Cobb County commissioners proceeded with a public hearing Tuesday morning on new taxes and fees to help pay for its $300 million commitment toward a new Atlanta Braves stadium, despite Gov. Nathan Deal declaring a state of emergency for Atlanta metro region and other areas of the state.

Only a few residents spoke at the hearing. Roads were wet but there was no accumulation of ice or sleet on the interstate highways or surface roads around Marietta and East Cobb.

Cobb transportation officials sent out an email after the meeting stating that a winter storm warning was in effect until 1 p.m. Thursday. The advisory said it will be a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain.
