Yeah, it's just a "practice" storm. Just enough to get people to top-off their generator gas supply that has been running the lawnmower for months:rolleyes:.

"A museum housing a collection of classic cars valued at $6 million, including a Lincoln once owned by Elvis Presley, was also heavily damaged by the winds in Tupelo.
Olga has dissipated but remnants are pushing north into Tennessee," Moore said.
On Saturday evening, the Tennessee Highway Patrol said strong winds caused about seven semi-trailer trucks to overturn on Interstate 40 in western Tennessee. The highway was closed for a few hours before reopening.
More than 46,000 customers remained without power in Mississippi, while 40,000 outages were reported in Tennessee.
 
Weather man was wrong yesterday, said rains would start just after lunch. They started at midnight last night. I got a couple of small showers then nothing.

It started again about 6 this morning. I've gotten 3 inches since then... Still coming down.

This is the closest I get to fall colors this far south, a couple of maples...

Bottom left 2nd photo on a pressure treated wooden stand... my NWS approved rain gauge recommended by @Bacpacker It will measure down to 1/100 of an inch. I like measuring to that precision.

I just heard and edited my post. Morning temp was 3 degrees. I think the high today was 18 degrees. Really unusual for October, but I think we are going to have a long cold winter.

I took a dog to the dog park this morning. It was still snowing a little, and it was a little chilly, but layers help. (Two pairs of pants and multiple shirts.) I also have some wonderful wool blend socks from Costco, around $18 for 6 pair. One pair of those socks in my Boggs boots. Then a warm jacket, a neck scarf, gloves and a hat. Dogs had so much energy and fun today. They all needed to get out and their humans as well. Took two more dogs out for a walk at 1:00. It was 11 degrees, but the sun was out and snow is melting. Took another dog to a dog park this afternoon, and again, so much energy and fun. It was cold out, but I was warm.
 
We've had over an inch since 6 am this morning. More to come tonight. I read my gauge at 6 when I leave for work. Our high today was at midnight for 71. Lows in the 60's tonight. Temps dropping all day tomorrow to a low near freezing by sunrise Friday. Bouts of heavy rain tomorrow morning and afternoon. Maybe another 2" from that round.

Peanut, glad to see you got a rain gauge. I haven't found a better one yet for the money.
Have you signed up to report you precip totals with CoCoRahs?
