Douglas County Sheriff Phil Miller sent the following statement (via Nixle) regarding Wednesday’s winter storm that dropped much lower amounts of snow than was forecasted:

(sent 11:24 a.m.)

The roads around the county are clear, and are drying out from yesterday’s weather. Thankfully, Douglas County only received a slight amount of accumulation, and the temperatures stayed warm enough to melt the sleet and snow that did fall. The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the following agencies and individuals for their help and support:

• Douglas County Fire and EMS

• Douglasville Police Department

• Douglas County DOT

• Jason Milhollin (Emergency Management Association)

• Greg Whitaker (911 Center)

• Wes Tallon (County Communications)

We feel that, overall, everyone was thoroughly prepared for the predicted wintery weather. Though the weather didn’t turn out quite as hazardous as expected, we feel that this gave us a good opportunity to practice our weather emergency strategies.

Thank you again.

Sheriff Phil Miller
