Holy cow it's cold this morning! As of about 9 a.m., it was still down to about 24 degrees. I'm told by one of our veteran reporters in the field (you may know her as Rhonda "Scoop" Garcia) that it was sleeting overnight, including 2 a.m. when it woke her up.
The cold weather is brutal, but nice. And maybe it means our annual February sprinkling of snow is coming, too.
Roads are pretty good. The worst report I'd heard this morning was that the bridges over Cedar Creek Lake between Seven Points and Gun Barrel City were pretty bad. Otherwise, everyone seems to be slowly getting around. Most schools open at 10 a.m. here, although I'm told most Navarro County schools (to our west) are closed all day. Lucky them.
Please, please, please be careful out there. Even though you think the roads aren't icy, they're still probably slick. And the loop overpasses here in Athens may still be dicey (and icy).
