CLEVELAND, Ga. — White County Public Safety Director David Murphy reports that White County apparently dodged a bullet last night.

In an email this morning, Murphy said, “A warm layer of air from the Gulf of Mexico kept our precipitation liquid longer than expected resulting is less snow accumulation. We averaged 2.5” county wide with a few higher amounts in some locations.

“While the precipitation has all but ended, we will see a flurry or two for the next few hours. Temps are not expected to get above 32 today so we may have some travel issues especially on the secondary roads.

“We will get some sun today and that may help melt some of the snow but we should remain below freezing so most of what is out there will remain probably through Sunday or maybe even Monday. Primary Roads seem to be in good shape.

“(Temperature will drop to 12 tonight with wind chill of -2. Sunny and 33 Sunday and the wind chill may dip to -1 at times. Sunday night 16 and up to 36 on Monday.
