AUGUSTA, Ga () – Snow on the roof looking like a Christmas card…but it was no holiday for drivers on the city roadways like the Bobby Jones Expressway.
“Everybody is driving pretty slow now, everybody is going about 30. I’m not used to that,” said Jasmin Gardner.

“On Bobby Jones?”

“Yeah,” she said.
Driving in Augusta means sometimes encountering steep hills. Like Windsor Spring, where going down was a white knuckled ride, hoping to get down safe. And coming up drivers hoping to get to the top without sliding back.
Motorists out in these conditions said it was better not to be.

“It’s bad. You got to hold it in the road, because if not, if you have a wreck, you got cars stuck everywhere, you know what I mean? Just be safe and drive safe. If you ain’t got to get on the road, stay out of the road,” said Joe Willis.
The roads were impacted by changing weather. At times there was snow, sleet and rain…even all three. We asked an out-of-towner how Augusta drivers were handling it. 

“I’m not too sure how Augusta is handling it, but I mean I’m used to it, a little bit. Not too bad for me, a little slurry here and there,” said Brendon Anthony from Wilmington.
But the best advice: if you don’t have to…don’t handle it at all.  

“A lot of inexperienced drivers need to stay off the road, that’s for sure,” Anthony said.
“Having wrecks and spinning, you know if you can stay off the road, if you ain’t have to get out… don’t get out,” said Willis.
And while there was enough winter weather to create driving headaches, there wasn’t enough of it to drive people to one of the city’s favorite sliding hills off Berckmans Road, so it was tough sledding.
“The kids are just going to play in the back yard probably, that’s about it,” said Gardner.

“No sliding?” “No,” she said.
