Monroe County EMS preps for dangerous road conditions

Monroe County EMS concerned about temperatures dropping below 32 degrees because that's when the precipitation could re-freeze and create black ice.

MONROE COUNTY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Many in Middle Georgia woke up to off and on sleet, snow flurries and wet road conditions, Captain and Public Information Officer for Monroe County EMS Christina Bramlett said as a precaution, they’ve staffed additional units in the county’s outlining stations.

She said, Middle Georgia saw rain throughout Friday, but as we enter evening hours, they’re keeping an eye on the temperature.
