As the winter storm impacts Georgia, officials, including Governor Brian Kemp, held a press conference addressing preparations and responses to the hazardous weather. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) reported deteriorating road conditions statewide, with over 150 road incidents reported early. Governor Kemp urged residents to stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary, emphasizing public safety. ‘We are asking people to heed the warnings and avoid any unnecessary travel during this storm,’ he stated. GDOT crews are actively working to clear roads, but icy conditions are proving challenging. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning, predicting significant ice accumulation in North Georgia. Atlanta’s roads have been particularly affected, with reports of black ice making travel perilous. GDOT is encouraging the use of its 511 app for real-time road conditions.
