Dahlonega braces for deep freeze as slush turns to ice
In Lumpkin County, FOX 5's Tyler Fingert reports from a deceptively calm Dahlonega where temperatures have temporarily warmed, leading to a significant afternoon thaw. While major thoroughfares like State Route 400 are currently clear, officials warn that a "deep freeze" in the mid-20s tonight will turn existing slush and puddles into treacherous black ice. Approximately 50 utility crews are currently staged at the Dahlonega Walmart, prepared to respond as the weight of remaining ice on large trees threatens to cause a spike in power outages overnight.

Gainesville roads clear following proactive brine treatment
In Gainesville, FOX 5's Tara Jabour reports that while freezing rain turned to cold rain earlier in the evening, the city's main thoroughfares, like Jesse Jewell Parkway, are remarkably clear. Hall County crews have been working non-stop, deploying plows and proactively treating roads with salt, brine, and slush removal to prevent a deep freeze as temperatures drop overnight. Interestingly, many utility poles are starting to thaw and drip, though a thick "clear coating of ice" still remains on many trees and bushes in the area. Despite the conditions, many residents with 4-wheel drive vehicles were seen running errands, expressing gratitude for the nearly week-long advanced warning that allowed them to prepare.
