As of approximately 12:30am, several of the roads in Fayette County have begun to freeze over. Everyone please be extra careful when stepping outside and even more so if you must get out on the roads.

So Fayette will be fine, huh? Why post this just about Coweta? The roads are gonna be bad in Fayette, too. Please, everyone, do yourselves, the police, and the emergency services teams all a big favor and STAY HOME! Smiling

No hot tub, but after a snow ball fight I did enjoy 45 minutes in the steam shower. Smiling
