Residents in Gwinnett County are preparing for a rare winter weather event later this week.
What’s Happening: According to the latest forecast issued on Tuesday, January 9, at 3 p.m., Gwinnett County is expected to see about one inch of snow on Friday, possibly up to two inches, depending on how the system moves once it gets here.
Why It Matters: For a county unaccustomed to winter weather, even light snowfalls can create hazardous driving conditions and disruptions to schools and businesses. Ice and sleet may also mix in, particularly as temperatures fluctuate. These conditions could lead to challenges for commuters and first responders.
What’s Next: Local officials recommend staying off the roads if possible during the snow and preparing for delays. Residents are urged to monitor updated forecasts closely and make any necessary preparations for Friday.
Snow in Gwinnett County is always an attention-grabber, so stay alert for updates.
