Multiple roads are closed in DeKalb County due what authorities have said are traffic crashes Friday night.

A late-winter snow fell Friday evening, contrasting heavily to the warm temperatures that DeKalb County saw Thursday. Temperatures reached nearly 60 degrees Thursday. They plummeted Friday night, however, according to the National Weather Service.

Most of the snow is likely to fall before 10 p.m. Friday, forecasts show, with an overnight low of 18 degrees. Significant accumulation is not expected, however, and is forecasted to total fewer than a ½ inch. Saturday will bring sun again and highs in the upper 30s.
