While the freezing rain and sleet likely continued through the night, the National Weather Service predicted the icy precipitation will slow down around 10 a.m. today and then drizzle intermittently until around 1 p.m. before tapering off. But with the moisture still on the ground, combined with freezing temperatures overnight, roadways can be dangerous, said Bulloch County Public Safety Director Ted Wynn. After working from 3 a.m. to well after 6 p.m. Monday, Wynn said the day saw massive regional power outages, downed power lines, fallen trees and a few fires caused by sparking electrical wires.
