- 01/09/11 03:11 PM
Gwinnett County canceled school tomorrow. Governor Sonny Purdue, in what is most likely his last act as governor, declared a state of emergency.
I was out earlier this evening around 9:00 p.m. in Snellville. 124 was totally covered in just about 30 minutes of snow fall. In the 2 minutes it took to return a movie and go back to my car, the car was covered.
Driving is very dangerous now. The downtown connector has an overturned truck. The DOT put a mix of salt and gravel down on the roads prior to the snow to avoid icing over.
It appears … (0 comments)
