Colquitt County Emergency Management Director Justin Cox has just sent out an updated forecast for our area. At this time, winter precipitation is expected to occur around 5-6 PM on Tuesday, with conditions peaking early Wednesday morning. The expected snow accumulation has increased, and we are now forecasted to receive up to 4″ of snow. While this may reduce the threat of icy roadways, do not count on it—conditions can still be hazardous.
