Good morning Oglethorpe county! We still have ice on the trees and roadways. If you must travel, use extreme caution. Winds are beginning to pick up this morning. We are almost to the other side of this winter storm. Put it into perspective, look at it like this. The Dawgs are only up by one touch down, there’s 1:30 left on the clock in the fourth quarter and Tech has the ball at the 50 yard line with a fresh set of downs. Can’t claim the win yet but we are close. Stay safe and stay warm.
