=================================================

A STATEWIDE SOAKING: It appears that every square mile of Alabama
received rain during the last 24 to 36 hours. In many communities, it
was not just a light rain. Instead, it was very beneficial. However,
we must point that a number of other communities did not get a great
amount of rain, but every little bit helps. It was good to see that
Anniston Airport received over 1 inch of rain, because they have been
carrying one of the largest shortages in rain for the calendar year
2007. We have posted a long list of rain amounts on the 33/40 Weather
Blog, so please go there. We do want to mention some of these more
significant amounts.

3.04 at Fairhope
3.77 Robertsdale
3.78 Dauphin Island
3.30 Mobile Regional Airport
1.35 Collinsville
1.42 Ft. Payne
1.57 Scrougeout (NE Etowah County)

Numerous other communities received between ½ and 1 inch. The state
did get by without any reported severe weather and we should be headed
for several dry days in a row. Clouds are going to hang tough for much
of tonight, but we expect mostly sunshine starting tomorrow. There
will be a temporary increase in clouds Thursday as another cold front
moves in from the NW. It should mostly be dry. We do not foresee any
bitter cold temperatures for the next 5 to 7 days.

THE WORLD OF WEATHER: The national snow survey early today showed
that 23% of the lower 48 states had a snow cover. In the last day or
so, 8 inches of new snow fell at Alpine in SW Texas and 5 inches north
of Ft. Davis. There were 200 inches on the ground at Scotch Creek,
California and 164 inches Mule Creek, Montana. Those are two high
altitude automated snow measuring stations to keep track of the
western snow pack.

MY TINY CORNER OF THE WORLD: I often get e-mails from people who love
the Little Miss Molly stories and My Tiny Corner of the World. I
appreciate them all. Sometimes they are messages dealing with sadness,
because someone has lost their little animal that is almost like
losing a family member. A few weeks ago, a good friend in Oneonta had
to put down their dog. In almost every case, after a period of time,
getting a new dog will greatly ease the pain, but not totally make it
go away. I am so thankful that Little Miss Molly is in good health.
She sure has not slowed down any. On one of our recent walks, she was
bouncing up and down in a mantle of leaves that had fallen from the
sassafras tree. That is one of our favorite stops along the walking
trail. Life goes on and it is precious.......
