Well, it has not progressed to Cabin Fever status yet but yesterday was a good start. Again this morning the SE USA is under a blanket of clouds that extends north to Virginia and Kentucky and west to Memphis and Louisiana.
Across Alabama, the clouds hang low especially over the central and south part of the state. The lower clouds are only about 400 feet above the ground in many areas meaning that some of the ridges are obscured.
I love a day like yesterday with low clouds with persistent cold rain and drizzle. I realize, however, that it gives some people claustrophobia.
Not much chance of seeing the sunball today but better luck Friday.
Up at 4:51 this morning. Three minutes later, as I was enjoying my second sip of coffee, Little Miss Molly came strolling into my office wagging her tail. She immediately started clanging the little bell on the back door so away we went on our first walk of the day. The cold drizzle hitting my face was invigorating. All the birds were quiet as could be. Maybe they have Cabin Fever.
By the way, yesterday, with clear skies you could easily see the the deep snow cover on satellite photographs over New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle.
What did we ever do without satellites and radar? We made do. When I joined the U. S. Weather Burerau in 1957, we had neither!
