Additional freezing rain accumulations of 0.25 to 0.50 inches are expected in areas that stay below freezing. State troopers responded to 653 calls and 17 traffic crashes by noon Sunday in storm-affected areas.
How This Affects Real People: Drivers on Ga. 400 face flooded roadways and the risk of falling trees. The combination of flooding and ice creates dangerous driving conditions.
