Winter weather update

The weather is a top concern after weekend snow and ice. Governor Riley declared a state of emergency yesterday and urged folks not to travel. Many schools are closed today (inlcuding Albertville, Boaz, and Guntersville), and even several government offices. The Alabama Department of Public Safety has officers working 12-hour shifts to assist motorists who insist on traveling. State troopers and the Alabama Department of Transportation are monitoring road and bridge conditions and are prepared to close them if it becomes necessary. The statewide emergency call center is 888-588-2848.

Albertville city council has cancelled today's work session. City Hall is also closed today due to the weather. All DeKalb County offices are closed today. The Etowah County Courthouse is also closed today.
