Habersham crews ready snowplows and salt for big freeze

In Clarksville and Habersham County, public works crews are deploying snow plows and trucks loaded with salt, sand, and brine as temperatures drop toward freezing. Officials warn that while light precipitation is beginning to fall, over-treating the roads now could cause life-saving materials to wash away before the dangerous "glaze" of ice sets in. The local Sheriff’s Office is making an urgent plea for residents to stay home to avoid creating additional emergencies that would delay critical medical and accident response times.
