Sheldon Allison Day COMMUNITY WINTER WEATHER UPDATE: THE CITY STREETS WITHIN THE CITY OF THOMASVILLE ARE STILL CLOSED THIS MORNING. WE HAD WINDY CONDITIONS AND EXTREME COLD LAST NIGHT WHICH HELPED IN SOME WAYS BY DRYING SOME SNOW ON THE STREETS BUT THE LEFT OVER IS NOW ICE....SOME STREETS LOOK FINE BUT ANY ROUTE YOU WILL TAKE TO GET ANYWHERE WILL CAUSE YOU TO COME IN CONTACT WITH ICY/SNOWY PATCHES WHICH ARE DANGEROUS. IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY OR MUST TRY TO GO TO WORK USE EXTREME CAUTION........CALL AND TELL SOMEONE YOU ARE ON THE ROAD, TAKE EXTRA COLD WEATHER GEAR WITH YOU AND OTHER SUPPLIES IN THE CASE YOU GET STRANDED. MAKE SURE YOUR VEHICLE IS FULL OF GAS. TEMPORATURES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE ABOVE FREEZING FOR A SHORT FEW HOURS TODAY. WE HOPE WE WILL SEE MUCH OF THE ICE ON THE STREETS MELT AT THAT TIME. WE WILL WORK CONTINUALLY TODAY WITH THE CLARKE COUNTY EMA AND CLARKE COUNTY TO DETERMINE WHEN WE MAY BE ABLE TO FULLY OPEN ROADWAYS AGAIN. PLEASE STAY SAFE AND WARM TODAY.......CHECK ON YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.....AND WE WILL UPDATE AS SOON AS ANYTHING CHANGES.
