast in South Baldwin County)
It is interesting to note that the ground is gradually getting colder. At the 4-inch depth (a standard reporting level) the soil temperature is now in the upper 30s at Hazel Green, in Extreme North Alabama, and on Sand Mountain in Northeast Alabama.
A BAD--VERY BAD DAY IN THE BIG APPLE
Better be thankful that you are not in NYC and trying to get to work this morning? Thousands are walking to work because of the transit strike. No automobiles permitted into Manhattan if there are less than 4 humans in the car. (Dogs don't count)
At 7 am, it was 20 degrees in NYC with a wind chill of 9.
Thank goodness for My Tiny Corner of The World where there are no traffic jams or gridlock. Makes my walk with Little Miss Molly seem like a stroll in the park on a spring morning.
Life goes on . . .riding, walking or chasing Molly full speed ahead!
