NOTE: Unable to access the ABC 33/40 SkyWatcher Conference for the last two days so this list of Alabama lows in incomplete. That will be resolved later today as I await, like a little boy in a (toy) (candy) (poptart) (doughnut) store, to get upgraded to a Mac (or is it iMac) Ironically, this happens on a day when Apple Computers drops the word, “computer” from their cooperate name.
Here are some temperatures from all over, all designed to make you wish for a cup of Margie Richardson’s prize-winning hot chocolate. She has made Rainbow City the hot-chocolate capitol of Alabama!

* Mayo, in the Yukon, is one of the stations, along with Dawson, that we watch closely for stockpiling bitter cold arctic air. The pressure at both Mayo and Dawson has built to 31.00 inches this morning, Needs to be watched for a jailbreak of bitter cold.
** Love the Old Crow name because we have the Old Crow Motel on Molly’s walking track. A completely unlovable, discombobulated, ugly, old, old tree, but we love it.
