According to our teams that are out treating streets, Sandy Springs roadways are drying due to the windy conditions. But if you have to be out and about, watch out for black ice, particularly in shady areas.
Patchy black ice will be possible during the overnight hours and into Friday Morning, with below freezing temperatures and residual moisture on the roadways. Black ice is most likely on local roads, bridges, and overpasses. Please use extra caution if you have to travel.⚠️🚗🧊
