Sorry for the technical title of this post, in advance.
Weather to the north of us, weather to the south, we're in the clear zone again (with more apologies for song copywrite abuse).
While we may get some clouds zipping by with an occasional bit of rain, right now it seems the weather gods are intent on breezy days and fairly clear nights as well for a while. Enjoy!

send the rain our way!!!! Even though the guide book is behind me and at the printers (after going pretty well 24/7 for the last 3 days of getting it done) and I would like to do what other normal people do on this island, like snorkel, beach walk, photography and seeing friends I haven't yet seen, and would like it to be sunny, the plants and earth need rain -- really badly -- it's getting to be a dangerous time of the year, and made even worse by the drought.
not to mention, a rainy day in the hammock next to the palm fronds would work for me too....

Let's all pray Debbie AND we get rain --- my posting early seems ironic after the day's events.....but I really do fear what the future will hold if we don't get rain -- it did sprinkle up here on the hill today, but not enough to do any good, and enough to mess with my tanning time.
Hillman -- I've just sent a PM with my phone # if help is needed.

Yes, it has been snowing here all day. I got up around 8 am and it was misting rain. I went to the grocery around 9:15 and it started sleeting on the way home. Then, wet snow until about 4pm. The ground must be quite warm still - we got about a 2-3 inch accumulation, but it's already melting off. Areas to the south of Atlanta got more snow than the northern part.

LOL.....you made headline news.....be sure to read the last paragraph and quit your complainin' and don't drive today except to pick up Mr. Mac if he makes it.
Caution urged on icy Southern roads
By DANIEL YEE, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 15 minutes ago
ATLANTA - Meteorologists warned the mixture of rain and snow that fell across the South a day earlier could make for icy roads early Sunday, with overnight temperatures in the upper teens and low 20s.
On Saturday, snow, rain and sleet spread across parts of the region, dusting lawns and shrubs with flakes and leading airlines to cancel several hundred flights.
"We're really stressing people should, especially in the north metro area, stay off roads as much as possible," said Laura Griffith of the weather service office in Peachtree City outside Atlanta.
The weather service posted freeze watches for Sunday morning in parts of Louisiana, including the New Orleans area. New Orleans put its freeze plan into effect to provide temporary shelter for the homeless for Saturday and Sunday nights.
Enough snow fell in Montgomery, Ala., for children to make snowballs to toss in front of the state Capitol, although the snow melted on contact with pavement.
Eleven-year-old Khryshanna Taylor saw snow for the first time Saturday in Montgomery and was unimpressed. "I have decided that I don't like snow!" she said as she hurried home after a brief attempt at a snowball fight.
Snow also fell as far south as southwestern Mississippi, with totals of as much as 3 inches, although the ground was too warm to allow it to accumulate. It was that area's first snowfall since 2001, the National Weather Service said.
All five runways at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport were reported open, but an automated Internet report from the Federal Aviation Administration said some flights bound for the airport were delayed by more than four hours.
Delta Air Lines Inc. had about 280 flight cancellations Saturday, spokeswoman Betsy Talton said. AirTran Airways spokesman Tad Hutcheson said 78 flights were canceled by afternoon and more cancellations were expected.
"We do have flights but with delays due to deicing, customers need to bring patience with them," Hutcheson said in a statement.
The last time snow fell at Leander, La., 30 miles west of Alexandria, was three or four years ago, "but right now it's coming down," said resident Zelle Nichols, 78. She said her outdoor thermometer read 32 degrees at 7:35 a.m.
As much as 5 inches of snow fell in Alabama. The state's last major winter storm dropped 16 inches in March 1993.
Two tornadoes touched down along Florida's west coast late Saturday afternoon, the weather service said. There were no reports of injuries.
While the snow and cold were relatively rare occurrences for Southerners, people in northern states like to think they are accustomed to winter weather.
Although Saturday's highs were below zero in most of Minnesota, nearly 100 people ran in the Frozen 5K at Spicer, Minn., and about 75 people clad only in swimsuits dove into northern Minnesota's Lake Bemidji while the air temperature was 15 below zero.

It's such a joke. Our local stations live for storms so that they can take over the airwaves and "report" on the event. The wind came blowing in late yesterday and blew all the water off the roads, and everything is clear, but they still want to scare the crap out of everyone, and keep people from going to church today -- when that's really unnecessary.
Lewis just did land - about 9:00 am - and is making his way home. Only 18 hours late!
