The freezing weather holding North Georgia in its grip caused some trouble Friday morning in White County. Black ice formed in the cold air, contributing to two minor accidents, according to a news release from the White County Emergency Management Agency.
The accidents happened on Tesnatee Gap Valley Road and Asbury Mill. In both areas, temperatures were 32 degrees, but the rest of the county was at 37 degrees, says EMA Deputy Director Don Strength.
White County Schools operated on a regular schedule Friday, but Fannin County schools operated on a two-hour delay, and Union County students shifted to online learning.
A Wind Chill Advisory is in effect for much of north and central Georgia through the morning hours on Saturday. Wind chills from zero to 9 below zero are possible, forecasters say. A second Wind Chill Advisory is likely for much of the region overnight Saturday into Sunday morning as the dangerously cold conditions continue.
