Just what I did and look at the hour by hour for cast for Jackson's Gap and see that the only period of winter mix is midnight til 2am Saturday and only 30% chance then.  The modeling also showed it starting in the north and working southward with Alex City being the very edge of the accumulation line, but it can't accumulate until it falls, which once again is not expected to well into the overnight period. I have seen basically the same for cast from a couple of different sources over the last two days. I haven't looked since mid afternoon however so if it has changed drastically then just consider me an idiot and love on.  But let me point out the decision to close was made before lunch when no detailed local forecast was calling for anything but rain and Temps well above freezing all day long. It's so easy to hide ill informed and poor decision making when one can claim it about the safety of "the children". Bullsh!t . it's about any excuse to not have to work by gubmit union employees. If the "danger"  starts at 6am as per your post why wouldn't you cancel the entire day? Because you only get the state per drum if you keep the children past 11, that's why!  So got any more questions?
