Some fresh notes updated at 9:25 PM
.....Jon Pace, News Director for WTDR-FM, Anniston/Oxford, reports big wet snowflakes along the Talladega-Clay County line in East Central Alabama at 8:50 PM. He was driving through the area and reported by cell phone. The big wet flakes continued for about 10 miles into Clay County toward Ashland. There were no signs that the snow was sticking even to the grassy areas at the time.
.....The 9 PM temperarture atop Mt. Cheaha was still 32--unchanged during the last hour so I feel sure there are some big wet flakes on Alabama's highest point also.
.....In NE Alabama it has dropped to 33 degrees in Mentone at an elevation of 1765 feet. Mentone, of course, is on Lookout Mountain in Dekalb County near Desoto State Park.
.....Overall, the precipitation is diminishing and becoming more patchy.
.....Just took my little dog on a half-mile walk and here in Trussville it is a mix of a cold light rain and drizzle. Used my flashlight beam to hunt for snowflakes. There were none. The rain has been steady for several hours and the rain total here so far is 0.19 of an inch.
.....Snow rumors are rampant. At church tonight, a record number of people asked me if it was going to snow. I almost began answering "no" like the guy in the Capitol One commercial.
