Midnight…52
1am…54
2am…44 (10 degree drop in one hour)

…..a drop of 24 degrees since 1 am
…..our nicest flurry so far in NE Trussville at 10:30, however, at this rate, it would have to snow for 10 years to accumulate one foot.
…..Just walked my little dog for a half mile. That is the first time I can remember shivering since the Blizzard of 93 when I slipped and fell from my top step out front into a three-foot snow drift landing flat on my back. I created a crater and it looked like I was looking skyward from inside a volcano. I was lucky that my fireman son and another Center Point fireman were parked out front and they finally got me out. Next spring no dandelions, weeds or grass would grow where I hit. I was, in effect, a human WD-40!)
