Habersham County Road Superintendent John Stamey says if you don’t have to drive this morning, don’t. He says of the roads, “They’re still pretty bad. We’ve got a lot of them bladed off. It seems like its starting to come off good but there are still icy spots.”
Stamey says 19 workers are running five snowplows and three graders on county roads to try to clear them. “Lots of miles to get,” Stamey says. “We’re working on the south end of the county and have most of the through roads done, but won’t get a lot of the side roads bladed until later today.”
Stamey says all four lanes are “pretty clean” and most main roads but watch out for secondary roads.
There are reports of trees on power lines; one is on Cody Road near the movie theater the other near Orchard Road in Turnerville. Road crews are waiting on the power company before removing them.
Stamey advises drivers to stay off the roads if at all possible. “If you don’t have to go, try to wait until at least up toward noon, but if you have to travel or have somewhere you have to go give yourself extra time to get there.”
