Wintry mix was certainly what metro area faced

“Wintry mix” was the all-encompassing description of the day. Even the Georgia DOT interstate signs displayed that term to urge drivers to be careful.

Sunday’s “mix” was a brew that had high winds, temperatures dancing above and below freezing, a swirling weather front and a sliding scale of rain, sleet and snow. Mix that with an enormous geographical area and you’ll have some wintry variety.

Residents could face post-storm problems Monday morning. As evening approached Sunday, temperatures were dropping below freezing, causing highways and roads to freeze and wrecks to become more common.
