Snow fell across the Birmingham area early Friday morning, making roadways dangerous, with officials urging residents to avoid travel if possible. The National Weather Service in Birmingham reports the winter storm dropped 2 inches of snow and sleet at its office.

By mid-morning, the precipitation changed to rain in Birmingham. The warmer air should create improving conditions but officials warn driving could still be dangerous. Ice could reform as temperatures fall this evening.

Many schools closed in advance of the winter weather giving children the chance to revel in the snow.
