I know some of you of greater latitude and elevation have harsher winters historically than us here in the southeastern United States. Many will scoff when they hear a Southerner say something like, "it was cold at my house last night", etc. Southerners could never win a contest of "my winter is rougher". We do have really cold weather here in north AL on occasion. In the mid-80's it went below zero three nights in row and didn't get above freezing for ten days. Everything froze. That was an anomaly in a region where the frostline is 12" (that may be stretching it some). I do know how very cold it gets "up north" and "out west". What was it Mark Twain said about the weather? Nonetheless, I am old enough to know that complaining about the weather is an exercise in futility. Still, it does not keep me from cursing the weather under my breath every now and again when the air is almost to cold to breathe, but here is the thing about meteorological conditions here in "The Heart of Dixie". Where I live we have a phenomena known as Alabama Weather. I sometime refer to them as "fire and ice days". It is where you might leave the comfort of an electric blanket and toasty warm house in the morning time dressed heavy and by the afternoon you have resorted to turning on the AC stripping down to your underwear, etc. Really, it is nothing new, but for those who don't live here or haven't experienced this, be prepared. The weather forecast for this weekend is a prime example of Alabama Weather when we go from a sunny forecast on Saturday evening of 66 degrees to 14 on Monday morning and a windchill factor of 3 F.
PS: I thought a couple of Barbara might warm things up a little. Have a great and stay warm or cool. Jeffery

I am not a "follower" of Shawn Ryan, but he begs some good questions in this video about Congress critter Dan Crenshaw and all of Congress. I bet Dan keeps his mouth shut as he doesn't want any semblance of an investigation. None of them do.
