“As we return to normal operations, I want to thank the residents of DeKalb County for their patience and cooperation during this challenging time,” said CEO Cochran-Johnson. “Although conditions have improved, we urge everyone to exercise caution, especially after dark, as icy spots may persist.”
The order was placed after a winter storm moved through metro Atlanta on Tuesday, leaving icy conditions on roads across the area, including many in DeKalb County.
