Snow Causes Dangerous Conditions, Traffic Disruptions Across Southern Georgia

Motorists across several regions in the southeastern U.S. are facing hazardous driving conditions due to recent snowfall and freezing temperatures. In Georgia, counties like Spalding, Henry, and Clayton experienced unexpected snowfall, leading to slick roads and multiple accidents, prompting local emergency management to set up warming centers and prepare for regional assistance. Drivers reported surprise at the three inches of snow, which is atypical for the area, and expressed caution when navigating the icy roads. Meanwhile, in South Carolina, US 401 is also dealing with layers of snow and ice, making travel difficult. In Shaunavon, Saskatchewan, Canada, snow drifts have reduced traffic to a single lane on Highway 37, with authorities advising against travel until conditions improve. The Highway Hotline and other local sources are providing updates on road conditions and safety warnings.
