This week the state will see warmer and wetter weather, but with ice still on roadways, some North Alabama schools are still holding class virtually today.
Also in some areas we've had water supplies run short and water-boil notices in effect because of busted pipes.
But teachers and plumbers aren't the only folks who've been scrambling the past week. AL.com's Warren Kulo reports that a Huntsville neurosurgeon has seen his office busy enough that he's put out a warning for folks who might seize the opportunity to go sledding in the snow.
Dr. Rhett Murray of the Spine & Neuro Center said he'd been on duty four days straight treating weather-related injuries -- and most of them have involved sledding. He said he's seen a fractured neck and several head injuries.
He said several other injuries involved ATVs, one where an ATV was pulling a kayak and the kayak hit a tree.
His wife, Melanie Hammer Murray, posted that one person sledded into a parked car face-first and left a nose bone on the ground.
Ouch.
Dr. Murray said that if you ever decide to go sledding, always inspect your path, wear a helmet and go feet first.
