Seems like a lot more businesses plan to open today – that’s the other thread! – but there’s likely to be a considerable amount of ice on the street until the temperature works its way up toward 32 degrees. So here we go again!

Report road conditions in your area.  Let your neighbors who must go out know the best routes.

Let’s hope that this is the last one of these posts we’ll need for a long time!

If you’re just visiting this site for the first time, this post is here for neighbors to help each other out and report on Decatur-area road conditions.

So, I wasn’t sure if I was going to put another one of these up today, but so far this morning I’ve been hearing really mixed things about the roads.

MARTA is now running buses on a limited schedule and the mail, UPS and FedEx trucks are back on the roads delivering mail and parcels to shut-in residents starving for human contact.  (“Hey, thanks for the package.  Want to come in for some hot cocoa and some cookies?!”)

So road conditions must be improving, right??

And then a Tweeting road warrior like Thomas Wheatley splashes cold water all over my revived expectations…

Today is the worst for roads. Stay off em. Ice everywhere.

All this leads me to believe that it’s really a mixed bag out there and a post like this is necessary to help folks stay on the clear roads and away from the stretches of arctic tundra.
