Rock Springs. Oxford Rd over the creek was icy; I skidded a few feet while braking for the car ahead of me. Quite a few cars around Emory despite the closure. It was a tricky drive this morning up E.

She was going very slowly (b/c of intermittent icy patches), but was still very shaken by the incident. So, if you absolutely must travel down DeKalb this morning, be very, very careful--especially near the RR tracks!

Decatur, East Rock Springs between E. Sussex and Pelham Roads was a sheet of ice, and 17th Street between Peachtree and West Peachtree was a sheet of ice with a Marta bus stuck at an angle across 17th. I-85 North from Midtown to Shallowford was clear and dry.All major roads were clear but neighborhood streets were touch and go. Just take your time, leave lots of space between cars.
