Snow deja vu? Winter storm watch in effect starting Wednesday

Last Thursday’s sleet, ice and snowfall took many people across the state by surprise, causing schools and businesses to close early, creating hours of gridlock on the roadways and hazardous driving conditions that led to more than 100 accidents and three fatal wrecks. Alabamians in the north part of the state may see much of the same less than a week later.

The national weather service in Birmingham has issued a winter storm watch in effect from Wednesday afternoon through early Thursday morning for the following counties:
