Lavinia Nixon, 1417 Duncan From Wire Reports A thin coating of ice covered windshields of exposed vehicles in Alabama this morning a result of the wet weekend and accompanying chilly temperatures. The clouds which brought rain and some snow to Alabama this weekend were expected to limit viewing of the solar eclipse today. But the Calhoun County forecast called for clearing skies by late this afternoon with clear and cdld weather tonight. Sunny, warmer -weather is predicted for Tuesday. The low tonight be in the mid 20s and the high Tuesday in the mid Statewide, skies should be fair to partly cloudy Wednesday and Thursday.

Thursday's forecast calls for a chance of rain. Lows Wednesday and Thursday should be in the 30s in the extreme north and 40s elsewhere with highs in the 50s north and 60s south. The rain, winds and high water that plagued the state over the weekend have been blamed for injuring at least five persons and forcing evacuation of several dozen others from their homes. The brutal weather was part of a nationwide pattern. A fierce snowstorm struck the winter-weary Midwest and moved eastward today, and heavy rains pushed streams and rivers to flood stage from North Carolina through New At least six deaths were I blamed on the storms, Evacuations were under way in Maryland and Virginia, and rescue crews were on alert all along the Atlantic Coast.

In Alabama, relentless winds struck a house trailer in the Athens area of Limestone County Saturday night. One of the occupants, Minnie Adams, later was hospitalized with injuries. In nearby Huntsviile, several dozen persons were evacuated from low-lying areas because of flooding as rain mixed with snow fell Sunday over much of north Alabama. Sunday's cold weather was a contrast to Saturday's temperatures, which climbed into the 70s before tornado warnings sounded Saturday night. Weather officials reported flooding in the Brogland Creek and Pin Hook Creek areas about 10:30 p.m.

Saturday night, where two to four inches of rain had fallen in the previous three hours: Apartments, a trailer court and single-family homes were caught in the flood area, and the Red Cross said 35 persons were at its shelter Saturday night. Snow flurries came to northern Alabama counties Sunday, but little if any snow accumulations occurred overnight. Tornado warnings were in effect for most of north Alabama until 1 a.m. Sunday. Two possible tornadoes passed over Lamar, Marion and Fayette counties, packing winds of 60 mph and accompanied by blinding rains.

Elsewhere, evacuations occurred in central Virginia where rivers rose to flood stages. A Richmond, man drowned Saturday when he tried to jump from the roof of a car trapped in the raging waters of Gillie Creek. Some residents were evacuated from Greensboro, and the Allegheny River flooded the business district of Oil City in northwestern Pennsylvania, leaving stores and restaurants under four feet of water. The weekend snowstorm battered parts of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Arkansas. Hardest hit was southeastern Missouri where up to two feet of snow, swirled by 50-mph winds, stranded hundreds of motorists and knocked out electric power.

Gov. Joseph Teasdale called out 250 National Guardsmen to patrol the area. Motorists on U.S. 71 in Arkansas were stranded amid three feet of snow, and 1-24 and 1-57 in southern Illinois and Indiana were closed under 20 inches of snow with drifts of up to five feet.

In Missoula, eclipsewatehers had only a 10 percent chance of seeing anything but low-flying birds.

It was better to the west. Weather forecasters gave people at Lewistown, the best chance of seeing the total eclipse. Viewers in Goldendale and Yakima, were first given a 30 percent chance, but forecasters later improved that to 50 percent when satellite photos showed the cloud cover shifting eastward. "That's a little better than it looked like earlier," said a National Weather Service spokesman late Sunday. As a Pacific front pushed the clouds in from the coast, observers aloft were the only eclipse-chasers with a guaranteed chance to see what they came for.

Among groups chartering planes, the Seattle Science Center offered an unobstructed view plus a champagne brunch 35,000 feet above the Columbia River gorge. The ride on a chartered Alaska Airlines 727 jetliner cost $115 to $135 a person.

Despite the overcast, thousands of travelers from around the country mobbed small towns of the Pacific Northwest and northern Great Plains in a replay of the solar mania that seems to grip humans when the moon blocks the view of the mti. Ira Schneider, 46, of New York City led a group of 75 amateur astronomers to Lewis-town.

He went to South American last year for a total eclipse in Colombia, but he was foiled by clouds. Still his mood was upbeat. -'There is a festive air about the whole occasion," Schneider said, as Lewistown's 8,000 residents girded for an expected 4,000 visitors. "People are very elated and excited even if they are usually conservative and scientific." School authorities in Yakima, and Butte, ordered schools to open an hour early so children would be in class and not staring at the eclipse, possibly damaging their eyes. Pendleton, school officials urged parents to keep children home until after the eclipse.

During the last total eclipse visible in the United States on March 7, 1970 121 people suffered permanent eye damage from looking directly at the sun. Although the eclipse attracted throngs of amateurs, none of America's major solar observatories sent a scientific expedition. Dr. John Eddy, a solar physicist at the high altitude observatory in Boulder, laid the blame on Skylab, which was launched in 1973. He said the space vehicle's hundreds of instruments and space-scanning electronic eyes had unwrapped the mysteries of the solar eclipse.

"Skylab killed Christmas as far as solar astronomers going on expeditions is concerned," Eddy said. regular menu price and get your second pizza next smaller size with equal number 1 1 mum iM -tttJf ImmmmI ingredients, up to three ingredients, free.
