There are some major traffic problems on almost all major highways entering and leaving the Birmingham area this morning! Temperatures in the upper 20s and lower 30s have caused water on roads and bridges to begin freezing, and we will not likely see these problems clear up completely until after 7:30 to 8:00 AM this morning.
Just some reminders on how to deal with ice on the road:
*If the road looks wet, it may be icy, so drive slowly and carefully without making sudden moves
*If you go into a skid, steer into the direction of the skid
*Leave more than 2 car links between you and the vehicle ahead of you for more stopping time
*And finally, delay travel until after 7:30 this morning if at all possible
