Driving from BHM to Tuscaloosa in snow?

<p>First, let me thank everyone on this wonderful board for so much more information and advice than I even thought was possible. </p>

<p>Our plane is scheduled for a 2:30pm arrival in Birmingham tomorrow. We have car rental reservations and planned on driving immediately to UA. We visited last year so I know the road is quite a straight, flat freeway but does anyone have experience with Alabama snow and how they handle road conditions? I’m hoping for the best but the forecast just keeps looking worse. I may seem lame but 20 years in Southern California have really done me in.</p>

<p>Funny thing, one of the first things my D wanted in a school location was weather; once again, Bama delivers!!</p>

<p>James Spann, the Alabama weather forecaster/icon, is not expecting difficult driving conditions but admits it is tricky to forecast. </p>

<p>Glad it looks like your D will get to see some snow! My D wanted to go to school somewhere snowy initially, so I think she will enjoy tomorrow as well. Hope you all have a great trip!</p>

<p>Take a look at the hour by hour forecast, looks like snow may end around one and then temps rise to about forty degrees

<p>Thanks for the replies. I’m sure it will be fine; I’m hoping for dry roads yet a beautifully snow-covered campus. I’m probably expecting too much!</p>
