A blast of winter air is settling over Chattooga County and the rest of Northwest Georgia Monday, and the National Weather Service in Peachtree City is warning that some roads could turn slick in spots during the morning hours.
As frigid air settles into Chattooga County behind the weekend rain, volunteers with the Chattooga County Community Resource Center will continue operating a warming station at 150 Third Street in Summerville, located in the gym above the CRC Food Bank.
The warming station will remain available through Wednesday morning, January 28, 2026, and is scheduled to close at 9:00 a.m. that day.
The warming station hours are 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. Monday and Tuesday. If power outages occur, the site will transition to continuous operation to provide a safe, warm place for those who need it.
Chattooga County Public Works, city maintenance departments, and local law enforcement will continue monitoring road conditions and treating roadways as needed.
Residents are urged to stay weather-aware as dangerously cold conditions will be with us for the next couple of days.
Drivers should use caution if traveling, particularly this evening and overnight as temperatures drop.
Fire officials say last week’s destructive fire at Henry’s BBQ in Summerville may have started in or around a heater near the front of the restaurant, and investigators say the building’s roofing and structural construction likely contributed to how quickly the blaze intensified.
A longtime favorite in Summerville has served its last slice. The Crushed Tomato closed its doors last week after 14 years in business.
Chattooga County Tax Commissioner Joy Hampton is reminding residents that the tax books are now open for the return of 2026 State and County taxes, and all required returns must be filed on or before April 1, 2026.
A Chattooga County Jail inmate was hospitalized last week after being repeatedly stabbed with a pencil during an altercation inside the facility, according to Sheriff Mark Schrader.
