Good advice from @enkiresearch.bsky.social for those of us here in the "Frogmore Metroplex" about Sunday and Monday travel plans: "If you have to go out, try to figure out an excuse not to."

Just back from a quick walk around the neighborhood, and while the melt is underway, there seemed to be even more slick spots than yesterday afternoon. Also, folks are driving too fast. Slow down, Savannah. #SAVwx #GaWX
"See what's in between the obvious 'slush' (which is also hard and slick since it refroze last night) on this bit of road? Oh, wait, you can't — it's clear ice on the pavement (aka black ice)." #SavannahGA #SAVwx #GaWX
Just took a walk around the neighborhood and saw some smart people driving around with snow and ice completely covering their windshields, except for single, dinner plate-sized areas they cleared to peer through. Y'all need to stay home. #SavannahGa #SAVwx #GaWX

A photograph of an American flag flying at half staff in front of Savannah Arts Academy (formerly Savannah Hight School) in Savannah, Georgia. Savannah High School evolved as the senior division of Chatham Academy, chartered by the Georgia Legislature in 1788. In 1935, due to overcrowding in schools, the Board of Education collaborated with the Public Works Administration to erect this structure, the largest construction in the state at that time. In 1963 twelve African-American students selected by the NAACP integrated Savannah High School, one of the first two schools in Chatham County to integrate. Savannah High School moved to Pennsylvania Avenue in 1997 and Savannah Arts Academy, a visual and performing arts school, occupied this site.
