Seems like there is an old, old song by that title possibly by the Sons of the Pioneers but maybe not.
From the Tennessee River all the way down to the coast, there were big smiles this morning because of our change in weather. A nice cool morning and much lower humidity.
I took a short walk just as the sun was trying to break the darkness on the east horizon. I did not want to come back even though the coffee was almost ready.
Here is a roundup of early morning lows from all sources including official NWS, 3340 Skywatchers, private stations–you name it.

PERSONAL
I know I get a little too excited about lists like this. Probably not near as important as I make it seem. But remember, even though I am older than Kudzu, I am still a life-long weather geek. Too late to get it out of my blood.
