Anticipating a new round late this afternoon

A new round of the wintry mix is anticipated to arrive in Oconee County by late afternoon. It’s a sign more weather trouble lies ahead–even though there has been some melting between morning and early afternoon. Don’t let that fool you, according to Scott Krein, director of Oconee Emergency Management. Krein makes a special appeal. If you have a friend of a loved one in the hospital, please do not try a visit the rest of today. So many visitors flocked to Oconee Medical Center this morning that, according to Krein, it has caused problems. Be assured, Krein says, that the hospital has on duty adequate professionals to care for your loved ones and friends.
