* 6 is how many years in a row that Birmingham has gone without measurable snow at the official airport reporting site. Maybe a dusting in the area since then. (Thanks to 3340 WeatherWatcher Mike Calloway for reminding us of that. Mike loves to research weather records)
* 12% is the chance of Birmingham getting one inch or more of snow in February based on long-term records and calculated by the NWS
* 2% is our chance of getting 4 inches or more snow in February
* 113 is how many days in a row with no rain in Phoenix
* 250 is approxmately how many speeches/programs that James Spann does each year
* 4,000 is his estimate of how many speeches/programs that he has done since doing TV weather
* 25,000 is the estimated mileage that he has driven to all those speeches
* 0 is the number of accidents he has had during all that time on the road
* 48 is the number of inches of snow for Anchorage this winter, almost exactly normal
* 19 is how many inches of snow this winter at Chicago-Ohare

* 90 is how hot it got at several Southern California locations yesterday including Anaheim and Santa Ana
* 13 below was the "Lower 48" low this morning at International Falls, Minn
* 26 below was the coldest in Alaska at Point Lay. Alaska has "warmed" considerably lately
* $153.07 is the amount of my latest gas bill. The highest since we moved to Trussville in November, 1999.
* $12.96 was my water bill so that remains very low
* 2 is the number of inches of snow on the ground this morning at Morristown, Tenn., near Knoxville
* 9 is how many hours I was dead in the water with internet service yesterday. However, a spliter went bad at my house. The service was not out in this area.

* 50 is the projected number of extra gray hairs among all our weather group by the time we work our way through the expected weather this weekend.
* 60 is the estimated pounds of newspapers and magazines I recycled this morning. I MUST cut back on my subscriptions. Reading is one of my addictions.
