The Georgia Department of Transportation is asking homeowners to turn off sprinkler systems that are set to automatically run overnight.
"Every winter, we have icing issues due to automatically-timed sprinkler systems that are left on overnight in freezing temperatures," GDOT engineer Rachel Brown said in a statement. "They can create a very hazardous condition for motorists the next morning."
