Of course not. How about this report?
JUST TO WARM YOU UP
At Dampler, in West Australia, the high will be 107 or hotter ever day this week topped by a blistering 111 Saturday. Remember they are “enjoying” summer

OTHER NOTES
How would you like to be in Gambell, Alaska where it was an even zero this morning with wind gusts to 51 mph. I may be mistaken on this, but I thought I heard a news report this morning that the river walk in San Antonio has been drained* Got a note from a nice reader. It was not weather rerlated. Instead it is for the annual cleaning and to remove some sediment.
BSC WEATHER UPDATE
The Alabama Crimson Tide clashes with the Texas Long, Longhorns Thursday night at Pasadena. Not much change in their forecast from what we posted yesterday. The Pasadena area should be mostly sunny today with a high in the 70s; partly sunny Wednesday again in the 70s; the high on Thursday should be about 72, then clear weather Thursday night and the game-time temperatures will probably be in the low to mid 60s. If you are staying over after the game, the weekend will be dry with highs 65-72.
FINAL NOTE
I feel sure we will update the list of low temperatures several times later this morning as time permits. In a long list like this, we sometimes overlook a few, but we don’t mean to.
