SPECIAL NOTES
* In the Tri County community (near where Jefferson/Blount/St Clair County join) a 1/4 acre pond was completely frozen over to a depth of 1/2 inch this morning.
* At Mentone, atop Lookout Mountain in Dekalb County, an 11 acre pond was completely frozen over and the observer’s golf cart would not crank. That may be the worst thing that has happened.
A reminder, we often get more than one report from the same location
