But there were still massive amounts of people stranded on I20/Pell City and 65S Bound. Just seems like there would have been some benefit to redirecting traffic in those areas in a effort to get people home and clear the roads

The question I have is at 8:50 I looked out our window on campus and saw snow sticking on the roads and started telling people we needed to get out. I'm no meteorologist but at 9am it was clear Tuscaloosa was going to be iced over by lunch and it took them two hours to cancel school/work and release all commuter traffic at the same time.
Shouldn't some meteorologist have caught this around 4-6 am the storm didn't just jump 70 miles north at 9 am. The first wreck due to icy conditions I heard about happened before 10 am so I went ahead and left for the day. What a difference an hour can make in that situation.
