Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and a group of state officials gave the first update of the day on winter storm conditions in the state.

They say efforts are underway to respond to the wintery conditions in the northern part of the state and some parts of Central Georgia.

Georgians of a certain age remember two major winter events – the blizzard of 1993 and the "Snowjam" of 2014. The blizzard is called a one-in-a-lifetime event in the state, but 2014's debacle was blamed on state officials' failure to plan.
