In North Georgia, state and county crews are trying to clear the snow, but many roads are still untouched, officials said.
Much of Walker County was blanketed in eight inches of snow with as much as 12 inches on Lookout Mountain, according to county Public Works Director David Ashburn.
The county dispatched 13 snow plows, but two of them slipped into ditches before clearing snow on Nickajack Road and Lake Howard Road, he said.
“We’re plowing the snow but it’s just leaving a layer of ice underneath,” Ashburn said.
Even Highway 27, which has gotten the most attention from snow trucks, still had plenty of ice about 11:30 a.m., Ashburn said.
