Meanwhile, the Georgia Department of Transportation said it would begin to brine roadways in parts of metro Atlanta in preparation of potential "flash freezing."

GDOT crews will be treating interstates, state routes, bridges and overpasses with salt on the west side of the city, until 7 p.m., and again starting at 8 p.m. until 8 a.m. After that, GDOT said additional crews will continue brining, as needed. Drivers, meanwhile, are being asked to avoid unnecessary travel in these areas.
