Gwinnett County issued a statement detailing its response to the severe weather. The County outlined steps taken to address the snow and ice while prioritizing the safety of employees and residents, according to the Gwinnett County.
"In preparation for the snowfall, the County treated roads with brine on Monday and Tuesday." Despite this, heavy traffic and subzero temperatures made conditions difficult. Ground crews worked overnight to clear the roads, and with rising temperatures, "the vast majority of roads now cleared," as reported by the Gwinnett County.
The unexpected snowfall, which arrived later than anticipated, caused travel disruptions. "Weather conditions can change unexpectedly, and in this case, snowfall arrived later in the day, impacting travel. We value feedback as we continually assess and refine our response strategies for future winter weather events." With roads now mostly clear, Gwinnett County will continue to monitor the forecast, expecting improved conditions on Thursday, as stated by the Gwinnett County.
