A weekly email for the young & forever young in Historic Norcross
DID YOU KNOW...?
The National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Watch for Norcross from Saturday afternoon, January 24, through Monday morning, January 26! Significant icing is possible. Norcross officials say (as of Thursday night) freezing rain could bring more than 0.25 inches of ice, plus wind gusts above 30 mph. Roads and bridges could be dangerous, or even impossible, to travel at times. Power outages are also possible if trees and power lines come down!
Norcross Police will be fully staffed, and emergencies should be reported to 770-448-2111. Public Works crews will salt roads ahead of the storm. If you can, plan ahead, stay home, and check on neighbors who may need a hand!
