Choose either word.

Have been involved in weather what seems like a century and this is one of the most evenly-distributed soakings for Alabama in a long time. We can give a money-back guarantee along with S&H Green Stamps that the following will not occur anywhere in our 67 counties today:

1. Forest fires
2. Blowing dust

You are too young to remember S&H Green Stamps. Also, we could make this rainfall list very long. Because there is so much going on with the blog today, here is a short list of 24 hour rainfall with typical amounts from all sections of the state:

1.13 inches in Decatur
1.58 in Blountsville
1.17 at Birmingham Airport
1.05 at Montgomery Dannelly Field
1.52 at Mobile Regional Airport
1.22 in North Auburn
1.16 at Logan Martin Dam
0.92 at Anniston
1.08 at DeSoto State Park
1.02 in Haleyville and Jasper
1.22 at Holt (east edge of Tuscaloosa)

A COLD RAINY DAY
I love a cold all-day rain. Yesterday would have been an excellent day to be holed up in DeSoto State Park where the low was 39, the high only 44 with, 1.08 inches of rain.
