Rain, Rain and More Rain

Yesterday the Tampa Bay area experienced a full day rain event with some areas up to 3 inches of the wet stuff, at least it wasn't the white stuff like some rare areas for snow like Texas and Alabama! Unfortunatly I was out driving in it but did my errands and made it home safely. The last of it blew thru this morning leaving the cold dry air behind, it got up to 61 earlier but is down to 59 and some areas will be in the 40's and even 30's in the northern counties tonight. I will be home nice and cozy in front of my Christmas tree for the duration of the weekend. We really needed the rain as this is our dry season but a full day of rain, we are not used to around here. Usually when the fronts come down, it is a quick short rain followed by the cold air but yesterday was a combination of things that gave us the full day of it.
