Got up at 6am and it was 19 degrees on my patio here South of Atlanta.
Frost on car windshield in Gulf Shores this morning.
33.6F on patio thermometer and bird bath 3/8" of ice on complete surface in Foley.
Cold enough here south of Atlanta for the door locks on my F150 to freeze and become inoperable. The recall they did to fix them obviously didn’t work, so they get to try again.
3 degrees when I got up, warmed up to a Balmy 10 degrees now. Central Illinois.
Took my coffee out on the porch this morning and it froze so fast the ice was still warm.
This was in the wilds of Clarke County, AL. I think the red wolf moon scared the thermometer so badly that the mercury is staying hidden down in the bulb. Just my opinion.
Just upper 30s along the immediate coastal weather stations.
So far we have been spared sustained sub-freezing temps along most of the Alabama coast this winter...

Though Milton Rittelmeyer claims it was 31 on the beach just prior to sunrise...

There was a bit of 'sea smoke' over the gulf water at sunrise (gulf water temp in the low 60s)...

officially it is colder than a witches (you know what) in a brass bra doing pushups in the snow.
it's a balmy 37 here in South MS.
Isn't that, "A witch's HEART"?Quote:

28° degrees when I left the house at 0500.

It's so cold... I drove through Prichard and the bangers had their pants pulled up.
it was so cold that we had to split up the piano for firewood, but we only got two chords.
It was a cool 19 degrees at 6am. this morning
In Foley, this morning (Saturday 1/26) there's a "good frost". I noticed a forecast for the area for 1/29/19 TUESDAY - 24 - 26 degrees Tuesday night.
Currently 16 outside Chicago, Wednesday our high is -15 with a projected low of -29 over night. Those are without windchill...

I did my basic training there this time of year. Great Lakes. For a young man from Alabama I thought I would freeze to death. I don't think the wind ever stopped blowing
I've worked in -22 and -17 degrees. Plenty enough to know I don't want any more of it.
Last job I worked in Chicago I was 125 feet in the air, the high was 25 and the winds 35mph. My afib was so bad that if I got 4 good heartbeats in a row it was worth celebrating. That was the last for me.

I was deferred from my next assignment when they reactivated the 10th Mountain Div. at Ft.Drum after 4 years at Ft.Wainwright AK.A call to the Captain that would have been my commander revealed that the whole base was under construction and we would be working and living in old WWII Buildings and the time line for finishing would be when I would be leaving , And there was no housing for family so it was a unaccompanied tour as much as I loved AK I was ready for a warmer climate , l choose to get out and go Army Reserves . I got my warm climate a few years later in the 1st. Gulf War . so careful what you ask forQuote:

19 degrees on my patio here South of Atlanta again.
In all fairness it did snow (albeit briefly) in Thomasville about 100 miles north of the pier.
And Birmingham had a decent snowfall Tuesday morning.
But the effects of that weather or this morning's "Polar vortex" did not really reach the coast (as advertised).
Much of the immediate coastal area did NOT fall below freezing, though a "hard freeze" was forecast when they decided to close the pier yesterday.
Thank goodness!
NEWSFLASH: Crime rates plummet along with temperatures in north Alabama...

Birmingham was a bust as far as snow. The cold air was too slow overtaking the bulk of the rain mass, so it was hit or miss as to whether you saw any or not. Most woke up to a light dusting, maybe a half-inch if you were lucky. Ground temps and the rain kept it from sticking too much. Balmy 24 at my house this morning (in NW Jefferson County). Looks like a decent warmup headed into the weekend. Hoping to catch a Marengo County buck or two chasing some tail Saturday and Sunday. Here's to tight lines for those of you headed to the pier!
Must have hit a cold pocket here at my hunting camp in Clarke Co. , AL. Went to start up the fireplace and the flames kept freezing and falling off the ends of the matchsticks---had to use a butane lighter. Swept up the little flame buds carefully, except one got caught in the broom and caused a minor conflagration when it thawed out.
Great Lakes for my boot camp, BEE, a school and c school. I spent right around two years there. I was present for the lowest temperature on record in the Chicago area in January, 1985.
As a kid from the Caribbean Islands who had never been further north than the Smokies, it was tough for a while.
I heard that them thieving, malnourished, skinny-assed meth/crack heads can't stand the cold.Quote:
