You make some good points.

Here is the report they are woking with...I served on a school board in New Jersey and school cosings are never an easy decision. If you close on a report and no bad weather, you are stupid. If you don't close and accdents occur with the buses, you are stupid. We used to pray that the snow fell at night so we could decide before school opened.

Winter weather impacts possible for Central Alabama Friday and Friday night.

A strong cold front is expected to dive southward early Friday morning bringing temperatures in the upper 20s to lower 30s to portions of central Alabama. At nearly the same time. A weak Gulf system will form spreading moisture northward on Friday morning through early Saturday. Snow, sleet, and freezing rain accumulations are likely in the warning and advisory areas. Please stay tuned to local media partners for adjustments to the forecast as this event gets closer. Significant impacts are likely.

Winter Storm Warning in effect from 6 AM Friday to 9 AM CST Saturday.

The National Weather Service in Birmingham has issued a Winter Storm Warning for snow and sleet, which is in effect from 6 AM Friday to 9 AM CST Saturday.

Event: A storm system is expected to develop with potential Winter Weather impacts.
Timing: Friday morning through Saturday morning.
Location: largest impacts from a mix of wintry precipitation will be possible south of I-20 and east of I-65.
Accumulations: ranging from near 2 to 3 inches of snow and sleet accumulation south of I-20 and east of I-65. Impacts could be significant.

Recommended actions

A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow. Sleet, and ice are expected or occurring. Strong winds are also possible. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.

If you were in charge, what would you do?
