Good morning, Alpharetta.

North Georgia homeowners are urged to prepare their HVAC systems as freezing temperatures approach (HVAC expert Scott Patton advises inspections to avoid breakdowns and costly repairs).

A Winter Storm Watch is in effect from Saturday at 1:00 p.m. until Monday at 10:00 a.m. in several surrounding counties.

Alpharetta stores are stocking supplies as Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency ahead of a winter storm forecast to bring freezing rain and sleet this weekend — officials warn wet streets could re-freeze Monday.

A bill was introduced to name lemon pepper the official chicken wing flavor to honor Georgia’s culinary tradition + if approved, it will be sent to the Senate and then to Gov. Brian Kemp for final consideration.

GDOT is preparing for a winter storm set to impact travel tomorrow.

Officials urge drivers to check road conditions and plan alternative routes as the department works to keep highways safe.
