Alabama is currently facing significant winter weather, including snow and ice accumulation that has made many roads impassable, especially in North Alabama. The Emergency Management Agency (EMA) has warned residents that every road is a risk due to hazardous conditions. A state of emergency has been declared for 37 counties, including Chambers, Lee, and Macon, as officials urge drivers to consider all bridges as potentially impassable. While Birmingham airport continues normal operations, many local authorities, including the Huntsville City Hall, are closing and advising non-essential personnel to stay home. Preparations are in place as the Alabama National Guard mobilizes troops for weather response efforts. Residents are urged to exercise extreme caution and stay updated with local forecasts as wintry mix transitions to colder rain throughout the day.
