* 18 inches is how much snow has fallen at Layton, Utah in a week-long series of three storms. Matt Marshall, who lives there and frequently reads our material, said his commute from Layton to Salt Lake took two hours. That is only a 20-mile trip straight down I-15. Matt also happens to be a neighbor of my sister-in-law and her family.
* 3 is the dew point in Canadian, Texas in the Panhandle with brisk, dry NW winds. (Extremely, extremely dry) The wildfires (grass and brush fires) in the Texas Panhandle, are of grave concern.

Appreciate the kind remarks. I grew up in neighboring Hale County (Havana Junction) and graduated from Akron High School. All of that area down there is God's Country as far as I am concerned...including Moundville, Greensboro, Eutaw, Demopolis, you name it!
