Lincoln spoke with Merriweather and her mother as they returned to their car with groceries in hand.

The pair had to park on the side of the road just to get to the grocery store because of the icy road conditions.

“It was scary. The car was sliding. She had to grab onto the wheel and move it around, it was crazy,” she told Lincoln.

Late Friday morning, Paulding County officials reported all county roads were impassable after the county received two to four inches of snow.

A spokesperson for the county says they’ve had several cars lose control and crash into ditches. The County’s Department of Transportation will be grading major roadways.
