Weather forecasts are a tricky business, and winter weather can be some of the most difficult to predict. A thunderstorm forecast might be off by 30 miles and no one bats an eye, but a shift of 30 miles makes a huge difference in whether one sees snow, sleet, freezing rain or just plain ice. Much of the planning around those predictions must be fluid and subject to change.

At Alabama Power, we can’t wait until the last moment to suddenly “be ready.” Our customers count on us to be on the job the moment there is a need. That’s why we look at a number of factors and triggers, to appropriately scale our response.
