* 2 is how many 30-minute WeatherBrains broadcasts we have done so far

* 3 is coming up tonight for taping. It will be available late tonight or early Wednesday

* 6 is how many inches of snow was still on the ground in Gatlinburg this morning

* 36 is how many inches still atop Mt. Leconte with a low this morning of 4 above

* 15 is how many inches of snow Beech Mountain, North Carolina reports this morning

* 13 inches still blankets Mt. Mitchell, North Carolina with a low this morning of 5

* 52 is the projected high for New York City tomorrow. Surely that will bring dancing in the streets after their record blizzard

* 1 is how many cups of coffee I've had this morning. A record low for this late in the day

* 7 is how many cars I met on US-11 east of Deerfoot Parkway in a two-block stretch a few minutes ago

* 4 is how many of those 7 drivers were talking on their cell phones. Come on folks!

* 90 was the high in Chatsworth, California yesterday (that is summer heat folks)

* 20 below was the cold spot in the lower 48 this morning at Doyleville, Colorado

* 1.6 is how many inches of snow in Flagstaff, Arizona this winter (that's less than 2 inches)

* 60 inches represents their shortfall in snow this winter (absolutely amazing)

* 103 is how many inches of snow Flagstaff had received last year at this time

* 44 is how many weeks I have been donutless (I rarely think of them any more until I see them)

* 1 is how many ball games I have had with Little Miss Molly this morning

* 6 is how many games she expected by this time

Woe is me...life goes on!

Good afternoon and happy valentines day ....Men hurry up ... the CVS is almost out of cards.... and the grocery stors roses are looking pretty ragged... Well as for wweather ... a little ice is ok... its Beautiful , but we can do without lots of ice.... but we will be hanging on the edge again... This weekend was supposed to be baseball tryouts for my two sons, but looks like it will be a wash out... at leaste we will be able to go down to Auburn for the Auburn LSU game... we are headed down for the Bball game and my boys are all excited... Hope we dont get iced out of Bham...But I will not be online for this event... Well enjoy the rest of the Big Vday....

If you show your spouse (or significant other) that you love them everyday, then why focus on only one day of the year?
Secondly, if you DONT show them everyday, then why try to make it up on one day of the year??

I'll just say it... I hate Valentine's Day. It's a holiday for women only! That being said, I did serve my wife breakfast in bed this morning (despite her bronchitis) and gave her her housecoat fresh out of the warm dryer to put on. Other than that, I'm USELESS on Valentines. Yall have a great day and may that Lord Jesus Christ bless you in all you do.

I'm a woman and I'm not too fond of Valentine's Day at all. I think it's just another way for retailers to make a dollar. I agree with goldwingdave....if I didn't know the other 364 days a year that my husband loved me, why in this world would I want to know only 1 day.

Time to do my weather by the numbers.

2 is how many WeatherBrains episodes I have listened to this year.

3 is how many WeatherBrains episodes I will have heard as of tomorrow night.

1/2 is how many inches of snow I got on Saturday.

59.2 is how warm it is right now outside.

4/18 is when Commander in Chief will be back on ABC.

3 is how many checkboxes I voted for Commander in Chief at tvshowsondvd.com this afternoon. (anticipating possible severe weather pre-emptions. Wishing all of the ABC programming fans would go ahead and vote there, just in case, we have severe weather this spring.)

0 is the number of times I have called to complain to 33/40 after severe weather pre-emptions.

4 is probably the number of blogs that I will respond, defending James Spann for his severe weather policy.

11 is how many severe weather events I am predicting will require longform coverage this spring.

7 of those will be in prime-time.

6 will come during spap operas.

400+ is how many calls will flood the 33/40 office this year due to pre-empted soap operas.

68 is the number of SoapNet on my cable system.

0 is how many times I have watched a soap opera.

175 is the number of feet I walk between the television and the computer, during severe weather coverage, watching James Spann and checking Talkweather and this blog.

1000 is how many feet I will walk during severe weather coverage.

Hello JB I just read the 7 day forecast. Had a to LOL when I read Miss Molley was having a conniption fit. I have heard of those in the past . Webester says "con-nip-tion ( A fit of anger, hysteria, etc. tantrum. Also conniption fit" ). The new pooch on the block must have really upset the little girl. :) Take care and have a good Valentine's Day.
