Road and Bridge crews will continue to treat and plow County roads through the night. If you go out, be aware of equipment on the roads - give them lots of space. #elcoblizzard2

Based on improving weather conditions and low traffic numbers on County roads, Elbert County is deactivating its Emergency Operations Center as of 7:00 PM. Continue to monitor weather and road conditions in your area before you venture out, and please be safe! #elcoblizzard2

We are back out with the Elizabeth Snowcat this morning! They got a report of a National Guard snowcat stranded, but it looks like they are able to get out. These guys barely got a nap in overnight. They are working so hard to rescue people. #9News

Anne and I want to give a HUGE shoutout to these two Elizabeth firefighters, Scott and Travis. Not only did they let us sit in the back of their snowcat today, but they have rescued so many people. They are kind and funny while in dangerous situations themselves. #9News
