Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency Wednesday ahead of anticipated freezing temperatures slated to move into the state over the holiday weekend. 

The order was still being finalized Wednesday and will allow for supplies, particularly propane, to be delivered for residential and commercial needs, the governor said. Kemp said the declaration covers the state through midnight on Monday.

"We want to urge all Georgians to be ready and certainly that goes for our teams," he said during a news conference.

Russell McMurry, the Georgia Department of Transportation commissioner, outlined a plan to treat and brine roads ahead of the freezing conditions.

The agency is pre-treating 21,000 miles of state roadways north of Columbus and Augusta. 

"We're asking for your cooperation, if you don't have to be out tomorrow stay home and stay warm," McMurray said. "Certainly on Friday morning, we're asking you not go out."

Officials said residents should prepare kits in the event of power loss that may last multiple days. The Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency have spoken with utility providers about ensuring power and heat inside medical facilities are met so they can continue to operate, Director James Stallings said.

Beginning Friday through Monday, morning temperatures are forecasted to be below freezing for an extended amount of time in the state, the National Weather Service in Atlanta tweeted. The wind chill watch was upgraded to a wind chill warning for northern Georgia, the agency aid. 

In other parts of the country, bitter cold temperatures are expected.

At least 26 states are under wind chill advisories Wednesday as the National Weather Service is warning Americans to bundle up in preparation for "record-breaking low temperatures" from a strong arctic cold front that is sweeping its way across the country. 

The watches and warnings, which stretch from the U.S.-Canada border all the way down to the Texas Gulf Coast, come as forecasters are expecting wind chill values to possibly drop as low as minus 70 degrees in areas of the central High Plains.

Actress and musician Lily Allen sparked an online debate after she defended "nepo babies" in Hollywood, a term for the children of famous parents.

Allen, the daughter of "Trainspotting" actor Keith Allen and film producer Alison Owen, argued on Twitter that the road to success for "nepo babies" isn't as simple as some may think. The industry, she said, is not "parent friendly."

The "nepo babies" people should really be worried about, Allen intoned, are those in other industries.

"The nepo babies y’all should be worrying about are the ones working for legal firms, the ones working for banks, and the ones working in politics, if we’re talking about real world consequences and robbing people of opportunity," Allen tweeted. "BUT that’s none of my business."

Seeing that she had "riled up" social media commenters, Allen offered a larger explanation.

"I do feel that nepo babies are being somewhat scapegoated here though, there is a wider, societal conversation to be had about wealth inequality, about lack of programs and funding, and I guess that was the point I was trying to make, maybe badly," she said.

"I promise you I’m not rooting for an industry full of people that had childhoods that looked like mine," she continued. "I just really think that we can’t get to a real solution without identifying the real problem, as fun as it is to laugh at the kids of famous people. Nepo babies have feelings." 

"In childhood we crave stability and love, nurturing," Allen also tweeted. "We don’t care about money or proximity to power yet. Many of the nepo babies are starved of these basic things in childhood as their parents are probably narcissistic."

In closing, she admitted it's "important to disclose what a privileged upbringing" she's had and how it has "created so many opportunities" for her.

Several Twitter users pointed out that her parents have their own "Wikipedia pages" and argued she should sit out the debate.

"Nepo babies from any industry should not be directing any part of this conversation, actually," Delia Harrington, an arts and culture writer for Artnet, tweeted.

"Says the daughter of an actor, and film producer, attended the most expensive private schools in the UK, one of which was the school attended by King Charles III. The working class have been sharp elbowed out of the arts by cosplayers such as you, and used as props when needed," another user said of Allen's Twitter thread.

Several other Twitter users, however, simply said, "she's right," noting that it's common for people to enter the same career as their parents.

"Some nepo babies create new, amazing art in their own right. I wasn't even aware some actors were nepo babies bc their performance was phenomenal," another observer said.

Some offered more neutral takes.

"[T]he ppl raising valid concerns about consequences of nepotism in politics/legal system/education etc haven’t stopped talking bc folks are also talking about nepotism in Hollywood. If you’re talented & successful (which you are) I’d think being called a ‘nepo baby’ wouldn’t matter," actress and comedian Franchesca Ramsey said.

Vulture published a feature on nepotism around the same time that Allen's Twitter thread sparked a debate over Hollywood.

"We love them, we hate them, we disrespect them, we’re obsessed with them. On the latest @nymag cover, @kn8’s extremely-overly-analyzed story on Hollywood’s nepo-baby boom," the outlet tweeted with a link to the piece. 

A deep dive into several famous faces who fall under the "nepo babies" category, such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Platt, Maya Hawke, and Lily Collins, among others, the piece dated the debate back to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The stir over Hollywood nepotism had begun to percolate at the start of the pandemic, which both supercharged the backlash against celebrities and heightened the salience of their dynastic ties," it said.
