11 inches of snow in south Alabama? See statewide snowfall totals from historic winter storm

The National Weather Service had warned about a “significant” and “historic” snowstorm for south Alabama on Tuesday, and forecasters were right.

Parts of south Alabama got record-setting amounts of snow on Tuesday.

So did the other Gulf Coast states.

Mobile got 7.5 inches on Tuesday, which shattered its all-time record for snow, which had stood since 1895.

But that wasn’t the most. Other spots in south Alabama had 10 or more inches of snow, according to reports given to the weather service.

Mobile experienced several inches of snowfall on Jan. 21, 2025. — Rare south Alabama snow Jan. 21, 2025

Former Alabama OL starter transferring to SEC rival

Former Alabama OL starter transferring to SEC rival

Alabama football will see one of its ex-starters next season. Wilkin Formby is joining Texas A&M out of the transfer portal, after three seasons with the Crimson Tide.

Formby shared the news to his Instagram account on Wednesday. He opted to enter the transfer portal after the 2025 season came to an end with a 38-3 loss to Indiana in the Rose Bowl.

The Tuscaloosa native and Northridge product played both guard and tackle this past season. Coaches praised his versatility.

“Wilkin obviously has the athleticism to to play inside, and the size,” offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb said in September. “So I think there’s a couple things that happen for Wilkin in there, his natural pad-level because he’s got his hand in the dirt, and he’s got a good base and wide frame, so he’d done a really nice job in there. So we keep working on that and expand. As long as he can stay right-handed, playing on the right side, I think the transition for him is easy.”

Formby started out the year at right tackle, where he had previously played. He eventually moved over to guard, after Michael Carroll emerged as a viable tackle option.

The departure of Formby is part of a larger renovation of the Crimson Tide’s offensive line, which has now lost every starter besides Carroll. Kadyn Proctor and Parker Brailsford opted to leave early for the NFL Draft, while Geno VanDeMark, Kam Dewberry and Jaeden Roberts are out of eligibility.

Alabama is also losing several reserve linemen to the portal. Arkel Anugwom is entering, joining Olaus Alinen (who committed to Kentucky), Joseph Ionata and Micah DeBose.

UA has made one offensive line pickup from the portal. Former Michigan center Kaden Strayhorn is joining the Tide.

Alabama will face Formby in Tuscaloosa this season. Texas A&M visits Bryant-Denny Stadium on Oct. 24.

Undergraduate players can opt to enter the transfer portal through Jan. 16.

Prediction, odds for Alabama vs. Vanderbilt in Top 15 SEC showdown

After an impressive home win over Kentucky this past Saturday afternoon, the SEC road opener has now arrived for the Alabama Crimson Tide, which is a trip to Nashville to face the unbeaten Vanderbilt Commodores on Wednesday night.

Two teams ranked in the Top 15 nationally in the latest USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll, Alabama and Vanderbilt have emerged as two of the SEC’s top teams this season, and are also both currently among the top scoring teams in all of college basketball.

Both of Alabama and Vanderbilt are also loaded with talent as well, headlined by a talented group of guards such as Labaron Philon Jr. and Aden Holloway for the Crimson Tide, as well as the Commodores duo of Duke Miles and Tyler Tanner.

Memorial Gymnasium can be a difficult place to play for a road team at times, and it will likely be challenging for the Crimson Tide on Wednesday night, especially with the undefeated Commodores on the opposite end of the floor.
