    I'm working in Tuscaloosa today and am trying to get out by lunch, but it's looking like I won't be able to leave until closer to 2. I'm hoping that with schools closed and a decent number of people not going to work today, the interstate won't be the parking lot it was in '14.

    On another note, are any you bham bammers going to the game tomorrow night?

    I doubt it. Roads are plenty warm to make it slushy immediately. The problem is going to be the refreeze overnight.

    So are we really going to get snow or are we going to get some light rain and then straight ice for the rest of the night.

    I'm in Tuscaloosa and it's starting to come down pretty good. Also, it was melting on the road, but now it's frozen in most spots. Yay.
    That could be pretty sketchy.

    I know it's probably not over yet, but what a gigantic disappointment so far. I hate James Spann with a passion, so I love it when he looks completely stupid, so there's that to help me rebound. This wrestling episode of The Bachelor from last night is fanfuckingtastic. Snow or not, I'm enjoying this.

    He's just so goofy about shit. His smugness annoys me. I love smugness when you're really good at what you do, but he's just so awful and looks like a jackass all the time.

    Looks like we might get a little more from 6:00 - 7:00. Won't get above 30 tomorrow. Everyone think the roads will still be fucked tomorrow?

    This forecast ate shit and died. Fucking cold front gobbled up the wet air before it got here.

    There is always February and March when the Gulf air is warmer, and we've had a few similar patterns in the past couple of months so who knows

    I don't think the roads will be bad at all. There's small patches of ice in places, but nothing problematic if you don't drive like an idiot.

    Most of the roads are dusted with snow around me. Going to be pretty bad when it all freezes.

    Yeah, I was just coming to post this. I just walked out in the street and the road has a lot of water on it in place and then there's some areas with solid snow cover. When those warm spots freeze, it's going to be bad in places.

    Streets seem mostly in good shape. I just drove down Rocky Ridge Rd from Wisteria to Tanglewood and then back to Lorna and 150. All of the water I saw earlier was mostly evaporated and the roads weren't slick or icy at all. Obviously, that's just a small sampling, but I don't think it's going to be bad.
