GOODBYE TO WILMA: And, it is about time. Wilma had no direct impact
on Alabama but she was a major event for Florida. More about that later.

OUR COLDEST MORNING: We had the lowest temperatures since last
spring for most of the state this morning. We also had the first freezing
temperature and Black Creek, in NE Etowah County reported some scattered
light frost. Some of the lows:

32 at Meridianville (north of Huntsville)
33 at Little River Canyon
34 in Huntsville
35 at Mentone, Black Creek and atop Mt. Cheaha
36 in Pinson, Decatur and Cullman
37 in Birmingham, Fort Payne, Desoto State Park, Hayden,
and Gadsden
38 in Munford and Muscle Shoals
40 in Tuscaloosa
42 at Anniston Airport

MORE COLD AIR MOVING IN: Those north winds were brisk today and
afternoon temperatures only in the 50s sure let us know that autumn is now
here in a big way. Nights are going to be on the chilly side all week with
lows consistently in the 30s. Our coldest morning should be Wednesday, with
34, and some early morning frost. Tonight, the lows will depend on the cloud
cover and wind. Clouds will be in and out during the night and again
tomorrow. After that, mostly sunshine.

WILMA: She made landfall early this morning on the SW coast of
Florida and moved quickly across the south part of the state. She passed
directly across West Palm Beach and out into the Atlantic. Damage is going
to be major because winds exceeded 100 mph all across the area. The
strongest wind gust we have noted so far was 134 mph recorded by National
Park personnel at Fort Jefferson in the lower Florida Keys. At one time, 40
percent of Key West was under water due to the storm surge as estimated by
the chief of police.

Wilma will now proceed northward and absorbing the remains of outlaw
Tropical Storm Alpha. All of that, interacting with another disturbance over
the Northeast may cause several inches of snow from West Virginia into
Vermont and including Northern New York State. 7 inches or more in some
areas.

CLEANING OFF MY DESK: 93 in Indio, Calif., was the USA hot spot
Sunday...coldest this morning was 12 in Broken Bow, Nebraska. Now, that is a
real western name!...more than 5 inches of rain had already fallen before
daybreak in Orlando and 6 inches in Sarasota County...much more since that
time.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I had my alarm set for 4:30 this
morning and Little Miss Molly was sleeping at the foot of my bed. She
reacted with a long moan and groan. I slipped out the bedroom door but she
was right behind me...I took her out briefly and again just before sunrise
on out longer walk...the Old Crow Motel stood out sharp and clear
backdropped by the first hint of daybreak. Nice chill in the air...we both
love cold weather...sure am glad none of you can hear Molly and I talk on
our walks...this morning I was even singing to her, at times trying to sing
a little opera. When I did that, she looked back with a real puzzled look. I
sure wish I could get a transcript of Molly's little brain (can't be more
than quarter-sized) and see what she thinks of me. I am sure she thinks I am
crazy. But she is too so we make quite a pair. Besides, crazy people live 15
years longer...Molly was bubbling over when her human mommy got home from
the hospital this morning. Life goes on, through sunshine and hurricanes. We
love life!
