episode_narrativeFreezing rain accumulated 1 to 2 inches before changing to sleet and then snow. Up to 2 to 4 inches of snow fell in the north Georgia mountains. The hardest hit counties were Dade, Walker, Catoosa, Whitfield, Murray, and Chattooga. Numerous trees and power lines were downed by ice accumulations leaving thousands of customers without power. Most power was restored by late the next day. Travel conditions became very hazardous as roads became snow covered with a solid sheet of ice underneath. Below freezing temperatures continued until the 6th with lows in the single digits the mornings of the 4th and 5th. This kept the ice frozen so hard that efforts to improve road conditions were hampered. There were numerous traffic accidents due to icy roads, which resulted in at least three indirect fatalities.
