[quote:Bluebird:MV8yNDcwODMzXzQyNTY3MDM4X0QyRTlFNTI4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 52785603:MV8yNDcwODMzXzQyNTY2OTA2X0E5MTFDNzA2] [quote:Revbo™:MV8yNDcwODMzXzQyNTU5MjczXzg1QUMyMDI5] I was just wondering when someone was gonna put something up about the Great Blizzard of 2014. It wasn't so much the weather that was the problem. It was the forecast. NWS really screwed the pooch on this one, and kids all across central Alabama had to spend the night at school. Took me 2 hours to drive 4 miles home from the office yesterday, and I thought we might have to get out and walk at one point. Still, hell of a lot better than all those folks who had to sleep in their cars. Everybody okay at your house, BB? [/quote] Not they didn't. My Alabama route employee called me first thing Monday AM to let me know he wasn't working until Friday because of the weather forecast - he didn't want to be out on the roads. He knew. Anyone who got stuck is an idiot.

So far, five people have been killed as a result of the storm, the report said, although no casualties have yet been reported for Jefferson or Shelby counties
The Situation Report's estimates may initially be low.

Just so you know this was nothing to laugh about. At least by the weekend, the ice and snow will all be gone as warming is on the way if only for a couple of days.
