On Wednesday at 9:39 a.m. the National Weather Service issued a special weather statement in effect until 1:45 p.m. The alert is for Inland Bryan, Coastal Bryan, Inland Chatham and Coastal Chatham as well as Jenkins, Screven, Candler, Bulloch, Effingham, Tattnall, Evans, Long, Liberty and McIntosh counties.
"Even though wintry precipitation has ended and sunshine has returned, temperatures today will only peak just above freezing so widespread significant melting is not anticipated. Area roadways, including interstates and highways, will likely remain snow and ice covered through the day. Hazardous travel conditions will persist on bridges and overpasses, primary and secondary roads, parking lots, sidewalks and driveways," says the NWS.
The NWS adds, "If you plan to drive or walk, remain alert for black ice. Slow your driving speed and use care when walking on sidewalks, driveways or parking lots. Slips and falls constitute a leading cause of injuries during winter weather."
