AFTER THE RAIN, MUCH COOLER: Virtually all of Alabama has received
substantial rainfall in the last 24 to 36 hours. The rain will be tapering
off by tomorrow morning followed by a noticeable chance to cooler. So much
so, that we could see some patches of light frost in the colder North
Alabama valleys at daybreak Saturday.

We have far more rainfall reports than we have space, so let's look at
selected amounts:

1.11 inches in Anniston
1.90 in Selma
1.89 in Mobile
2.59 at Evergreen
1.27 in Cullman
1.72 in Sayre
1.45 on Mt. Cheaha
1.22 in Gadsden
1.44 in Ft. Payne
2.37 in Cordova

We will still see some more rain overnight and possibly a thunderstorm, but
it should move out early morning.

FOOTBALL WEATHER: In an unusual Wednesday night game, UAB hosts South
Florida for a 6:00 p.m. kick off. There is a chance of rain during the game
with temperatures in the upper 60s.

WEDNESDAY WANDERINGS: Cold temperatures this morning included 6 above zero
at Alamosa, Colorado and 22 below at Nuiqsut, Alaska...yesterday's warmest
88 at Ft. Myers and Naples, Florida...how about this for an unusual
occurrence? On this date in 1966, 4 inches of snow accumulated in Huntsville
and the ground was white over other parts of North Alabama...7 inches fell
at Nashville and as much as 18 inches in Kentucky...we were en route from
Arizona back to Birmingham and I heard that report on KWFT in Wichita Falls,
Texas. I couldn't believe what was coming out of the radio speaker...today a
wind chill warning was in effect for the Brooks Range of Northern Alaska
with winds up to 45 mph and temperatures 20 to 30 below zero. That meant the
wind chill could drop to an extremely dangerous 65 below! Yep, winter is on
the way...Skagway, Alaska was enshrouded in a cold fog this afternoon while
SW winds were gusting to 62 mph.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: Feeling a bit groggy today. It was a marathon
watching election returns last night...to bed at 3:00 a.m. and up at 7:00. I
love election returns. It is sort of my Super Bowl...but poor little Miss
Molly. She is reluctant to go to bed until we do and she was really
pooped...she slept till after 10 this morning an all time record for
her...have not had a a chance to play with her all day but I will later this
afternoon...she will then take a long nap and be back to normal...she got
into more twubble...we received a package from North Carolina containing
five bamboo knitting needles...in a few minutes of inattention, Molly opened
the pouch and chewed 3 of the 5 needles-destroying them...after long periods
of being good, she occasionally seems determined to get in trouble...but she
is still loved and life goes on.
