Alabama Gets Ready for First Frost of the Season

Alabama got its first real taste of sweater weather this week. Were you one of the folks wrestling with the dilemma of turning on the heat in October? Same here. I had a moment where I almost morphed into my mom, the queen of “Let me just click the heat on real quick to cut the chill.” It was a close call.

As showers and drizzle continue through the morning hours, giving way to drier conditions later, there is a chance of wind gusts reaching up to 25 mph. However, you might be turning on the heat because the first frost of the season is likely to arrive in many areas.
