Biggest surprise I remember was March 24, 1983 in Atlanta, when an ULL tracked across . Went to bed with forecast of moderate rain, and woke to 7.9" of snow (2nd heaviest in Atlanta)

Actually Tuscaloosa City Schools are on a two hour delay tomorrow. Tuscaloosa County Schools are on a three hour delay. I work for the county system and just got the notification.
I feel like this a things that just doesn't happen anymore.
This looks about 2-3 hours ahead of schedule vs model. 
I think the precip in AL is virga.

A lot of the schools around here are running on a two hour delay tomorrow morning and they have treated Highway 72 from here to the Mississippi state line. I’m guessing most of the major roads have been treated but I haven’t been out much.

My uncle is in Trussville, AL, and he said some of the stuff that's showing up on radar is actually falling right now. It's very light, but it's there.

[FROM ALDOT] Winter weather may create hazards
HUNTSVILLE — The Alabama Department of Transportation advises motorists to expect
snowfall early Monday that could result in accumulation around half an inch, primarily in parts of northwest and west-central Alabama.
While ALDOT is hard at work pretreating lanes of interstates and other primary highways in the areas forecasted to be affected, potentially hazardous conditions may exist on some roadways during and after the anticipated winter weather event. ALDOT will continue to monitor conditions and treat highways and bridges as needed during and after the event.
Motorists are encouraged to use extreme caution while driving, check road conditions before departing, allow for increased travel times, and adjust arrival and departure times accordingly.
Motorists needing information on road conditions in Alabama should look to local news media and visit ALGOtraffic.com or download the ALGO Traffic app available online in the Apple App Store and on Google Play, as well as following ALGOtraffic on Twitter.
Motorists should never text, tweet, or use a mobile device while operating a vehicle. Appropriate driving speeds are determined by the road conditions, which on wet or icy roads should be slower than the posted speed limit.
Motorists should slow down and move over if possible when
approaching ALDOT and other highway maintenance personnel and emergency vehicles at work.
Drivers should stay in lanes that have been treated or cleared, as attempting to pass in uncleared lanes may lead to crashes and blocked roadways.
The public is encouraged to check with their local county or municipality for conditions on county and local roadways. It’s also important to stay weather-aware by monitoring the news and the
National Weather Service in your area for the latest weather information.
