On the 12th day of Christmas, my true love gave to Birmingham…. the Epiphany winter storm of 2017.

2017’s first winter storm finally arrived late in the afternoon and early evening after school officials closed schools for the entire day, Epiphany services were cancelled, and most of Birmingham’s Friday night entertainment areas were shuttered.

The good news. This particular storm was perfect for sledding and snow angels.

Be safe out there. Many of the roads, especially the side streets have not melted today. And many thanks to Bham Now readers who sent us some photos and video from the first snow storm of 2017.

Enjoy their pics!
