In Auckland here I decided to walk everyday for the year just 7Km but only with a short sleeve shirt. A Tee shirt. So the range of temps is modest by many standards say 10C to 25C at walk time but here is the money line. You walk to the conditions if hot slow if cold really fast and in Sigs case inside Walmart. That brought a laugh. I haven't put on a jacket yet. I do wear a wool shirt. Jackets are too durn much work to keep track of. The 2 fellows I observed weren't even walking fast. (They weren't IN Walmart yet)......I didn't walk fast either. Felt pretty good! I thought you would be in Dothan by now.

The UK 'Government' has mandated that all houses are heated only electrically. Unlike the US, the standard heating in UK has been a gas 'boiler' (aka water heater) with two circuits one heats the domestic hot water and the other circuit is to water filled 'radiators' in each room. To 'reduce carbon' (sic), the government has mandated that all gas water heating is replaced with electric heat pumps. This was because "snow will be a thing of the past" and there would be no more frosty sub-zero days, the University of East Anglia Climate 'scientists' said so. Indeed it was often said that UK would have 'a climate more like Spain' (sic) . The technical specs for heat pumps states that they are only really suitable down to around minus 5C at most otherwise there is no 'heat to pump' and (you couldn't make this up) below minus 5C it is recommended that alternate heating is used such as a gas boiler . However, gas boilers are banned as things are going to be as warm as in Spain after all, trust the climate 'science'. In consequence, the cold weather that is probable in UK will result in even brand new houses effectively being unheated. This may make the surviving population a little restive. So the UK government have mandated and "really do intend to freeze half the population to death by cutting off their carbon-heating emmisions in the dead of winter".

So ... 1348 with computers, planes, trains and automobiles ... but still no heat. But not to worry. The Govnor has it well in hand.

All the News suggests that this was a little out of normal ... although I don't know how much. The article mentions a 50 year event, so that could mean 1970. MADRID – Emergency crews in central Spain cleared 500 roads and rescued over 1,500 people stranded in their vehicles, allowing Madrid and other areas on Sunday to slowly shovel out of the country's worst snowstorm in recent memory. After recording 50 centimeters (20 inches) of snow in the Spanish capital between Friday night and Saturday, Madrid and a large swathe of the country remained impassable Sunday, with roads, rail lines and air travel disrupted by Storm Filomena. The blizzard has been blamed for four deaths. "The danger is not over," Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said. "A week of extreme cold is coming and that will transform all the snow on the ground into ice, thereby multiplying the risk. The storm is bringing with it a cold wave that could push temperatures down to record levels." www.foxnews.com/world/spain-shovels-out-of-snowdrifts-left-by-storm-filomena

Earth's temperature has cooled a bit in the last 30 days. Almost a full degree F. This may not auger well for spring planting. temperature.global/

I deleted my Twitter account because I am just not going to give Jack a user for advertising revenue. My Facebook page got deleted because I posted a Goebbels quote.
This is turning into a cluster ****. Stock market down, as it doesn't like turmoil.
Democrats are vindictive.

Perhaps they prefer a different salute.

"THE FRENCH RIVIERA SUFFERS “A WINTER LIKE NO OTHER” JANUARY 12, 2021 CAP ALLON The south of France has suffered exceptionally chilly temperatures this winter, with reports calling it “a winter like no other”.
Woolly hats, coats, scarves and gloves are a strange sight along the Côte d’Azur (aka the French Riviera), reports monaco-tribune.com, even at this time of year. Normally, a light jacket is all that is needed to keep warm under the winter sun, but temperatures at the close of 2020 and the during the first third of January 2021 have held a baguette-clasping 6 to 7 degrees Celsius below average."electroverse.net/the-french-riviera-suffers-a-winter-like-no-other/

A little chilly again and the subtropical jet is a lot further South than normal indicating that the Hadley cells are not as vigorous as normal. But look at those jets - expect reports of record fast flights to Europe. And the jet running from the Bering strait down to a split in the Pacific and joining the jet to Peru interesting effects on weather cells. A cold front over Florida is expected to drop South across the Caribbean, Cuba and Jamaica to the North coast of South America - not normal.
