77 degrees on the bank clock in town a little while ago, 42 by noon tomorrow... weatherman predicting strong storms, powerful straight line winds and isolated tornadoes starting about 5pm, oh goody! Typical December in Alabama.
52/67. Expecting some rain later today. Gusty at times.
We are getting our first real Winter storm. I think they are predicting from 2" to 8" depending on where you live. Temps are in the 20's. Supposed to clear tomorrow.
2152hrs... The tornado weather passed me by... just heavy rains and winds here. 2 fatalities north of me up in Lawrence county (Bama/TN state line).
There has been a tornado on the ground for the past 1.5 hours south of me, no reports on damage or fatalities for those folks yet, fingers crossed.
Edit at 2302hrs... Western edge of the state has been cleared of all watches and warnings by the NWS... Just guessing... front will get to Timmie between 2 and 4am... Fingers crossed...

It was a very interesting evening. Mom and I were safe, though she drove me mad as she did not want to leave home and go to a safer place. Fortunately, we only had a bit of straight line strong winds for a few minutes. We did have carport blow into some electrical lines, and a house had a tree fall down in the middle of it causing damage. I'm not sure what all over in Decatur AL.
Thanks for thinking of me.
High of 57 today, just after midnight, Low will be lower 30's again at midnight. Had .75" of rain in this mornings reading.
A light drizzle started about 3pm. Predicted to continue until tomorrow when heavier rains roll in. Temps mild, mid 40's.

Rain, rain, and more rain!
40's/50's here, started light rain about noon.
It's been drizzling rain since last night, off and on. I'm under a tornado watch at the moment. The storms are coming out of the southwest, the most dangerous kind, produce the biggest, longest lasting tornadoes. So my evening is up in the air. I'll keep ya'll posted.
Added up my year end rain totals for 2019. The yearly average is 52 inches. I started keeping records last Apr. Since then I got 44.112 inches. A good year with plenty of rain, just at the wrong times for the garden...
I got mine totaled today. We had 69.53" for 2019. Normal average for here is around 50" or so. Bad thing is we had 2-3 pretty long stretches with no rain. Feburary had 13.64", our wettest of the year.
I decided today to build a spreadsheet and keep more available data for the year.
